Differences between Euro E39 and NA E39

I have a 2000 E39 wagon and I would like to figure out the differences between the Euro release and the North American. I know the Euro came with rear fog lights and probably a full tool kit, but other than that I am not sure, any help would be great, thanks!

I know for sure that brake rotors/discs are different. This happened to me when I purchased a brake kit from ebay. My car is a euro spec E39 520i and the US spec rotors were different. The brake pads were OK though...

I can add a couple of details- the center arm rest on Euro models does not have the black plastic insert in the center- it's completely covered in vinyl or leather, and it opens to reveal a storage box. There's also the Euro folding warning triangle, which fits in the tool kit box.
