This sort of thing is becoming more and more common among manufacturers (not just the auto industry). Expect to see more of it, as sales volume is key to raising stock prices.
I was mildly annoyed as well; I've had my X5d, a 2011 ordered in fall 2010, for less than 3 months and 2,500 miles, and it will soon be a model year old. And unless the $3,500 EcoCredit goes away, I could have had a lot more equipment for the money.
But then I remembered that it is not my vehicle. It is a lease, so it is BMW's. If they want to destroy resale values of their own cars, it makes no difference to me.
