It's interesting to me the different names that's been given for the same thing in different countries.
For example, here in South Africa we have the option of having Pro Logic 7 instead of Harman Kardon Pro 7. And our vehicles come standard with a Motorplan, our term for the full maintanance warrenty package. For the first 75 miles that is.
Do you guys in USA also have the choice between a Standard E60 and an Executive E60?

The 'Li' (Long wheel base) is only available for the 7Series all over the world except China where they have a Li version for the E60 as well... and yes packages vary from place to place..for example the Cold Package isn't available here in Pakistan because it's not so cold

I didn't even know you had a "Cold Package"! Just goes to show the differences. As a matter of interest, what is the "Cold Package"?
