How are you sure? What will your light weight pack entail? I've never heard of it, but haven't been checking in much so may be out of the loop.

I just don't think the LCI will come that soon, maybe 18 months but that wouldn't put me off as that would like saying well there will be an F100 out in 2020 . But again, if you have sources for 8 months please let me know as that would be a reason not to buy.

As regards comments from other posters re first year reliability, well the E90/92 M proved an excellent buy for first year adopters. People point out the issues of newly developed drivetrains but the vast majority are introduced without fault, for instance the twin turbo diesel that Europe got in 2005 was both groundbreaking and flawless. I think this model will be the same, but of course that's only a strongly weighted guess based on playing the percentages.
