Lightbulb Europe Order

I'm like a newbie when it come to this car, that i indent to order in the the next month. I'll appreciate any assistance from users which have experience with BMW and specially this F10 model. I'm interested in the European version.
I'm tight in the budget so i'll go with the 520 diesel, which i understand will be available starting November this year.
Does the default 7" Control Display come with navigation support? Or this is available only for the optional Business and Professional Navigation?
I never found any reference anywhere about the default cd/dvd sound system. It's CD or DVD? or maybe booth? Also mp3 supported etc/.
Anyone have any idea if there are multiple 'assembly' lines within the factory, like having one for West Europe and another for East?

Thank you so much, any response will be much appreciated!

Where is this Europe you speak of? If you are in an actual country, go to BMW's website for that country. It's the best place to learn how the cars in your particular part of the market are equipped. Even within Europe, there are regional differences. In any case, you can take satisfaction in the wide range of choices you will have that are not available to your friends in the U.S. and Canada. Good luck!

I intend to make this order in Germany.
carl_d Thank you for the link that was very useful.

There is one more question that i really keen to find an answer, so anyone have any idea if there are multiple 'assembly' lines within the German factory, like having cars for West Europe and another for East? Or.. whatsoever for different places, like WV and Audi does. I'm curious about that since i heard the quality it's not the same .

The website you want for configuring a car is www.bmw.com. It will get you to the German car configurator so that you can see what equipment is standard, and what choices you have. Where your car might be built depends on which model it is, rather than where it's going. (An exception is probably China, where cars are assembled exclusively, I think, for the China market.) BMW's Dingolfing plant makes 5, 6 and 7 series cars for all destinations. 3 series sedans are made in Munich and in South Africa. 1 and 3 series coupes and convertibles are made in Regensburg. I believe there's also a factory in Dresden, and I think the other 1-series cars are assembled there. X cars are made in South Carolina (USA), and Z cars in Austria. Each plant. so far as I know, has just one assembly line. It is amazing to see the variety of models and equipment put together on a single line. I've never heard of quality issues relating to the plant where BMW's are assembled. Manufacturing quality is much more influenced by design and engineering than it is by the assembly process itself.
