2015 Order Question

Hey guys, question for the experts.. I have a 2013 x5 d now..just hit 6k miles.. I had two BMW's but now just have this one.. I'm toying with the idea to trade for a new pretty dressed x5d (as built below)

My current has the multi contour seats, rear shades, upgraded radio, BSM or blk dakota - most options except the listed below with *

What do you guys think? better or not much of a difference?? the newer obviously has the 8 speed and 19" wheels.. and neat x line.. better mpg??

my biggest issue.. I have the bike rack system that inserts into my 13' tow hooks.. this new one seems to have the same tow hook dual system.. I'm guessing the new x5 would work with my BMW bike rack system. (anyone have any info on this?)

I think you'd be better off posting pics of how your bike rack mounts and asking current owners if they would mind taking some measurements to see if it would mount on an F15. I've owned both and I couldn't possibly answer whether your bike rack would fit without seeing how it mounts.
