I introduced my European Delivery Price comparator a couple of years ago.
It has been redesigned, updated with current prices, and include all current BMW automobiles (Z4 in preparation, coming soon).
You can access the tool at http://bmwcalc.wikispaces.com
It requires Microsoft Excel on your system, with macros enabled.
I hope you will enjoy it.

Thanks for posting this little calculator. 
After a quick look at it, I think it's pretty neat but it's difficult to use properly since the option dependencies don't really reflect the proper pricing, etc. For example, on a 550i, if I choose the sport package, SMG is a no-charge option but on the calculator, the SMG option still adds $1300 to the price. This same issue applies to other things too like it the ZCW option is chosen, things like option 494 (heated front seats) should show up as $0 cost options. (I realize I could deselect the SMG as a work-around, etc.)
In order to use this tool accurately, you really need to pay close attention to the options (and possibly build the car using BMW's website first to show how the particular options are related...)
Overall, nice job -- a few tweaks and it'll be golden!

Thanks for the feedback.
Re. the $1300 for SMG, if I understand you correctly, shows up because of the Gas Guzzler fee.
Gas guzzler fees vary (on some models) depending on the transmission.
So it is convenient to lump them together, as indicated by the description "SMG transmission (req. ZSP) + Gas guzzler fee (when applicable)"
