Yes! Just keep buying whatever has iD7. That’s what I did. Traded the M3 ‘23 with iD8 for a Z4 with iD7. Happy again

Idrive 7 is KING. Glad I have it on my m340i. It's near perfection, and I'm a real stickler for GUI.

That makes no sense because neither allows you to access car specific functionality through the CarPlay or Android auto interface.

I'll be really disappointed if my iDrive 8 curved-screen display can't support a .5 update. iDrive 9, maybe not. But at least 8.5 should work on existing 8-capable systems.

iD8 was in the 2022 i4.

ID9 seems to be for lower end vehicles. And 8.5 for mid to higher end vehicles. Most likely than not, 8 will be upgradable to 8.5. |

Pay $1000 and get the latest screen and hardware for it They are so keen on charging monthly features (heated seats ) Have one that allows you to upgrade your tech to the latest version People would pay for that $30 a month to always have the latest hardware for the car

Well car and driver makes it sound like the id8 will be updated to 8.5 BUT for some reason the 3 series/M3 aren’t mentioned as getting the update which wouldn’t make sense. If the i4 can get it, why can’t my M3

If anything, X1 is getting it first so BMW can use lower end buyers as guinea pigs before potentially angering all of their buyers. |

This. MB did the same thing with MBUX when the current A-Class launched. They wanted them to test out the new “Hey Mercedes” features.

There’s a whole lot of defensive justification in that BMW press release about how customers are now used to touch screens, etc. IMHO, touch screens in a car are far, far from ideal. You have to look closely at the screen to do anything, and you get no tactile feedback. Taking your eyes off the road is the opposite of good design. And, in a vehicle, you have substantial movement and g-forces which make precise use of a touch screen that much more difficult.
The real reason for this change is cost, plain and simple. Elimination of the iDrive controller just compounds this whole problem, with cost (again) the main driver. I predict that this will eventually be seen as an enormous mistake. Lawsuits and/or customer dissatisfaction will force a reconsideration of the cost/ benefit balance. I’m certain BMW engineers recognize all this, and there was a huge fight with management about these decisions. A shame, really. |

I have a 2020 x3m40i with ID7 and a 2023 x1 with ID8. If my wife didn’t want the smaller SAV I would have gone with another X3. She prefers to drive our 2018 320xi over the brand new SAV and only uses it when she needs it to do something with the grandkids. The WORST thing they did is take away the controller. That is what she misses most and I have to agree with her. The response of the system is good, the graphics and display are crisp and clear. But the lack of tactile buttons and removal of the controller is a big mistake.
