I picked up my new 2013 335i last week and it doesn't seem to have the new system. I had the car built and put the order in only 2 months ago (March 15). Does anyone know if there's a way to upgrade? What's the official version number of the new system, so I can inform my dealer?

You missed nothing. The option is 609 Professional Navigation. It's just BMW decides in their infinite wisdom which chassis by country gets the new NBT iDrive system and beginning with what model year and production date. Your build didn't meet their criteria.

If one retrofits a factory NBT in place of a factory CiC why would one have to remove it Everytime the car goes in for programming. Can BMW not acknowledge upgrade and act accordingly? If not, is there a technical reason?

ISTA/P will reject it, as when it goes to program the car it will looK for the factory original CIC and won't find it, and it will stop and say replace CIC module.

I don't know if it is technically possible or not, but it's a moot point because even if it was possible, BMW will never allow it, as it is an unofficial retofit and they will not support it.

The NBT is not worth several thousand dollars over the CIC based system in the 2013 (USA) nav system. It IS nicer, no doubt, as its MUCH faster, however its not worth several thousand k. |

It means nothing at all. 609 Nav Pro can be delivered with either CIC or NBT.

You are correct, I just reread the thread a little further I was confused by some of the posts with US individuals having NBT but when reading further I see that they have the AH3.

Just ordered a 335i MSport in Perth, Western Australia this morning. Talked to the dealer manager about the MY14 rumours I'd seen here and he'd JUST (yesterday, IIRC) received a bulletin from BMW on this. Supposedly, in Australia, the MY14 run will commence in August this year and will include iDrive Touch features, upgraded Nav 'from the 7 series' as well as a few other items.
I've delayed my build to August, accordingly :-) FWIW!

The difference between 2013 and 2014 in the US is the 2014 3 series will come with the NBT, and also have the touch wheel (which I dont see being very useful actually). |

if your buying then I would definitely wait until 2014. New nav and you get a newer year car for resale purposes. If your leasing, you can get a better deal at the end of the model year and I would do it now and get the new nav with the body style adjustments on your next lease

Based on when I was looking last year in Oct the best I could get was $1500 over invoice and the incentives seemed to suck though maybe I missed a window of really good incentives and deals? The new NAV does look better and I would like to have it but it isn't a deal breaker honestly. |

I could really care less about the new software features, the only thing that gets me down is the faster hardware. Either way, it's still gets you from point A to point B.
The way I look at it, cars are only temporary, in 5-6 years you are going to have a new one (maybe sooner, maybe longer) and it will have better stuff in it too. If I had the option to wait, I would, but right now I'm without a car and this really isn't a reason to stay a couple more months without a car or waste money renting another in addition to paying higher prices on the next model. |
