Going to England - Can I get anything special for the car?

I am going to England soon (first time ever) and I was wondering if there was anything there that I can get for my car that I can not get here in the US. I know... global commerce and all with the internet... but I was wondering if any of you guys know if there is something that I should take advantage of or check out. Like I said, I have never been there, so who knows if I will ever be going back. I just want to make sure I do not miss out on an opportunity.

Any thoughts?

European rear tail lights with amber turn signals! I put them on my '10 335d and they are so much easier to see. I have no idea why US spec cars don't get amber ones.

If you mean the MT shifter, it is the same as the one used here.

Any thoughts?
Consider the euro rear fog light switch and possibly aspherical rear view mirrors. You may also want a tool kit without parts deleted from it, and a fitted medical kit. As it is your first, be sure to go to a pub and have a pint of warm beer.

Where did you get them? I'd like to buy a set.
