US and EU differences?

Any hardware or coding differences a US driver should know about? Coding my i3 made it nicer, so I am curious to hear what people are doing with these cars.

Yes. Euro LED coding makes a huge difference as the dynamic high beam (anti-dazzle) is not approved by US DOT. I would code that.

I tried coding Euro brake force flashing and rear fogs, it doesn't work. I haven't looked into Euro MDM, not sure if it's possible for this platform.
