BMW Model Upgrades and New Diesel Engines from Spring 2014

jphughan · 01-23-2014, 09:33 AM

I knew the US didn't get Business nav because we instead got Professional nav (top-end spec), but what's this I'm reading about a 16.5" display? I'm thinking that's a typo because the Business unit has a 6.5" display, compared to 8.8" for Professional. I mean the monstrous display in the Tesla Model S is 17", so BMW would need to have a pretty serious interior overhaul coming to fit a 16.5" unit -- and that would be for their lower-end nav? Nah.

Also it's talking about 330d being added to the 3 GT, USA doesn't even have the 330d in saloon or touring yet!

And it is quoting figures in Km & ltr/km

So i am pretty sure this bulletin is not for the USA market, just Euro/UK sorry!

What colour is the coupe on the main page, please?

Looks like Sepang Bronze, maybe it's making a comeback?

Why not a 330d sedan. I would love that or even 335d

Efthreeoh · 01-24-2014, 06:44 AM

And I was hoping for the return of the naturally aspirated in-line 6, or at least a manual transmission'd diesel in the US. Oh well....

Yes your right I have individual TPMS on my MY2012 F30 June Build.

CODING IS GREATNESS

I love the feature.

Could someone please put a date to "spring"?

RIOBLAST · 01-26-2014, 03:38 PM

Is it spring yet? Don't see any 330d GT in the configurator.

It sounds as if most of the new variations listed are for the euro market. It'd be nice though to get more diesel options to the US, though.
