For instance, BMW decodes the built in rear fogs for US spec cars but Audi freely keeps that option on all they US vehicles. Reason is the potential liability one is willing to expose over the other.

If you every notice also, BMW turn signals on all US spec vehicles are red but the rest of the world it's amber for the same exact vehicle.

I know it sounds like a apples to oranges comparison to your Sport+ memory question but my point being is that it all stems from how conservative a manufacture chooses to be.
