Trim
Trim
Bumper
Bracing Package (I have no idea what this means)
Color
On a positive note, this should be really easy to upgrade / rebadge for your standard X4.

So you look at one of the ads and ignore the others?
Although the S58 may be a derivative of the B58 it is not the same engine. Nor are the transmission, exhaust, wheels, seats, steering wheel, quarter panels, bumpers, mirrors etc. etc. the same.
Not to mention the price jump from a loaded M40i is not that much compared to say a loaded M340i and a loaded M3 so you get a lot more for your money.
