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.

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. |

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.

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. Alan

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.
