Sorry. I don't think you can retrofit it on the older iDrive

Most likely the new idrive software requires more memory / cpu power than our computers can offer. Better to have a fast, older interface than a sluggish, new one.

It is really a pity to purchase an X5 and after some months the navigation and other electronic systems to be "old"

Mine is in production now. Does it bother me that if I waited another month for the car i could have this? Slightly but I didn't buy the M so I could have apple car play or touch screen. I'm still old school I guess because my trusty iPod mini still works perfect for music in my car. Siri also works good enough for other things.

The current version of Carplay is very overrated. If this system is able to get updates later on, then it could be worth it. But if you are going to be stuck with the current iteration, then you are not missing out on much by not getting it.

Did anyone else notice that the HP is going up to 575 from 567?

Regarding the B&O discussion....I gotta say, I didn't think I needed it but now that I have it, I LOVE IT.

It's always been 575hp / 567bhp.

I ordered mine and its production will be last week of June, I guess this one would be the last before the idrive and carplay update, but touchscreen is something that I don´t like, I have my laptop with it and keeps extremely dirty with finger marks everywhere, carplay may be uselfull but I guess that you may upgrade your current idrive to carplay, touchscreen is dificult to upgrade it because this needs a whole new screen and hardware, but I think carplay is just a firmware o software update.. hopefully.

Sorry. I think CarPlay need the new iDrive software and that need the new hardware so I don't think it's just an firmware update.

Am not sure about this because of the following. April 2016 pricelist (European/German) listed that Connected Sevices are needed to have a preparation for 6CP apple CarPlay (this info is on the long text on the right hand side - an explanation for connected services package). German pricelist Aug 2016 lists 6CP as a separate option but states that it is available as of 2nd half 2016. I tried to order the option 6CP at the dealer and he does not even have it in the system and he does have some of the new options. Anyways, i crossed it out as i wanna avoid waiting longer with later production. I heard from a dealer that he believes that Apple CarPlay will be availabe as of September 2016 as an add on option (they received this info in something called product update).

CarPlay will require you to have the NBT2 (Evo) headunit. Model Year 2017 F85 will include the NBT2 as the new navigaiton system. NBT (which is in the 2014-2016 F15/6 & 2015-2016 F85/6) headunit is NOT compatible with this and will not be able to receive a software update or touchscreen capability even as a retrofit.

Don't bother thinking of NBT2 retrofit to replace the NBT unit ... new security implemented in NBT2 will lock the unit if it is installed into a vehicle which was not spec'd with it. VIN # is passed over the MOST bus to the NBT2 and when it detects a non-original VIN, it will lock-up. Only a dealer can unlock the unit.

If you want carplay, wait for a 2017.

I personally could care less and hate fingerprints on the screen, so I am happy that I am getting my 2016 with NBT unit. It also means I can update my navi maps myself for free using ESYS & map torrents readily available on the net ... downside is that the NBT2 has a 4G modem instead of the 3G found in the NBT unit ... so the NBT2 loads the widgets onto the screen much more quickly.

If you do care about CarPlay or are buying a 2017 X5/6 or X5/6M ... you can also code the new iDrive 5.0 layout (found in the new 7 series & recently released for the 3GT LCI press release) as they will all share the NBT2

No I chickened out last minute. I couldn't order it before seeing one in the flesh and MR is so hard to find.

I really really like the Mugello interior so went with mineral white exterior to compliment it.

MR looks like a fire truck red.

But MW on Mugello will look amazing as well.

Anyway chances are, I cannot wait til 2017, first I already gave the downpay, also I cannot hold my decision due to a lack of some tech gadget, is like waiting until Waze has APPS support, I cannot wait to have at the pedal 575hp!! it will be a lot of fun after all...

Ahhh and all this not considering that Latin America market is likely to receive updates at last.

Apple CarPlay can be ordered from September. I'm guessing they are waiting for iOS 10.

The 4g modem would be nice, at least for providing a hotspot in the car. I never really use any connected apps other than the remote app on my phone.
