Lightbulb Facelift for F30 - what to expect?

Judging on the E90 facelift and perhaps the recent facelift for the F10 5 series saloon what can we expect please?

Probably arrives August / September 2015 as the E90 was released in March (2005) and facelift was September (2008). F30 was released February (2012) so August / September (2015) seems reasonable?

Big change is the engines, 328i becomes 330i and so on. Better equipment levels in the face of the new c class and some minor cosmetic tweeks.

Big change to the engine badging, but a big change to the engines themselves? Are they just being re-badged?

LCI normally brings a power increase too. So perhaps the 258hp 330d will become.....Oh...I don't know.......285hp???

I think some engines are changing and others not for the time being.

Rear Lights LED, minor bumper changes all around, perhaps small spec increment FOC, enginer badges revised.

I'd love to see a "climate seats" option. Love my heated seats, but in warm weather to have a cooled seat would be great. An option in a Passat for climate seats, so shoule be in a 3 series.

Big changes to the four cylinder petrol engines.
BMW introduce the new 500 cc per cylinder architecture.
First seen on the mini Cooper 1.5 litre tripple.
330i is 4 cylinder 2 litre with 270 bhp.
