M2 pre-LCI model year differences
Hi all,
Searching for the differences in the Pre-LCI M2 model years; From what I have seen, late 2015 and most of 2016 built vehicles have different (older) user interface for the idrive but late 2016 onwards this was updated - large menu icons, larger sport displays, different menu views. The idrive control itself also changed slightly where the buttons look a little sleeker. Can anyone confirm any other differences or updates the M2 received before the LCI was released? |

The head unit was upgraded to the NBT2 EVO hardware. More RAM and faster processor.
MY17's "Wireless Charging and Wi-Fi Hotspot with Enhanced USB and Bluetooth". - Multi phone Bluetooth, additional mic located on passenger side. Additional Bluetooth port. - Access 3rd party apps wirelessly over Bluetooth. - Additional USB port - Screencasting - 8-device connection to internet hotspot. - Route learning for navigation. - Conversational voice input. Those are the only ones I recall. I think there may be minor changes in the available Connected App features as well. |

Thanks for the replies, sounds like there are only minor changes throughout 2016 built vehicles.
Can the idrive be updated? I've seen some photos with a temp gauge showing in the cluster between the two tachos - is this available on all cars? Input on any other changes would be appreciated, thanks! |

Yes, there are only minor changes between MY16 and MY17. I don't think MY17 will be able to use the new cloud services offered for Connected Drive+.
The oil+coolant combo temp gauge is available on all cars. Should be in the middle position for a few miles before optimum oil temp is reached. The warranty changes are also very minor practically for the vast majority of owners. Not sure what you mean by "can the iDrive be updated". It really depends on what particular purpose you would want the "update". |

Short answer: Yes, but it will be expensive and online services might be sacrificed
