The 2014 model year X1 has the older CIC navigation system vs. the NBT which is delivered with the F series BMW models. I really don't think BMW is switching to NBT for the 2015 model. If they were they would highlight features such as touchpad iDrive controller, Advanced Real time traffic, optional wifi, ect. In short I'd bet the Nav/iDrive/ConnectedDrive update is software only.
Thanks for the info! Is BMW good with the updates? This is my first and all my previous cars were a total no-go in terms of updates on the HU--whatever you get when you buy the car is what you have for life, unless you start looking at third party help, etc etc. And I agree, I think there is a 0% chance 2015 gets upgraded to NBT HU.
