Getting the M3!

After a year I finally decided to get the M3. Is there any tips before I go to get the paperwork done? There are a few things I want to know though.

1. What is the latest software? And is there a way to check which software the car is running?

2. My car would be a 2013 model. Does it come with the LCI tail lights or do I have to buy them separately?
(If I do need to purchase them.. Where is the best place to get them)

Thanks guys.

You'd better hurry, E92 production ends in June and many dealers have no allocations remaining....
