New features as of 7/14 vehicle production:

All models:
The memory button for the electric seat settings is now marked with “SET” instead of “M.”

All models except Z4 Roadster:
When equipped with Navigation, an advanced version of Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI; option 6AM) provides a new function. Additional route suggestions are offered, highlighted by a “globe” icon in the NAV screen. This is especially helpful when traveling in heavy traffic situations such as rush hour.

2 Series, Z4 Roadster:
The standard-equipment new generation Radio BMW Professional is now equipped with 3G functionality.

All models equipped with optional heated steering wheel (option 248):
An activation symbol now appears in the instrument cluster. This feature allows the driver to immediately notice if the heating is active, without having to look to the activation switch on the left side of the steering column.

228i; 3 Series (except M3), 4 Series (except M4), 5 Series:
For improved legibility, the time display in the instrument cluster has been relocated from the center to the bottom right, under the tachometer.

2, 3, 4 Series:
Servotronic power steering can now be configured using the Dynamic Driving Control toggle switch on the center console, separately from the existing chassis and drivetrain settings.
When equipped with optional navigation and in combination with automatic transmission, predictive gearshift strategy (shift recommendation indicator) is displayed using navigation data when the transmission is being driven in the manual mode.
Radio on/off/volume control knob now has imprinted “ON/OFF” (does not pertain to M3 and M4).

2 Series with optional M Sport package (option code 337):
Low-dust brake pads (non-asbestos organic [NAO]) are fitted, except when equipped with the optional Sport Brake Package.

Cool info. Is this for all US cars or World Wide?

If the brakes aren't the M Sport ones wouldn't this apply to the non-M Sport models too? at least in HK the M Sport brakes are included in the M Sport package lol

[pikcachu]

will any of these be available as a software update from the dealer or only from MY15 cars?

Interesting..

I heard the 2015 also has Bluetooth audio without upgrading. Seems silly to have to upgrade for something a base Hyundai provides so I hope it's true.

It does not have Bluetooth streaming standard. What you might've heard is that Bluetooth streaming is now a separate, dollar-for-dollar more expensive option ($500).

The 2 series configurator has been online for a while. http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte...modelcode=152C

Ugh.

The configurator does not tell you that the new option is actually changed from previous years. Part of 6NS has been added to 6NH (which is standard).

Music streaming via BT is now standard I believe.

Do low dust brake pads = worse brakes from performance standpoint?

Yes. Hence them not being included with performance brakes. Something always has to give.

No one seems to know. I've asked my potential dealer and he hasn't answered yet.

BT audio is now standard, see my post here for details and BMW PDF describing changes: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showt...7#post16289727

Since you missed my post entirely and scott did not reply to you directly, look one post up. Thanks.

[c1pher]

Thanks, since I did not know what the codes meant, I couldn't decider what you were saying lol. So that is good news. I'm ready to plunk my deposit down now on my M Sport.

[bimmerbuff]

Servotronic change is interesting for sure.

[brad235]

I checked out a M235i at the dealer a few days ago and the salesman said that there is a feature on the M235 that you can use your key fob to turn on your cars AC (even 6MT.) He couldn't figure out how to show me it and I googled and searched and nothing came up to verify if this is true. Can anyone confirm this is a feature? Thanks!
