Very nice ride. I'm sort of regretting not getting the Rear Comfort Seats; the rear seat bottoms seem rather 'short' to me. Otherwise:
1. The Rear Comfort Seats may be causing the lack of a pass through Ski Bag.
2. Correct, no more First Aid Kit. Very strange for them to remove this for the US. I did get one, though, because I did European Delivery; which I made sure to pack in my luggage so that they would not remove same at the VDC.
3. Correct, even with the Premium Sound Package, you no longer get the CD Changer above the glove compartment. Instead, for 2011, Satellite Radio is no longer a standalone option, and is included in place of the CD Changer. But, yes, if you wanted the CD (DVD) Changer above the glove compartment, you would have had to order the Rear Entertainment System; which I did not due to EMF concerns.
xDrive50i: I don't believe US models ever received the additional CD/DVD Changer at the rear of the center console; different for Canada / Europe, etc.
craker123: Can you please post a list of all of your options; I'm interested! And, how did you know about 5 Place Seating with the Rear Comfort Seats; did you salesperson inform you of this change for 2011!? And, lucky you got the Pirellis; I have the Goodyears
