This is exactly what I'm thinking in reading this thread. Dont get me wrong I totally get why they'd be upset when this happened, I would be too. And it does seem like BMW is representing the lighting as being more complete, but I'd be shocked if BMW doesn't reserve the right to get away with these kinds of changes. All sorts of features are changed year-to-year(usually for cost-cutting as you said). I just have the feeling that, somewhere, in all the literature, BMW has carved out exceptions for this kind of stuff. Definitely worth a solid complaint at the dealer and whoever you can get ahold of, but don't expect them to change the manufacturing process let alone feel obligated to refund you.
At first I honestly thought that maybe OP's car was just an accident in manufacturing, sounds like this is the new normal though. You can have more colors, but only half the lighting haha.
I'm interested in hearing the response from the dealer though, do keep us posted OP.
