None of the changes are things you should lose sleep over, and you likely got $1k of incentives that won't be available on the 2015 model for several months at least.

I don't see anything new on the 2015 model year changes that gives me anything but a yawn. Leave your order in place, start the agonizing process of waiting for your BMW to go through build and shipment before you get your hands on it. Once you start driving your X1 you won't even remember what was different between these model years. This is a truly fun car to drive. A few trim differences and a couple of upgradable ConnectedDrive features are really small potatoes.

Thanks. I think i will just go ahead and order it. There no difference for my2015 anyway. Unless i care about resale value being "1 year" newer.

Could someone summarize the iDrive/ConnectedDrive differences for 2015? From my first reading on this, it seems that 2015 gets the "touch" controller. But are there other features that simply won't be available on the 2014 version? Or is most of the new capability coming via software update?
My 2014 just hit Halifax. Am I making a mistake relative to short changing myself on the tech features? Thanks, Tom |

Hey Tom, if you read back midway through this thread, you'll see I had the same question which was thoroughly replied to. But the short answer is, yes, it appears very likely that older versions will be updatable to the new one.

Thanks - I'll behave better once I'm past the nervous nellie phase of tracking a ship containing my car. This has been a fun process, however! I've appreciated these forums. Good stuff.

I interpret the ability to load apps to be a new feature, and (recognizing this is complete speculation), my guess would be that that ability would *not* be a software only feature (meaning that there is some qualitative difference that pre-2015 models will not be able to upgrade to.) It sounds like a nice idea, but given BMW's history of upgrading software and phone apps, I also wouldn't get all that excited about it because BMW does not upgrade this stuff often. For example, there are still no updates for IOS 7 after how many months? So, what I'm saying is, if that new capability is important to any of you, you would likely be safer to wait for the 2015's. Even then, it would not be beyond BMW for early 2015's to NOT have the feature and for it to show up *after* the model year changeover. This happened with my 2011 335d which missed a running software change introduced a couple of months after the start of the model year. If is frustrating that BMW is consistently so vague about this stuff, but that's something that doesn't seem likely to change. |

Put my order in on Monday and my awesome CA emailed me today to say that I have their first 2015 x1 allocation. Should have a VIN number in not too long.
Pricing details here: http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...78&postcount=7 Let the waiting begin! Time to go re-read the entire manual again on my iPad mini |

Heard from my CA today—my '15 entered production yesterday, a week before they had scheduled the switchover to 2015 MY, wooo! Scheduled to be completed March 3rd, no question I'll have one of the first '15 models in the US, which I'll enjoy greatly for the week or so it lasts
And, yes, I got the VIN and checked it and it checks out as 2015 model. I imagine the factory isn't going to have the line doing two model years at once, so it seems like from here on out: adios to 2014 MY.

my 2015 x1 finished production on Monday, waiting at port now as of today. Hoping it gets on the Turnadot which leaves Bremerhaven in 7 days.
Estimated arrival in Port Hueneme would be 4/8 and ready for pick-up in Portland on 4/17ish. Fingers crossed.
