Questions about German option codes

I found a car that seems interesting. I managed to get a pdf copy of the internal description from the selling dealer in Germany. But some of the options codes are unclear to me. Do we have a decoder/translator available anywhere?
For example!
S3APA Graukeil-Frontscheibe which they translate to "windshield with grey corner" which seems just plain silly.
S522A Xenon-Licht - I wonder if that is both high and low beams?
Any help most welcome

Can't help with the first one, but it sounds like the screen with a grey strip across the top.
E70's only have one light each side. The inner one is a fake projector so yes you have Bi-xenon lighting, dip & main.

Thanks for that bit, it helps. Reading further, I see that the car has these also
S855A Sprachversion Italienisch, Italian language version
S884A Italienisch /Bordliteratur, owner manual in Italian
This suggests to me that the car was not originally delivered in Deutschland, but rather in Italy. I have been to Rome on business several times, and based on the driving I saw I would rather not buy a used car from Italy. Hmmm.

You mean the red line on the rev counter is more of a fashion statement than a warning line.

Gives you the codes for your car and then a rough English translation.
