Got a copy from my dealer yesterday and I have scanned and posted it below (as well as a link to a pdf file). Well, BMW did not add any new exterior/interior colors like I was hoping they would. I wanted the Truffle Brown interior, which is available outside the US (even in Canada).
There are a couple of changes that I noticed:
1. In-dash CD changer has a separate option code now (672), as well as being included in the premium sound package with Logic 7.
2. The Shadowline Trim in the Sport Package has been replaced by the Satin Chrome Trim.
3. Active Steering is available as a stand alone option (217), as well as being included in the Sport Package.
You can see the copy below (or click on the link for the pdf version):

According to the notes, you can't order the ventilated seats with the cold weather package. 
Sometimes it can get really cold (-0F)so you need cold weather package, but can also get really hot (100F)in Colorado, and ventilated seats would be nice also. I know that the heated front seats are included, but what about the heated steering wheel and headlight cleaning system? Can they be ordered individually?

Whoa! If you get the sports package you can replace the sport seats with the comfort seats for no charge! The comfort seats used to have to be ordered seperately and cost $1200.00 I believe.
Ah well! Atleast BMW finally did the right thing. I'll write them a letter to ship me the front sport seats I paid for and didn't receive. LOL
In all seriousness I should call BMWNA and request a $1200.00 refund. Anyone feel the same? I'm not usually one to be a penny pincher but this issue has bugged me since the beginning!
Grrrr!!
