we already have cameras in place of side wing mirrors and rear view mirror so - yeah that would be logical next step!

You joke but they literally talked about this as a possibility for new class vehicles! And it’s in the demo video as augmented reality

Well, looks like it's pretty much official - the only current iDrive 8 vehicle that will get an OTA update to iDrive 8.5 is the 7. The iX will eventually get a new head unit that runs 8.5, but it won't get the OTA update.

Colour me shocked.
Horrific fragmentation, but enevitable given the platform switch. Only positive on this is once it’s “done”, we should get actually upgrades from 9 to 10/11 on all vehicles |

This is the flawed logic that apple apologists do, they think apple is better and people are upset about that, false. Apple is behind on technology and has been for a decade. I don't care that ppl enjoy their apples or pixels or whatever they want, I just want these companies to build products that let their customers communicate with people that don't use their same product. It's anti consumer, and ppl that go "oh well you don't have an apple too bad" are helping them build you a worse product.

Yeah but those for areas you can’t see or yo help see better… not to project on what we can see without help… one of those things trying to provide a solution for a made up problem…

on the brighter side, everything will become Teslas so we won't hear anymore bickering between camps

confusing. will existing 2023 3 series with idrive 8 get an OTA update to 8.5? i've had the car 2 months. information seems to say 7 series will, but not sure why 3s would not (other than we aren't as expensive).

That's great news if 100% correct after so many speculations of whether this would be available to all i8 systems. On the other hands it sucks that for some they will just get the hands of i8 and then have to re-learn and get used to 8.5.

BMW has had fragmented versions of iDrive across their lineup for pretty much as long as iDrive has existed. No surprise that it continues.
