Some E320 CDI Questions

Just a note, at this time by 7 to 1, people on the E60 BMW forum prefer the CDI to the 530.

Now for the questions:
[list=1][*]Is there a spare tire? Everyone I saw (at the dealer, had a depression but no tire.[*]Can you order the electronic 4-place climate control? The Internet says no, but what is the real story? We would like to ave the auto recirc feature.[*]Can you order Distronic? A like to have, especially if we keep the car for more than 3 years.[*]Do the ventilated seats work?[*]What adjustments are included with the Drive Dynamic seats?[*]And last but no least, Is it Bluetooth compatible either with a currently available setup or a future US setup? I know this is a hard question.[/list=1]

Thanks,

David

P.S.
We will probably order by Wednesday

Good questions. I don't have many answers, but I was NOT able to order 4-zone climate control with mine (05 CDI)

The drive dynamic seats have all the functions of the multicontour seats plus massage and, of course, the dynamic bolster adjustments to hold you in your seat when going around corners.

re: spare
Below the flat floor is a nearly-full-width tray with a depressed round insert above the spare, and below that are the spare and the battery.

MB tells me no to the electronic climate control, and wouldn't say anything useful about Bluetooth, other than they don't plan to have it for years.

When a chrysler can have it and far cheaper cars do too, this sort of complacent attitude from mBuSa just pisses me off.
