It looks like the disc version has cyclocross gearing and cross-specific wheels. It's pretty different from the non-disc version.

but frame geometry is identical, standard compact 50-34 crank and 11-32t cogs, pretty standard road gearing. cross specific wheels sure, but minor

...while the version at the BMC site has a standard compact crank. It's helpful to know that there at least a couple of different versions of this bike out there. Maybe one is the 2013 and one is the 2014?

I've only seen the GF02 with a compact. I just checked BMC USA's inventory and they only show an option for a compact.

I've been drooling over the disc version at the LBS for a while. I haven't ridden it yet. If I do, I have a feeling it would follow me home.....and I would be in trouble.

I was looking at this bike myself. The GF02 disc version on sale at R&A has a cross-specific 46-36 crank, cross wheels and cross tires:
