When are the 2016's going to be ordered / built ?

Looking at used 2015's now but may wait for the 16's.
Any idea of what will change ?
A salesman told me the lights might change to the "lasers" standard but don't know if that will up the price.

Based on this, aside from the lights, doesn't look like much will change at all...

Start of production will be July 2015, so figure first MY2016 cars will get here around September 2015.

US will not get Laser lights for sure, they are not DOT legal. Laser lights is most likely not to make it on the F8X at all anyhow. We might see the OLED taillights though...

I hope you're right.
- I expect tails to change to LED, but is there a chance they could change the boot lid to CF (with the same chines as the CF roof) and the shape of the lens to match the M4?
- Will they sort out the CF roof rack issue?
- Minor trim details on the interior anticipated (like chrome accents)
- Maybe a minor upgrade to iDrive?
- Increase in the number of exterior and interior Individual colour options.

I was hoping to get an ED for mid/late August for 2016 M3. Perhaps a chance, but not sure how to go about being one of the first on the books.

Out of the ones you listed here are the likely ones........

- Tails to change to LED
- Maybe a minor upgrade to iDrive?
- Increase in the number of exterior color options.

and probably fix some of major bugs on the 15 model....like the drive-shaft noise issue, etc.

Cheers,
So probably not worth waiting for '16 F80. They gave it a new product number so I though more changes were in the pipeline. Guess that's normal.
Thanks for the info... and when are you doing ED? Late 2015 or next year?

Please don't quote me on this. Just making an educated guess based on info on the net Could be more or could be less changes. Who knows?

I never buy the 1st year model so planning on a 2016 ED as soon as it's available. Thinking Sept 2015 ED for a 2016. Have my build figured out and don't plan on changing unless something new is offered like a A La carte on the rear view camera

Since I want to order as soon as possible, I hope I'll be able to order in March, but I'm afraid it won't be possible before April. When do they usually introduce the LCI with production start July? I think it used to be in March/April, but no sure when exactly.

Looks like a great build... especially like the MT!! Your car should be light.
Also looks like we have a similar plan for production and ED. Hope it works out for you.

On a similar time frame but best I can do is late July/Early August. Doubt I will be able to get a 2016 at this point. Don't care anymore either. I'll most likely lease, so the expected changes won't matter much, and I don't get hurt with resale issues.

Based on your other post about being in the market for an M4 (rather than an M3), you can be absolutely assured that there will be no lighting changes or any other exterior changes for the MY2016 model.

Please see this thread for 2016 model dates:

http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1082153

And this thread for speculation about what might changes might come to the 3 Series and M3 LCI and how that could impact the 4 Series and M4:
