Sorry to say, BMW is not going to do anything for you. The Sport Edition price cut was real shocker- I have been thinking of ordering a 650 coupe for a year now, but glad I waited.

You remind me of people saying they just bought some tech stocks and a month later, their stocks are down and there are new and better stocks IPO at around the same price

Sorry dude. Yes I have been in your position, too. But tough. Think of that small difference that you paid so that you can enjoy your car early. And go enjoy the car!

I have a 2012 650 and your car is so much more advanced than mine in just two years, I'm SOL and guess what, so are you. if you can get the dealer to compensate you in any way, please share it with the rest of us we'd love to hear your story.

Why would they tell you? BMW and the dealer made a extra $8000 in profit.

Exactly, their job is to make money, your job is to be an informed consumer but you just made a very expensive purchase and its best to enjoy it and don't fret about things you can't change life's too short.

BMW's strategy seems pretty $hitty since they have a habit of making their six figure car customers feel screwed. The '12 to '13 changes (announced 2 months after taking delivery of my car) were even greater than the M Sport Edition, and BMW has given us the "you're SOL - but enjoy your car" line.

I hate to give you the same line, but it's really the only option - other than letting BMW's questionable business ethics taint your experience with a very fine car. I guess the days are behind us where $100,000+ buys more than just the car.

This isn't just BMW, and it doesn't just affect cars. Whether we're talking cars, bicycles, computers or potato chips, something new is always around the corner.

When I got my 335, there were complaints from those who bought a 330 just before the turbo came out. Right now, I'm looking at 911's and people on the Porsche forums are complaining because they got a manual right before the automated throttle blip was introduced.

If you buy new, you have to expect something better will be out next year. If that drives you crazy, try to find a used car that's only a couple of years old. At least that way, you already know what came next.

OP. Sorry to hear that. I was going to order 14 GC last May for european delivery on June. M sport edition was announced on May. I cancelled my order and placed new order today for September ED. I am leasing the car. I save less than $100 a month due to worse residual value.

I feel this way every time I buy something new from Apple. A month later, the marketing folks at Apple will make me regret my purchase as something better comes up.

I've been GC shopping for a few months now and what I found is not that they didn't want to tell you. ALL the dealers I talked to had no idea that the M sport edition was coming out. Even the dealer I visited yesterday had a pre July build 650 and a M sport edition on the lot and they still didnt know that they were different until I pointed out the difference.

And there was almost no Internet fodder about the M-sport either.

But it' one thing to be a $500 Ipad or Iphone - a $90,000 car is in a different league.

I understand the price difference. My point is, just be happy with what you drive today and don't regret your purchase (what's done is done). There will always be the nicer and newer things the next season (it's marketing and product evolution), you'll go broke trying to keep up with the latest and greatest goodies.

And only forum people really notice the difference anyhow. Ask a random person on the street about m-sport vs. classic BMW bumpers and enjoy the glazed over stares.
