Buyer beware.
A few short months after I collected my M5, some guy asked in this forum about the LCI M5. I thought he was an idiot to be asking about LCI when the car just started shipping. Turns out, i was the idiot. M cars really do ship just before the LCI is introduced to the series cars. Lesson learnt. I will not be considering buying the next M car at least until a year and a half later...
This is just nothing new to BMW. They have always done it. Not sure why anyone is at all surprised or upset. Most car manufacturers do it. Was considering a Porsche recently and asked the question about when the mid model update would be and they gave me an estimated time frame. It is marketing at its finest. I bought a 2013 pre-lci and upgrading to 2014 M6. You have to either know or do research before purchasing if you are unfamiliar with the brand.
