The visibility pack includes Xenon, headlight wash and adaptive lights but you seem to have spec'd the pack as well as the separate options (unless you are just expanding the options in the pack). Same for Media Pack and Sat Nav, CD changer etc.
I think you've picked every single option BMW has. The only options I can think that you are missing are heated seats and heated steering wheel.
The options must be costing you about 50% extra on the cost of the car, right?
