A lot of you guys aren't getting it and it has been said before by a few members. The M5 is only 8 months old in NORTH AMERICA!!! Every where else in the world, this car has been out for about a year and a half. And anyways, the actual F10 is 3 years old so when BMW does a facelift of a series production model, they also do it for the M series of that model even though the M series models come out at least a year after the same series model does. And like someone else said, these changes take progress and time. Even though they may seem simple programming changes to you, as a research engineer I know how long R&D takes even on really simple changes. BMW cannot afford to introduce a half assed product into the market.
So don't be pissed off, rather be glad that BMW has realized their mistake with the M5 and have fixed it. And for the current owners, enjoy your exclusivity and then upgrade to the LCI w/ comp pack in two years when the rates have gone lower.

PS. I think those comp pack wheels are hideous! They make these cars look like rice cars
