FYI, you also get a glass Start/Stop Button, Volume knob, and top of the iDrive controller (touch-pad interface still works on the glass too!). Also the X inside the gear knob lights up with the ambient lighting.
I have heard in one of the Youtube reviews that this is not crystal just glass, and the curves hurt a little bit the palm each time you touch the knob...
