Is there a way to tell a non + model from a + model from the external features?

I don't know of any with the OT models, but there are a couple differences I notice with the Prem and Lux models. The Prem does not have foglights, the Prem+ does. The Prem also has black edged running boards and the Prem+ has silver/chrome for some reason. The Lux+ has retractable running boards, the Lux does not. I think the Lux+ is the only trim that comes standard with the panorama non-opening roof as well.

The 2024 OTs had matte black lower window cowls, while the OT+ had gloss black. However, both models have gloss black cowls for 2025.

Not strictly external feature as OP requested, but OT+ has rear door window shades. Even if they are not up, you can see the slot where they retract into right behind the glass.

This is true.

If you see a Lux, it's a Lux+ it if has a Dynamic Sky roof, and a Lux (no plus) if it has a regular sized moon roof. There is no option to delete either roof, they are standard and not-optionable (I learned that on here, thanks.). The regular sized moon roof opens, the Dynamic Sky roof does not open but it does change from opaque to clear.

I've been looking at the wheels to try to tell the difference in Prem and Prem+. The difference is in the finish, the MY2025 brochure shows this very clearly. In actual use, I always look when I'm driving and the other 550 is coming at me in the opposite direction, so only a split second or two to look. It's a bit of a challenge to process it all in such a short time.

A lot of people on here install after market wheels but that is almost always on OT models, I haven't seen it mentioned on Prem models. That's one reason you see a lot of OT wheels for sale on here.

You can tell the OT vs OT+ by the little rubber nub on the drivers A pillar frame:

Also if you look between the front door and fender and the front and rear doors you’ll notice weather stripping that the non plus models don’t get. Last cue is the b pillars are gloss on the OT+ vs matte on the regular OT.

That’s gonna be it visually from the exterior.

And the buyers of OT wheel/tire packages are 3rd row seating trim owners like myself!

Yes, same rims, different finish. I powder coated mine triple bronze and it changed the entire look of the rims/car from that terrible dual finish look.
