As the post above says: Changes to the M5 are minimal in regards to exterior updates. The LEDs are probably a MY14 option cost anyway, so if we really want them, I imagine we can retrofit for similar price.

All good, but the problem is that LED optics would be the
only thing that you can retrofit, and probably for a good $4000 price too.
Let's assume the next M5 comes in 2017. Its value with respect to resale and "new M5" will be divided in 2.
Buyers from 2012-2013 will enjoy 1 year of "Latest M5"
Buyers from 2013-2017: will enjoy 4 years of "Latest M5"
First year buyers turn out to be the biggest losers because of technical problems, highest price and only 1/5 years of knowing you have the "newest M5".
I wish everything would be retrofittable for a price.
