Doesn't look like the burled walnut will be coming back anytime soon so I will have to accept (and look at a sample of) the Matte anthracite wood.

The active cruise control and Driving Assistance Professional Package are of extreme interest to me, as the main reason to go for another one of these is the improved self driving capabilities over the F15. I looked, but was not able to find any significant information on what the difference between ZDB and ZDY is, apart from the addition of "5AR Extended Traffic Jam Assistant for limited access highways". Does anyone know, or know how I can find out? My dealer has been less than helpful..

Thanks!

EDIT: What I could gather regarding 5AR so far..

"5AR Extended Traffic Jam Assistant for limited access highways" is the only difference between the two packages. 5AR will let you be "hands-off" for an unlimited amount of time if you are below either 45mph or 37mph (I forget which) on certain interstate and highways in the US.

The standard Traffic Jam Assistant only lets you take your hands off the wheel for 45-60 seconds at time when under 37mph I believe.

So unless you spend a HUGE amount of time stuck in traffic on major freeways in the US and want to take your hands off the wheel, there isn't any difference between the 2 packages.

Also, 5DF (Active Cruise Control) is included in either of the Driving Assistance Packages (ACC w/Stop & Go). I believe it just becomes a stand alone option starting with Dec builds.
