But you should realize that BMW new models at it's first year is ALWAYS a transition model. After a year or year and a half 3er, 5er, 7er gets new engines, new systems, new technical upgrades and so on. That what I saw with my first BMW 5er e39 and the second 7er e65.

Next generation only. Sorry.

Basically no NBT (Next Big Thing, the internal codename for the new Navi) for E-series.

Excuse me for being a little bit off-topic, but I'm quite shocked by US prices for BMW F30 and it's options! For example here in Russia professional navigation option costs about $4600 instead of $2150 in US!! Harman Kardon is even more fun - $2350 vs $875!

Yes, my dealer gave me just the same info around three weeks ago (availability of new iDrive), which is why we placed the order for f30 335 for November production.
The wait will surely kill me, but now I know it's worth it

Well with all this new technology BMW needs to start having some 6 month lease programs

It should be easier than that, Sam... the F30 has iDrive standard. So it should be a matter of replacing the CIC. I do not think that the current HD screen will be replaced unless its connectors are changed -which I doubt that any CIC connector will be changed as well.

[ATX78703]

can somebody explain to me what benefits Connected Drive offers as opposed to just getting the new Sat Nav Pro? Is it mainly the access to the apps, or does it also affect the iDrive, google compatibility, text message/email interface and the LTE?

It's just not clear to me what is Connected Drive and what is part of the upgraded iDrive / Sat Nav.

Yeah, like releasing the 320/325 and replacing it with the 323/328 not long after, usually much more powerful

Jason, Our plan is to get a 3 series 335i coupe as our next daily driver in the Sport or Luxury Edition. When it comes off the assembly line will it have the new navigation system? Do you know when production of the 3 Series Coupe will start?

Thanks,
