<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has released its mile-long list of model changes for 2015. It's mostly comprised of tiny tweaks to options packages, pricing or trim colors, but there are a few interesting new features in there too. One thing all buyers will notice is that as of July 1, the company's destination charge increases by $25, to $950 for all of its models.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/2+series/">2 Series</a> gets two really useful upgrades for 2015. We already knew that BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/05/13/bmw-m235i-xdrive-7-series-exclusive-summer-upgrades-official/">would be offered on the M235i this summer</a>. However, it won't be the only 2 capable of spinning all four wheels. The 228i model will also be available with the system for $34,850 (after destination), $1,800 more than the standard model.<br />
<br />
The other big addition brings a sportier ride to the 228i (with or without xDrive) for those who don't want to spring for the M235i. BMW is adding a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/17/bmw-2-series-track-handling-package-new-york-2014/">Track Handling Package</a> (pictured above) that lowers the suspension 10mm and includes the Adaptive M Suspension, Variable Sport Steering, M Sport Brakes and 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. It's available on manual or automatic models at $1,600 for cars ordered with the M Sport or Sport Line trims or $2,200 without it.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x5/">X5</a> also sees a performance improvement. In October, the displacement of the N55 engine in the sDrive35i and xDrive35i gets bumped from 2.979 liters to 3.001 liters, and the eight-speed automatic is also upgraded. The changes shed about a tenth of a second off of the SUV's sprint to 60 miles per hour.<br />
<br />
There are a few other more minor adjustments sprinkled among the rest of the lineup. For instance, all <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/5+series/">5 Series</a> models now get standard LED foglights. One change that might not make enthusiasts happy is that the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/z4/">Z4 sDrive35i</a> is no longer available with a manual transmission; the seven-speed dual clutch is the only gearbox available for the model. <a href="/2014/06/05/bmw-offers-xdrive-on-2015-2-series/#continued">Scroll down</a> to read the official release below and check out the myriad changes.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/06/06/bmw-offers-xdrive-on-2015-2-series/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BMW offers xDrive on 2015 2 Series</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/06/06/bmw-offers-xdrive-on-2015-2-series/">BMW offers xDrive on 2015 2 Series</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:15:00 EST.
