Side query.
Let's say there is an announcement for ZCP in March 2016 (or any other time "early" in the year). Would BMW typically also make minor changes to the other packages/options for the existing MY2016 model? Or just add ZCP to list and that's it? Thanks! |

Note that what comes standard, "packages" and offered options are defined by the local BMW distribution (BMW USA in your case).

Yea generally as the Model ages more items that were initially sold as options/packages are included as standard. At least that is what I have always observed. While BMW USA (in case of USA) may make these determinations, probably someone in Germany has to give the thumbs up I'd imagine. Regardless, one benefit of waiting a few years for a new model is that you will invariably get more for your money in terms of options and packages. Many will be included as standard, and the packages you do pay for will be more robust and include more.

Maybe the 4er/M3/M4 full LED lights are more sophisticated/better than the ones you can get as an $800 option on the LCI 3er? |

Anyway, I get it. It is just speculation at the moment. I guess it is just a game of wait and see. Thanks! |

The only possible thing they could include in the competition package that would make me want to upgrade is the water injection system.

I want to say the LCI 3er probably has a better LED system vs the F8X, by it being a new design and the idea of it baking in the oven longer. Why one is 1900 vs 800 is probably due to packaging and production. |

There's no way the M4/4 series LCI is getting laser lights. They just announced laser for the i8 in the US not too long ago, it then has to trickle down to the 7, 6/5, and then the 4/3.

Also the 6/5 are soon to be replaced with a new model, which I would think will be announced before the production change in July for the 2017s. However, I doubt we will get the new 5/6s till 2017 here in the US as an 18. No reason the LCI 4 couldn't be upgraded, I wouldn't be shocked if OLED tails and Lasers for the front. With the M3 only getting Lasers, same front ends and spread the development costs across volume. |

Price wise it isn't a good choice for BMW to do it. Unless the cost goes down on the construction on the headlights, it's more of a novelty then anything.
