Of course it is in German, and if you cannot read it will take time to navigate through into the car configurator section, but it is worth it. Unlike the US market BMW actually SHOWS the real interior with what appears to be REAL pictures. You can see the colors and the textures. Sad that we do not have this on the BMWUSA site. IT is not a BMW Individual issue I am referring to, (we can argue that again), but rather the fact that on the BMWUSA build your own site, you really do not get a clue about what your interior will look like. Dealers are not much help either. CHECK OUT the German site it REALLY shows alot. REMEMBER that alot of the colors etc in the interior section are not availalbe in the US but again, you will see the diff between the Nappa, (soft bolsters with no grain with textured Montana like leather in the middle), and Heritage, (parallel stitching througout the seat, and a single color).
Re: PDC I can tell you this. I drove an X5 the other day that had it and I swore beforehand that I would never own it. IT is a cool device and all it comes down to is whether you think the sensors are ugly. Your call.
MAudio? MUST have, whether you are an audio person or not. The trunk will lose a little in the flexibility department, (the woofers hang down a bit), but it is worth it.
