As I understand it..I've not had this verified, but my common sense reading of the ordering guide says:
ZDY Driving Assistance Professional Package ($1,200) includes 5AU Active Driving Assistant Pro and 5AR Extended Traffic Jam Assistant for limited access highways. ZDB Driving Assistance Plus Package ($1,200) includes only 5AU.
Looking at the EOP and SOP dates, I infer that all builds through November will get ZDB and those thereafter will get ZDY. Same price. Only difference is that BMW is adding 5AR beginning in December.
Whether or not you want to shift your slot to a later date becomes a question of how much you'll value/use 5AR. According to the ordering guide, 5AU includes Traffic Jam Assistant, presumably just not for "limited access highways."

Yes - thanks for confirming my original post, that is also how I understood the options and timing.
I'm going to call BMWNA and figure out what 5AR is all about. More to report soon. Let me know how you like your X5 when you get it. Looks like a great refresh of an already awesome vehicle.
