Leather
4 way drivers and passenger power seats
Electric Tilt and Forward Steering Function
PDC
Auto AirCondition with extended
Auto Transmission
but I think since our final price with customs duty is so high, they have included some options within the price so we never really know what might be the actual cost of these Asian dealers.

This is what I've learned so far:
BMW uses "Dirac Live" on the F10. More about DiRAC here.
Logic7 is a signal processing technique developed by Lexicon, a Harman company. More about Logic7 here.
I don't know why they still use the Logic7 term with the new HiFi Professional sound system. It could be that they still use the surround functions from Logic7 and DiRAC Live to compensate for the bad room acoustics in a car.
I would guess that the physical speakers are mfg'd by Harman/Becker as before - but I have no proof of that.
I find it strange that BMW doesn't emphasize and "show-off" the excellent sound system like other brands do. Look at Audi, they have the B&O (Bang&Olufsen) or the BOSE logo printed on the speaker grilles, same goes for Aston Martin (Linn and B&O).

I'm also interested in what kind of improvements BMW done soundwise in th F10.
