What I did was prepare an excel table and move all data into it. Since the description of the options is either in german or not very complete, I used the list of options codes in Renntech and copy their description into my table,

There are several options/description which I don't understand. Your input will be greatly appreciated:

MNR Type Description
162 C Exhaust concept LEV 2
183 F Super hot country
199 T Battery disconnection switch (where is it?, why is it needed?)
434 C WORK DIRECTIVE F.UEBERSEE-FAHRZG
440 T Antenna diversity
484 C Version for USA (version of what?)
553 C Version for USA, Canada (version of what?)
590 T Steel doors (aren't they all made of steel?)
663 T Fuel pump control
664 C ORVR
708 T 9X7 FL (STEUERUNGS-MNR. F. ABT. PME)
760 V V WITHOUT VTS (FVS)
912 C without ID plate
