Is this just opinion, or are you going to back up that statement with something the rest of us can buy into?
MadViper commented that he got the flyer from his BMW dealer (and I see no reason to assume that he made that up) and that, apparently, it comes from Mexico:

This info comes from a dealer in LATAM [Latin America] and Mexico is the country that send this info to my dealer. I know the product update is very unprofessional but that's what I got from my dealer. Time will tell if the info on the bulletin is real or not. As far as I know this is the first piece of evidence that suggest the red stitching on the interior and the red brake calipers instead of the gray.
Throttleblip is located in Latin America, so may have seen this flyer surfacing too.
