2012 F10 Changes

In wonder if they will offer the leather covered dash option in 2012 as they offer in the new 6 series and the 7? I'd like to order a 2012 550 M Sport with this option... More wheel choices would be nice as well, such as the 20" v spoke wheel offered as an option on the 6... Just sayin...

Would love some better wheels - dont think any of the current crop are really inspiring - hence i kept the standard ones on mine in the hope that some new styles will appear soon.

Wonder if the X5 wheels would fit on the F10 -seen a few i like on them.

Really? None of them??

I didn't like the "W-spoke" wheels on the sport 550i, but I really like the double-spoke 19" wheels in the M Sport package.

19" M wheels in person are sharp looking i think....the shape and convex nature of the spokes make the wheels look bigger than 19"

It looks like these are European changes. Am I to assume that these will take place/be available in the USA for 2012?...
