BMW Driver is on a distinguished road
I wouldn't go so far as calling the information crap; I'm not sure exactly what makes you the definitive expert on all that is BMW. In any case, it does beg the question of why BMW would call the same option a completely different name. There are different packages available in different countries and they have different names because they include a different set of options. I don't see why BMW would call this "Individual" in one market and "Enhanced" in another and "Super Duper" in yet another.

This has been vetted over and over again. The answer is all over this thread.
I didn't know I was the definitive expert on all that is BMW. Thanks for thinking of me as such.

They do it all the time.

The individual, the high end and the m-audio are all the same. Special Dsp, upgraded speakers and a more powerful amplifier.

The speakers also get a aluminum bezel around them.

To create confusion and prevent markets from comparing the relative values of their offerings!

Indeed, BMW (and all manufacturers) all spend quite a bit of time creating the illusion of differences- take the term "Sport" that BMW throws around. It can be as superficial as different wheels, window trim and a steering wheel. But the marketing literature leads you to believe it has something to do with suspensions! In some models it does, in others not- all with the express purpose of making BMW more money.
