Correct but I thought it was only available in late 17 or early 18 for US models. Don’t recall ever seeing one on a 15-16.
Either way my statement still holds true generally. Last year models occasionally benefit from inclusion of newer parts or a special trim edition for the final year run. And the biggest appeal is getting a motor with all the kinks worked out with latest service bulletins. Placed deposit on the ‘16, plan is to pick up Monday night unless some unicorn 18 pops up in next 48 hours. |

Agree with the above. Also a newer vehicle is always more desirable for someone in the market, mileage is obviously a big deciding factor as well as any maintenance records. Pricing is usually reflective of the former.
I personally would want as late gen, low mileage as physically possible. |

Re features, I’m pretty faimiliar with BMW’s CarPlay as I had it on my ‘18 i3 for the 2 years I leased it. If this were our primary car, I’d hold out longer but this will be the backup to the GX460 (which fwiw I did did hold out for a last year v8 with CarPlay haha). |

Ended up taking delivery of the ‘16 and couldn’t be happier. At 23k miles car still looks and feels like news. Previous owner was clearly OCD as he left on the navi screen protector. Interestingly PO went out of his or her way retrofit the running boards on thr M sport but I don’t mind it. My kids and I have already gotten used to it.
I already purchased a few some small mods that will be going on this week |

To me CarPlay and connected services are useful. You only get them on 2017 onwards. I have a 2018 and it is rock solid. Not even a rattle yet! There is something to be said for last year in a model…For me CarPlay is a must have. I also like the 6WB cluster…

Re running boards, I’m not a large guy (5’9” 170lbs) and they work fine for me. Sure they’re not as big or wide as the ones on my wife’s GX, but it’s pretty easy to use if you just place your foot sideways (parallel with the boards) when getting in. Basically you’re coming in at an angle. Getting out is normal but I just place the back of my foot on the board. I find using the boards subjects the seat bottoms to way less abuse. I’m plopping down into the seat as opposed to sliding over it, which typically leads to bolster wear, cracked leather, and etc. |
