I know, it gets confusing. Different markets get different options. UK gets intelibeam lighting, US gets Sirrius radio and spare tire. If they could only simplify things and make the available options the same across the whole model line everywhere. Seems like marketing #%$&* to me. A dealer told me that he had a customer order an American version with HEATED SEATS for export to Dubia. I have never been there, but heated seats would not be first on my list for the Desert.Point is, you never know what brochure pictures are intended for which market.

I read a test repport of the X5 this morning that mentionned that the Auto Park will be available in March /April (X5 release date in Europe).

I have decided not to pre oredr the X5 and wait for th Autopark and Auto Tailgate.

Similar to what is on the Cadillac. There is a sensor in the headlight housing that measures light coming from oncoming traffic and light from surrounding. The headlight automatically adjusts between high and low beam depending on the darkeness of say a country road and switches to high beam once it senses oncoming headlights it switches to lowbeam then back again as needed.

this sounds like a useful feature. it is ridiculous that bmw thinks that europe needs this and not the USA?? they did the same thing with the rear fog light.... do they think we don't have fog in the USA???
