I suppose we won't know for absolute certain that the new engines aren't there until the vehicles arrive at dealerships. It's not looking good at this point.



Yes, although as you say, that is not very common.
In general BMW seems pretty poor at managing incremental updates to models... it seems the Launch-LCI-EOP rinse/repeat is so ingrained in them they lose all ability to communicate or logically manage what content gets added when acting outside that framework
