Bottom line, I think the on-line configurator is good for getting an idea of what you want, but a visit with a good sales rep is the best way to finalize a configuration and costs.

The configuration did go live that day, but there where already news and press releases in other areas of the site... BMWusa.com has other areas of information available to the public. i got the High Def photos a week before from BMWusa.com
the configuration is broken even to BMW internally... i told him the sales person in Wurzburg i wanted every option available... and he was able to do it... minus the staggered setup... he told me i could get it but it would have to be an after sales purchase... which meant i would have 6 wheels total... He asked me if i was interested in German Spec model and that it had deeper configuration options..... He had tons of high def pictures from the UK model and they have Euro models for test driving but although they do have staggered wheels they still dont look quite like the one in the pictures.... it seems like maybe the vehicle height and wheels were altered quite a bit for the photo shoot...
He really explained to me that each country has a its own market requirements and options, and that BMW AG just builds what is asked from the different markets....
