If you want to be an early adopter or what I call BETA user then you have to understand that there is a high probability you'll face issues with the build and miss out on desirable late release packages.
You keep repeating that as if its cast in stone It’s not. My experience has been the opposite. By buying the first out of the box you have a “new” model for the length of that model. My 2014 X5 has been nothing but reliable and looks exactly like a 2018 model. Same for my 2011 535i which I picked up in Munich in 2010. Bmw doesn’t push out some half baked bug ridden beta contraption....and accents usually cost less to add than the increase in cost in subsequent years of the vehicle itself ...penny wise and pound foolish to wait for those things.
