Is This a Different Trim? Or Did Front Bumper Change Between 2014-2015?

What's the difference between X1's that have the long silver bar with ridges at the bottom (chin) of the front bumper cover and those that have the short smooth silver bar (with black on either side)? Based on the BMW Configurator, It appears that all 2015 X1 models (unless Sport Line or M Sport) have the long silver bar, regardless of engine or sDrive or xDrive. But I see X1's (presumably older ones?) with the shorter silver chin bar.

The long bar is 2015+ Xline. The short silver bar at the bottom is 2010-2014 no line. Short silver bar with a centre silver bar is 2010-2014 X line. Sport lines get all black while M sport get the M bumper.

I'd like that long bar version better, if they didn't have pimples. The mini-spoilers are kind of cool.

Perfect, thanks for the concise, comprehensive, and fast response! Were there other minor cosmetic changes for 2015 like this (inside or out)? Or updates to iDrive?

Inside, there's now a contrasting trim at the bottom edge of the main trim pieces, and an aluminum pad in the hatch sill area

The gauge cluster also gets a different cover with contrasting stitching on it.

Interesting.. I have 2014 April make and I have all those but that passenger side cup holder docking port and that 2 tone trim in the dash. Awkwardly, my passenger cup holder's fixed inside the centre-console so to use it I have to open the armrest

Sorry for the off-topic, but just wanted to clear this out doesn't the centre console have a lighting in it so that it lights up when opening like the glove box?

Yep, factory switched over in last week of Feb to MY 2015. Those differences you mention must be US vs Australia market weirdness.

Hell if they have leftover 1M bits, BMW can sure send them my way. I'll build my own
