Bmw F15 yearly changes?

[bimmer-boy]

Hi to all, I am currently looking to purchase a F15 X5. In the UK my options I have looked at are the 30d and 40d, however I wished to confirm the following:

Are there any years where the F15 has had any mechanical, exterior or interior changes during its current cycle so far?

Any comments would be valued and appreciated, as the car will primarily be used for my young kids.

Thank you in advance

No LCI took place on the F15.

No noticeable changes, just some service bulletins that every model gets (most of them we don't even know and they are not that important anyway)

Thanks, any thing in particular to look out for, or common issues.

As I'm buying used so mileage most likely will be between 10-20 thousand miles.

2015 had performance improvements as follows.

Technical update for the 8-speed automatic transmission leading to better efficiency and faster acceleration:
As of October 2014 production, there will be an engine displacement change on the N55 engine (X5 sDrive35i and X5 xDrive35i) that increases displacement from 2979 cubic centimeters to 3001 cubic centimeters
As of September 2014 production, there will be additional stitching added on all seats upholstered in Dakota or Nappa leather to enhance both seat quality and design. Double stitching will be added on all front seat shoulders.

2015 BMW X5 0-60 mph improvements

I wanted to mention that ZF8 transmission update, but I figured OP isn't that interested in 0.2 sec change with 30d/40d - but you are right, you never know what people may find as important, maybe those extra stitches will make it or brake it for OP

If it’s for the kids, will they notice any updates?
