Sadly, my lease on my '16 is up in October, so I won't have the advantage of waiting for the 2020 model year to see if BMW NA reverses this rather odd decision.
Notice that 40i buyers will also miss out on the M-differential as well if there is no DHP.
Also, I might as well gripe about the MSport pricing as well. $5800 bucks for something that does nothing to enhance the sporting nature of the vehicle? How I miss the days of BMWs Sport and MSport packages actually offering performance enhancements instead of merely cosmetic add-ons and such.

This is why I'm really questioning if I want to continue leasing. I'd rather decide on my timeline if/when I want to upgrade rather than go through all the trouble to pick out the options I feel are must haves, search for the right car or have it ordered and then negotiate the price.
Add to that all the changes BMW has made to their leasing programs and it just seems like a roller coaster I don't think is worth riding.
