2013 or 2014 640i convertible?

I'm in the market for either year. What are the differences between the two years? And what's your opinion on which year to get, assuming both still under factory warranty? I can obviously save a bit of money getting the older year but that likely means a bit higher mileage and not having the latest technology.

Thanks!

AFAIK no differences in drivetrain tech - but I am not sure in which year the change from CIC to NBT was made. That's the only change which was mid-cycle and not part of the LCI.

CIC is the last gen infotainment system, distinguishable by the small iDrive knob. NBT is the current one, with the larger, touch sensitive one.

LCI stands for LifeCycle Impulse, the facelifted refreshed model introduced half way through the model cycle.
