No,it's indeed the same option you have in Europe on other models like my current 520d. It works with your mobile phone's data connection. It's not carrier related.
The only difference is that on the new X5 you can use the touchpad on the Itouch to browse. And yes, it only works when your standing still (which is understandable from a safety aspect, but it doesn't make it really practical)
