E61 has 5% longer gears and weighs more. Rear visibility isn't as good in E61. However, you can get panoramic sunroof in E61. Other than this I'm not aware of.

Actually it should be cheaper, less doors, less windows etc. However it is produced in smaller amount so less pieces to divide the costs and all the rest is marketing.

The T comes with rear air suspension which adds to the cost.

I think the rear suspension makes the car drive a little firmer/tighter which is better.
