I see the F40 1 series has an update as of week 27. Very minor for the m135i with door card finish changing from cloth to sensatec etc.

One change is the hi beam assistant now becoming standard across all cars but not active until you purchase it.

There seems no external differences listed but does the hi beam use a different headlight therefore the front now looks different ?

They are also raising the prices depending on engine by £530 - £700.

Just to add to the above after a quick google:
"No major news, on the M135i the blue cloth sections on the doors now become black sensatec with blue stitching and drivers seat back are being replaced with simulated black leather.

Sport models now gain Android Auto or Apple CP for lifetime incl.

All cars will come pre-wired for Hi Beam Assistant, which can then be purchased via the connected drive App.
So your new car will come with a button that then needs coding in to work."

The bottom bit would imply that all the parts are actually the same it is just cheaper for BMW to put all the bits on even if they don't work due to coding.

I think BMW announced that some features could be enabled by owners after purchase: https://www.carscoops.com/2019/11/bmw-will-let-you...
