When is the F30 LCI likely to be released?

[Urban Sports]

Thinking of ordering a new 330d soonish for spring next year but don't know whether or not to hold out for the LCI, any ideas when it's out?

My guess, Mid/ late 2016


We haven't had the 1series F20/21.LCi yet, and that's not scheduled for this year

The lead time on the 330d is very short, just a few weeks, so you could hold on until early 2015 and still get a March delivery. You are probably aware of the large discounts too.

I assumed that they would follow the F10 pattern and do it 3.5 years after launch, i.e. Q3 2015, but it still could be 2016.

They do seem to make more than one update a year these days. My March 2014 build car was fortunate to get Bluetooth music streaming by about a week. I usually seem to miss updates by a week!

Any more ideas on this, some of the internet says summer 2015, I might hold on until then.

It is June 2015 build onwards for the LCI. I have had this confirmed by a BMW recently.

Re money!!! I have just ordered a 330d Luxury ,thats come in monthly less than a 225d which I cancelled because of long delivery time,lucky me for once!!

No dealer financial help from BMW re the new 2 series, but a lot for the 3er.

In "real " terms for my financials should be £8o/85 a month more over 4 years but its come in £15 a month less,crazy,
