Coming from the E9X M3 world, I'm aware perhaps some options were bundled together, and maybe features were added to the Navigation like BMW apps...

I'm also aware of that the LED halos were implemented in 2012, but are there any other differences?
For the most part it was LED halos and equipment/package configurations. Note that some 2011 X35d's (late 2011 builds) did come with the LED halos. If the build date is 4/11 or later it should have the LED's. Starting 4/11 the gas models were all 2012 model years, but 2011 model year diesels were built into the summer of 2011.

Check this link for specific equipment and package changes for 2012. There's a specific section for the X35d just below the 35i & 50i, though I think a lot of the changes were the same regardless of engine.
