The ones without that option come with the "standard" instrument cluster. BMW NA's site mentions it clearly on the F10 configurator where it is part of Driver Assistance Package and on the F30 it is part of the Technology Package.

To go yet a bit further, option 6WB is the full LCD instrument cluster available here in USA on the LCI 7 Series and on the M Sport Edition 6 Series and by the way some guys have retrofitted the full LCD cluster to the F10, so very likely that it is possible to retrofit to the F15 too
Do you know what differentiates the two other than the Lane Departure warning part and the 3D effects? I'm curious if this is a mainly cosmetic thing or if there are other 'extended' display options not available with the standard cluster. Odd that the F15 order guide makes no mention of this "Extended" cluster ...
