The news just posted on the Bimmerpost homepage here http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=937898" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://www.f30post.c...p?t=937898</a>" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://<a href="http...937898</a></a> has indicated that EBT will be standard on the Business Nav! Also faster processor, higher res 3D maps, 3G and RTTI!
Also says all cars except X6 will have tyre pressure monitors. Quote: High-speed graphics, additional functions: The new generation of the navigation system Business and the radio Professional. With enhanced functions and optimised performance, the latest generation of the radio Professional and the navigation system Business is raising comfort and driving pleasure to an even higher level. Both newly revised options will be introduced in the spring of 2014. 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. Both systems have a new control unit with boosted computing performance. Thus, for example, Bluetooth audio streaming will be available in the vehicle with the integration of mobile devices as well as additional BMW ConnectedDrive services. The most significant innovation to the navigation system Business are the graphic images which now generate 10 times faster than before on the 16.5-inch control display. High-resolution maps, which now have 3D elements and animations, and an increased speed when calculating routes characterise the advancement made possible by the optimisation of the control unit technology. In conjunction with the ConnectedDrive Services option, the navigation system Business can be used in future for the Concierge Services, Real Time Traffic Information and Remote Services. In order to establish the necessary online connections in an optimum manner, the new system uses the 3G standard for mobile telephone networks. The question is from what build date will this come in!? Mine hasn't been built yet, but is estimated delivery for March 21st, so surely all 14 reg cars will have it! Pleeeeease! EDIT: So it now appears from what DrSteve has been told from the tech guy at his dealership that it is not in fact complete EBT that will be added, but just the Bluetooth Streaming (A2DP). Although quite possibly all the hardware for the other functions will be there (inbuilt combox in head unit) so quite likely it will be possible to code them in! Another Edit: It has now been confirmed by badders74 that business media now has full EBT and voice control. This applies definitely from week 10 builds (3rd March) and probably as early as 28th February. Also i have now found that all September 2013 onwards have the Combox in the boot so full EBT is codable (but no full voice control without a $550 FSC code, although basic voice control is possible) Last edited by teaston; 02-11-2014 at 05:17 AM.. |

I 've just emailed my lease company to ask exactly that question!
I have also been told from a reliable source (TRL/Tony) that there is a global shortage of new 330d's being built so hopefully that delays things more if need be! I also hope that if you ordered the bus nav at £990 it doesn't mean you definitely get the old version!? |

@teaston:
It's touch and go for you. How annoying and worrying. One of our 330ds came with the old Nav and the other with the new Nav (mine). Only 10 days between them!

Oh so NBT came in mid reg, i didn't know that!
So that could confirm what @GaryUFM says about starting March 10th, which would mean some 14 plates will not have it! Bugger! It's going to be a bit squeaky bum time for me then! |

Having said that, the bulletins did clearly say that there would be 3 tier Nav options as now, so maybe they've not finished updating the site and added the Biz back in? *crosses fingers* |

Anyway, car companies are always updating their cars. Win a few, lose a few. I seem to remember that once the order has gone through, even before the car is locked, nothing can be moved/changed. PITA.

Surely they don't make some with the new equipment, then some with the old equipment etc.? Also maybe the reason that the fleet company who's supplying my car has delayed, is so that all their cars have the new nav? Maybe they knew about it a while back and thought it would improve the residuels? |

You need to get the lease company to swap your car with someone else's just to make sure. They can tell the other person that their car will arrive a bit earlier which I am sure will make them very happy. But if that other person also has this information, he/she would be asking for the same delay!!!!! Best of luck.

So why should one order the Pro Nav when the Business Nav has now got a nice big screen?

Yes pro nav does have those features, but now so will bus nav! I'm betting it will be exact same system as prof (NBT) but just with smaller screen and no hard drive for music or touch controller or split screen or voice control. |
