No market gets the new touchpad controller. Not even the MY13 5 or 7 series has it. The touchpad controller is still in development.

Evidence now proves that BMW NA is not taking the new Nav Pro (as it exists in the MY13 5 and 7 series) in the F30 cars at least during calendar year 2012. After Jan 1 they could offer it or they may hold off until MY14. Its anyone's guess at this point.

NA is applying their marketing and politics to this situation and not offering a product that BMW AG is making available otherwise. Will be interesting to see which markets take the new Nav Pro beginning November production.

If you want the new Nav Pro in a US destined 3 series your only current option is the AH3. When the wagon appears in US, then that will be another option. The F30 sedan is unknown until the politicians in NJ make up their mind.
