Mine arrives January too (530d SE 4dr) and BMW have told me that it won't have the heated front seats as it went into production last week (the USB is already standard on the 2010 530d but will become an additional standard feature on the more popular 520d). The changes affect cars built from January onwards rather than the delivery date.

UK cars have full leather trim as standard (not leatherette).
