2012 vs 2012 F30 BMW 335i Luxury. 100% identical?

[Dan Santoso]

Halo All,

I am planning to get 335i luxury soon, this is my 1st BMW.

The 2012 model is USD$5000 cheaper than the 2013 model.

I was wondering if 2013 model has new features or is it exactly the same as the 2012 model.

It will be great if someone can inform me.


Thanks,
Dan

The 2013 model "might" come with a newer GPS unit.

IT IS new hardware.

Intel processor 1.3Ghz vs Renesas 600Mhz
1Gb RAM vs 512Mb
8Gb flash vs 512Mb
Nvidia graphics vs Fujitsu
200Gb harddisk vs 80Gb
btw... new system has wireless chip inside. That opens up new possibilities.

Welcome to bmw-sg Dan. The 2013 model may come with the newer iDrive that is able to play mpeg movies.

Just the Nav, so if it's still old, then go the cheaper option.
