Question about features on new X3

I will be ordering a 2012 x3 35i in a few months and I am trying to get some clarification on a couple of features. Does the new X3 have heated outside mirrors? I live in Ohio and winters here are long so heated mirrors are important. My dealership said they thought that it comes with heated mirrors, but I cannot find this in any of the literature or the website. I also would like to know if it comes with power tilt/telescoping steering wheel. The brochure says it does as an option, but I cannot find this option anywhere. I was hoping some owners would have better information because the website, dealer and brochure all say something different.

No power tilt/telescoping wheel. I set the tilt/telescope once and leave it.

Not sure about the heated side mirrors.

Yes both mirrors are heated. I couldn't find it anywhere on there website but the owners manual states that both mirrors are automatically heated when the engine is running. It is on page 54.

As sard says, definitely no power tilt/pull on the steering wheel (or memory function) even if you have electric seats + memory. The UK brochure is wrong on this and says it is power tilt. It isn't.

Not sure on heated side mirrors. Pretty sure I don't have them and mine are folding/auto dimming. I had heated side mirrors on my last car and it was quite handy.
