Wireless charging ? Have I missed 10 years or something?

Inductive, like your Toothbrush (assuming you have an electric toothbrush) -

Not sure the Apple iPhone has inductive charging? - my Android does and so does Windows Phones (the decent ones) anyway.

The rumour mill suggests the iPhone 7 will have wireless charging

Do you know when these changes (new Sat Nav) and new pack (which sounds good value) will be reflected on configurator?

I don't, sorry.

I spoke to th dealer this afternoon to add something to my spec and he simply said he'd cancelled my order, and he was going to wait a week and place it again so I had the new options.

I understand his configurator will be up and running tomorrow, not sure about the BMW site, but I guess a week or so?

Perfect thx. In meantime I dont suppose you know if base price has changed? And what the cost of the pack with HUD etc costs?

I'm told the base price hasn't changed, the option pack is slightly cheaper than the sum of the parts currently and whilst USB thingy has gone the new equivalent is now about £100 more expensive.

I'm hoping that in my case overall costs will be the same. If I end up spending £100 than I was going to but have the most up-to-date X5 on the road I'll be happy.

Thx. I have done a C2C spec and been given 18% discount. You beat that with 22%?
Impressive going !

I had two dealers fighting and I did nothing other than sit back and watch them.

Once the deal had been agreed I had the figure reduced by £2500 late on a Friday as they were still fighting for the deal.....bloody amazing!

At the risk of throwing a spanner in the works... do you know if the car you're getting may get the new quad turbo 50d engine that's being rolled out for the 750d? Not sure if it's coming to the UK and if so when

Here's the first link I could dig up, sure I read about it last month or so though

I don't think so.
