Update From Michael Moore
Dear Sir or Madam:
Here is some additional information for your "option codes" page.
The information is current as of December 2000 for the 2001 model year E39,
and is taken from the Swiss pricing guide for the E39, which is a 10 page
booklet given out to prospective customers.
This booklet is only printed in French, German and Italian ( to suit the
Swiss market), I have translated the option descriptions into English. For
sake of consistency, I have referred to the BMW UK website to find the
English language terms for the original German/French descriptions in the
book.
Prices quoted are in Swiss francs. One Swiss franc is approx. 0.60 US$
(sixty cents US). The original German document was the quote that my dealer
in Zurich supplied me from the BMW computer for my 540 station wagon. Note
that many of the items that are included in the standard equipment package
in North America are optional in Europe, and, of course, many of the items
that are optional in Europe are just not available in North America. But, I
understand that you may request European options through BMW Individual, so
long as you provide the option code, and the option does not contravene
North American safety regulations (such as the television in the navigation
display), or require special approval (such as the built-in child seats in
the rear seat).
Hope this is helpful to you. Let me know if you have any questions.
