The press releases talking about 840d and M850i are global releases, everywhere is getting those 2 engines at the moment. I have no idea why 840i wasn't launched at the same time, perhaps they want to have the car be considered as a US$130k car first, then launch a cheaper one after the first few busy months of sales drop off.

afaik 840i will be a worldwide spec too
