Anyone know what revisions were made to the 5 series standard spec for various this year please? I hear black panel display was added to M series as standard for instance?
Thanks

Black panel is standard. Professional navigation now includes BMW apps but no longer includes enhanced Bluetooth.

Did 2014 cars have Enhanced Bluetooth? Mine is 2014 with Pro Media and it has Apps but not Enhanced Bluetooth.

No, enhanced bluetooth was dropped as part of the Pro Nav package when the NBT iDrive platform (touch pad on rotary knob) was introduced in late 2013.

Crazy that BMW charge for such a basic feature as ENH BT. Cars half the cost can do this now.

It is. TBH I've no desire to stream over Bluetooth but it irritates me that it can't. I've a slight fear that a passenger (after being suitably wowed by the HUD, LED headlights etc) is going to pull out their phone and say "You've got to listen to this."

You have to wonder what ENH BT offers. I had it in my 2012 F10. I do not have it in my 2015 F10. Yet in both cars, I can connect up to 4 phones and stream music from them. The only thing I cannot do in the 2015 car is receive text messages.

Passengers will probably not even know you have HUD as only the driver can see it. My passengers used to think I was lying when I pointed to it on the windscreen because from where they're sitting you can't see a thing.

So you can stream without EBT? I can pair up multiple phones but when I go to Configure Device it only offers Telephone. The phone is OK because I streamed music to a Mercedes recently. Am I doing something wrong?
