Garry,

Don't know about you but "up north" I had a dreadful time getting to test drive anything like the car I've got. Lucky I knew the 2.5litre straight six already, but the add ons to a large extent were guess work, "ooh that sounds nice"-type decisions.
LOL, spot on there DrT

I seem to remember a previous discussion on this thread. I believe that the consensus was that there are two versions of the On Board Computer (OBC) - a basic and an advanced.

These additional functions are only available on systems with the advanced OBC.

The advanced version comes with both versions of Nav and on cars with Advanced Air Conditioning, regardless of whether they have Nav.

Those with Std A/C and no Nav get the basic OBC.

Nav with Std A/C - Advanced OBC
Advanced A/C - Advanced OBC
No nav, Std A/C - Basic OBC
I believe that's correct too.
I've only got Advanced A/C and NO Nav and I do have the advanced OBC.

I don't think we have that option in the U.S. just wondering what is advanced air conditioning?

I guess US is advanced A/C only.
To name one thing: REST = advanced A/C. If you have a REST button on the right temperature dial youhave advanced A/C.

Can someone enlighten us as to why BMW offers different cars to the US and Europe?

Seems like we have similar tastes. Is it a manufacturing thing?

In MHO I think it is really the cost. Any way they can cut the cost they will. Not to sell a cheap car but so the end users cost is cheaper. There have been a lot of discussions about the price of cars here in Europe and in Asia. 100,000. Euros to purchas a 5 Series seems to be something that pops up here often. Just my thoughts on it this rainy morning.
