andrewc89 and Nezil do a great job explaining the differences. If that is worth a 20% savings (and $8K is significant on a $55K car) then you have your answer.

I will also say... deals on the 18s are going to be easier to get very shortly.

I don't think exec package would affect if you can retro fit them or not. Should just be plug and play. Maybe some coding.

Problem is they're super expensive to buy new and they're too new to find on the second hand market.

The LCI tail lights are surprisingly affordable though. I bought mine for like $500.
I just meant could I code a MY17 to have the behavior they have in Europe where the lights move around more. The dazzle (anti dazzle?) light behavior?

No. US cars lack the correct hardware components:

I thought BMW CPO now included 5 year warranty coverage with upgrades up to 7 years / unlimited miles. This could be a game-changer for some people and a factor in considering this 2016.

If budget is not an issue, and all options are equal I would lean towards the 18.

On one hand you get the 18 LCI goodies, including new i drive. I'm ok with a 17 or 18, but not a 16 due to 1st year production plus the smaller i drive screen. YMMV.

From a financial perspective: I would estimate these cars depreciate about 12% annual for the first 3 years. So while you pay more up front for the 18, you will get more money back when you sell. 2 model years old would be about an 8k difference. Keep in mind the longer you keep the car the smaller the gap becomes.

Plus who knows what has been done to the used one - break in, alignment needs, etc.

I'm in a similar position but a 17 vs. 18. I'm really torn. About a $4k difference plus a 6 week wait. Add the 17 has MPE on it, that could be a $6k spread. As I tend to flip cars frequently, I'm leaning towards the 17. But ask me tomorrow and I will want the 18. LOL. First world problem.
I flip-flop daily...could be hourly if I really tracked it. They've come down another $1500 on the 2016.

I have nothing, but time so waiting isn't an issue. Just wanting to make sure I'm making a sound decision. I also understand that people's circumstances are different.

Really appreciate the conversation. This is exactly what I was after.

Thank you all

Right. It's 4-years B-2-B + 1 CPO year.
