Hi all,
I 'm from Europe, and want to buy some re-imported E60 from United States. Do anybody can help me? - What is different between US-market and Euro-market E60 models 525, 530, 525xi and 530xi? Lights, dashbord (destination in Miles, temperature in F, fuel in gallons) something else?
Sorry for bad english

Are you sure this is true, on 2008? I think the difference in radial diameter may be with the heated steering wheel versus without? I have the 550i with Sport package and heated wheel; I wouldn't want the wheel any thicker, for sure.

well, thats what i originally knew...my one's an 07 non-LCI model. for the wheel i had the option of the regular or the sport one. Only with the M-sport package did i get this wheel...i guess the hand grip is what makes it look thicker maybe...i'll get back to u on this in a while...in the meanwhile, here are some pics of mine for you to compare to yours...

ok yea so i looked at it more carefully, and the extra grip is what makes the steering look thicker...n the US 08 models sport package doesnt come with the grip. but i'd say the grip also gives u a more sportier feel...
and iversonm, how does your one have those grips while the others dont? is it pre LCI??

Where did you dig up the diagrams? do you have a link to current parts diagrams for 08's? I'm wondering which wheel my 550i will come with..?
I'm picking up my 550i Carbon black/w/Natural interior sport package, heated steering wheel, etc etc...the end of the month..Any clue?

I got the diagrams off of realoem.com. Unfortunately, it only is current through 11/06 production.
