Looking at used/cpo F10 535i. 2014 v. 2016?

AWe90 · 09-22-2018, 10:10 AM

Hi - I am currently in the market for an LCI 535i x-drive M-Sport. My question is in regard to what differences there are between MY 14 and MY 16. I know MY 15 received upgraded BT connectivity, but is there anything else I should be aware of?

Also, are ALL MY 2014 models full LCI? I read somewhere about 2014.5 LCI models being out there.

Thank you!

2015 and 2016 F10 535i N55 engines have electronic wastegate control. Different turbo because of this and of course different downpipe to go with this.

Just pointing this out to be specific. The end user wont notice much of a difference between the two.

If you are going to do performance modifications, I would get 2015+ to have the EWG.
