Updates for 3 series this Summer
https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...08710EN/451135
BMW press release re lots of updates to the the whole range. Most interested in the driving assistance pro updates. I wonder if they will be a software update for existing models? And Android auto at last! |

Did I read that right, that they will offer navigation through Android Auto or Apple Carplay in the HUD?? That would be a game changer!

Maybe be a connected drive purchase option though.

The LCI 5 has Apple Maps (or navigation in general) in the HUD? I've watched the overview of the new 5 and 6 and didn't see that. I saw Android Auto becoming standard.

Yes it should do, that car will be a MY2021 car. BMW like most manufacturers will have used the covid shutdown to update their lines so they are ready to go when the factory started back up.

"The systems are integrated directly in the vehicle's display and control system via a wireless LAN connection between the respective smartphone and the vehicle. Here, the driver can view all the information from the apps or the Control Display and also the navigation directions in the instrument cluster and the optional Head-Up Display". Also coming are the Phytonic Blue paint as seen on the launch 5 which looks stunning imo. 3ers also coming new design sport seats or at least new design headrests that have an M emboss. |

Why? Because they have an M embossed in the headrest? Lol

No! On previous thread owners were complaining of the seats being harder than the F30/31. Because of this I upgraded my order to the Merino leather.
My dealer has confirmed by G21 340dx has been rescheduled to Build week 29 which will be MY2021. So hopefully no further lockdowns. |

ETA: And actually, looking on the configurator Phytonic isn't an option on the M340i anyway - the colour choice for that model looks to be unchanged! Last edited by JNW1; 05-29-2020 at 11:27 AM.. |

Our dealerships are scheduled to open this week so hopefully they will be able to clarify the situation. Views anyone? |

My car was ordered via my lease company on 29th January so does the spec change? I’m guessing so as the factory will almost certainly have setup for the 21MY but until the dealer supplying the car confirms details and delivery dates who knows. If they offer a suitable stock car I’d probably take it as it’s a company car so I’m not as concerned with resale values, as long as it is an M-Sport and has the tech pack I’d be happy.

As you say, though, your dealer should be able to clarify the position. |
