Agreed, but while that may work in the US, it probably won't in other markets. In my case I was able to choose an X7 or an X5 if I want this size/type of vehicle. The X7 is an M50d and the X5 is a 30d Sport - thats it! There is a configurator screen, but you can choose the car colour and the seat colour and even then sometimes that choice is limited.

My X7 came with everything I wanted except the ventilated seats. The only way around would be to go to a parallel importer. It would work out cheaper, but BMW will not service the vehicle - so the risk (for me at least) wasn't worth it. Therefore, if I want the X7, I have to forgo the option....
