I wonder if it's intentional on BMWs part. The people who will be going to the dealership, who aren't fanatics like us and frequent the message boards, may be none the wiser a 2020 model will be coming out soon and then sales people can get rid of their 2019 inventory a lot easier.
#BottomLineDrivesTheFacts - Agreed, it's still a shitty practice. MB has had the 2020 GLE on the configurator for over a month I think now - that's a redesign - you'd think their interests would be to purge all 2019's before making that an in-your-face availability.

Oh well, no matter to me, mines ordered!
