I don't think the updates apply to USA do they?

USA already has tire pressure monitors. And Business nav isn't available in USA!?

I thought the new TPM revealed the actual pressure. My 2009 just shows Red, Yellow, or Green.

No X3 diesel for the US? Bummer.

It is ridiculous to not have actual pressure readings when it can be coded on all F cars as previously documented in this post.
We should not be "coding" our cars when BMW can simply "unlock" this utility!
Sad, it is there but you can not use it
:-)

+1. BMW should not even announce this. It is embarrassing...

so yes not very clear from this release that the M3/M4 is included this year "During the course of 2014, they will also be introduced to the BMW 1 Series, the BMW 2 Series and the BMW 5 Series and will then be available for all models except for the BMW X6." I guess depends on what exactly "will then" implies. That would be a major fail though. That is a significant improvement in Tech performance to leave that out for us.

Dunno why they are going to sell the 225d with an auto only but the 125d is available with a manual gearbox. Strange.

Did I get it right that the M Sport exhaust will be standard on all 650i's even without the M Sport package?

The US doesn't get the iDrive Business. This thing is Europe/Asia only.

GreekboyD · 01-22-2014, 05:48 PM

So how many of these diesels will actually make it to North America?

Zayken · 01-22-2014, 05:53 PM

Apart from the X6 I think that the new Navi pro will NOT be available also for the BMW X1 .

I need to know if there was a mistake in the initial article or not or not because i just ordered one , my dealer is pushing the process for a February production and if so i will tell him to place it for whatever month "spring" stands for

The USA i3 will have the Business Navigation standard.

jtodd · 01-22-2014, 06:31 PM

Does anyone think the f30 will go through an lci upgrade for the 2015 model?

Technic · 01-22-2014, 06:37 PM

Dealers don't code.

Contact forum vendor Bimmertech for remote coding details and pricing.

MY2016.

teaston · 01-22-2014, 07:07 PM

Maybe different in US, but in UK & Europe afaik no other manufacturer has TPMS!

The F15 X5 has these, finally! These have been available or standard on lots of vehicles for many years.

I haven't looked at the visors on new BMWs, but I hope they've done away with the horrible vinyl ones. I've had many a rental car that use a nicer material!

I hear you Quasi. I think there is more optimism than ever though as we now have more diesels from Audi, Porsche, Chevy in North America with Mazda just around the corner.

Yep. Says a maximum of 600nM which translates to about 442 ft/lbs.

amdmaxx · 01-22-2014, 10:28 PM

335d without x drive would be awesome to see in USA. 313hp, 440 torque.

Enjoi · 01-22-2014, 11:25 PM

Diesel Bmw >>

These announcements are for the Germans. You have to be an idiot, to think Germany would sell us Americans the same cars as they get to drive...
