Looking at picking up one used and was curious...pretty certain they are but want to verify with the experts.

On a second note, BMC SLR01 or Evo Himod? :D

By "newer", do you mean the 2016 model? Or older? The older ones are always either for di2 or mechanical - not both. Don't know about the new model.

Pretty sure that the 2016 frames are compatible with both Di2 and mechanical shifting (a Y-piece cable stop mounts to the underside of the down tube for mechanical shifting).

I own one, and yes they are compatible. For 2016 however, they feature two different derailleur hangers. One is specific for routing mechanical, the other di2. You could always drill out your mechanical and call it a di2 one... but that's up to you. :)

2016 Hi Mod frames can do both mechanical and electronic.

2016 non-Hi Mod frames, I believe are still specifically mechanical or electronic

Prior to 2016, all were specific to mechanical or electronic, though I guess you could use external wiring to put electronic on a mechanical frame.
