Enjoy! No Info on Prices or Rates as of yet. I suspect that the residuals will stay the same, but the Money Factor will range from .200 to .250.

A couple of things I noticed straight away...
- looks like ventilated Comfort Seats (w/ Nasca) leather may come in 'classic' beige instead of the lighter Cream Beige. Only Dakota Leather seems to reference Cream Beige
- kinds of strange that 18" style 246 wheels come with 'performance tyres' and a spare wheel. Does this mean they are not run-flats I wonder... now that would be a strange (but very welcome) twist in the plot!

Translation: I asked Raighne whether, as a resident of Ireland, he had been able to pick up anything concrete for the EU market from your document, given his comment.
Oh, and I posted within the same timeframe as his post about the leather and wheels but it's still unclear which elements of this guide, if any, do not apply to the EU market.

On the 550i Packages, "7MP Sport Package" is also listed as part of the Sport Package (ZSP). Can anyone shed some light on what that is?

To be fair, he is right about one thing and that is the US option spec is not a conclusive indicator of the spec in other countries (in my case Ireland). However, it is still an indicator, and in the absence of more details on the facelift, I, and I think others, are having great fun trying to work out the specifics...
ABC is okay ... just don't take his 'witty' comments too seriously and you'll be fine...

And being "right about one thing", which things was I wrong about in this post? I like to learn.
