Yes, lots of small updates on the FL2 - single piece foglight grilles for one, the introduction of the S-mode gearbox, and as far as I can tell the switch from Takata to TRW airbags although it sounds like there may be some overlap there. This is the change from Bosch ME7.1 to 7.1.1 which adds some software tweaks to how the secondary air and cam timing works plus close-coupled pre-cats to achieve Euro 4 for the A8

The FL2 S8 is actually still Euro 3 as it doesn't have the pre-cats (although does have ME7.1.1), but conveniently for those who might venture inside the M25, the way the DVLA registered the D2s means that the S8 is a sub-model of the A8 and therefore got classified as Euro 4 anyway
