Differences in early and late model R53?

I've read posts indicating that late model r53s have had numerous updates compared to their early model counterparts, is there a listing that is available, or does anyone know of the differences offhand?

The biggest difference is the gear ratio of the trans. The other differences are pretty minor, but there is a ton. Off the top of my head:
radio
rear camber adjustment
crank pulley
ECU software
door panels
dash layout/airbags
seats
