The laws of supply and demand. The 20" 469M option was constrained, holding up deliveries (and sales numbers). BMW offered the alternate 20" option free to appease buyers who wanted that size and to get cars out the door faster. At a loss, mind you. After all, who wouldn't turn down a free upgrade?
The 469 is no longer constrained and BMW feels content in now charging for the optional upgrade.
