Don't forget the global site has info that is NOT universally true in all markets. The obvious example is the F31 Touring. It's on the ground on pretty much ever continent but North America. It's anybody's guess why the products/updates aren't released concurrently. I'd guess it's primarily due to production capacity and anticipated take rates. Without a doubt the 328i will be king here in the US, so that would obviously be their focus at launch. From there, the xDrives and then finally the Touring, Coupe and Convertible.

There's little motivation to provide tech updates in a brand new platform. I'm sure it's not affecting sales...
