Well, the answer was staring me in the face. I need to get another 5 series.
If I change my colour from MW to Jet Black, and lose the folding rear seats (which I only ticked because the F30 is smaller) I can spec up a very similar F10 for similar money. Only downside is that the 520d SE has full leather and I have a slight preference for cloth\ leather. Unlike the F30 modern line, I get to choose the interior colour though. I fancy oyster\ black with anthracite wood trim. It is slightly slower and has an extra 1% BIK but I can live with that. The F30 looks nicer too. And I get the new updated navigation system - something that is important to me.

In the UK, the F10 is a bit of a bargain - a 520d SE auto is close in price to a 320d Modern auto, with the spec being very similar. By dropping the metallic paint and through loading options I had ticked on the F30, it starts to become attractive. And I will get the updated 609 now, which is important to me. My preference would be to have a 320d xdrive with the updated 609 option but my lease means I have to change in August (it's a company car). Sorry for the long answer to a simple question!

Besides the touchwheel on the physical iDrive controller, the rest of the upgrades are all software related. Any hint as to whether those of us with the non-touch F30 iDrive will still get the software enhancements like faster response, realtime weather, etc? BJ |

No, you're not going crazy...I've also had posts deleted and reposted by Jason or consolidated into another post...even had one where my post was actually changed with a few new sentences that I never wrote...a little weird.

The only real new thing would be the upgrade in software but not in the physical hardware that you see in the car...

It would be nice if this ends up just being a simple Combox swap out; meaning only a couple of part #s to swap (or even just one!) It looks like the screen is the same resolution and the controls are the same. Would convince me to keep my F30 order in tact.
If anyone has done a similar conversion before or anything of that nature, maybe they could chime in?? I would feel 10000000x better about my F30 order if I knew that it'll be a simple swap in the future.

anything can be done, but with new hardware and software it would probably be cheaper to trade up for a 2013. good luck.

Hi. Just registered to say I got my 320i F30 yesterday. I cannot see any difference in the iDrive of my car compared to what's shown in this post thread.
I can see all this Office stuff with calendar and sms integration, the same menus, facebook integration, weather, internet, news RSS Feeds, split screens, and zoom function, also 3 different map views, perspective, and 2x 2D, etc.. How can I see if I have the new or the old one? Last edited by sander320; 08-27-2012 at 07:39 AM.. Reason: added information |

The only way I know is to check which module is installed with E-Sys. The new ECU should be HU_NBT instead of HU_CIC.

Much easier then checking the ECU!
