2013 Updates

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone has news of any small updates to the 2013 build 1 Series?

I know that most car makers add things from time to time and can be as small as more sound insulation or even adding standard features. Was just wondering before we hit order with our dealership (test driving a 125i this weekend).

Good question. Mine's being built this month for a March delivery.

Doesn't appear to be too many Aussie F20 owners on the forum as yet...

I do know that BMW Australia is offering free auto and free business navigation on all 1 series ordered before January 31st.

Yeah, I saw that. Pretty good deal. About $4k worth of value there and while I like rowing my own, I've read such good things about the ZF 8Speed.

It's brilliant, especially for free. Far more intuitive than the VW DSG box, which is a piece of crap IMO.

Does this include the m135i??

If one orders one now... what month build would it be? It'd be nice to get the March ConnectedDrive update for the pro nav... (wonder if the difference would be included for the 'free business nav').

Cheers...

Sydney Represent! Lol

I don't know of any differences as mine was October Build, but I'd say it would be very very little as my car is technically MY13 as its built after June 2012

The current wait for a F20 in Aus is around 12 to 16 weeks from order date.

Hey Corey, I'm getting a M135i too! You getting white again? I'm in two minds, although my order is for white right now. Kinda like the blue too. What do you reckon?

As for updates, the March build cars will apparently have the new nav, according to a thread I read previously. So I delayed my build.

Hey mate, been a while. Glad to be coming back to the BMW brand again!

Yep, going with Alpine White again, but also debated getting Estoril Blue for a while until I saw a white one in the flesh with performance parts on it. Awesome!

I can't wait to take delivery, so won't be delaying mine just for nav.

What other options did you go with?

only applies to cars in stock or ordered and delivered before 31/1.
so your m135i would have to be sitting there now for you to get the discount

I picked up my 125i Msport around end of december 2012.
When I purchased the vehicle and I did ask if there was any update to the car as it was near 2013. The dealer told me that he hasn't heard anything yet and BMW normally release update mid year so I went with a 2012 car.

Have to say I love it so much that my wife couldn't understand what is all the fuss about! The only disappointment are some quality issues which my dealer still trying to rectify...

There are a few 2013 updates that I know of.
Snowflake button for AC is changed to A/C.
CD button is changed to Media.
