This post seems really controversial for no reason (in my opinion). All the latest iDrive 8 screens are getting updated to 8.5 and then all new models after iDrive 9 has finished development will get that.
iDrive 8.5 & 9 are going to be the exact same minus the base OS (Linux vs Android). iDrive 9 (Android) will include an App Store while 8.5 won’t.
This really just seems like BMW saying they are finished with 8.5 and currently working on 9. This is great news that they are improving iDrive 8 and allowing older cars to keep up with the latest models.
I’m confused about all the hate here. Is it because no one else likes iDrive 8 (I disliked it before I used it) or what am I missing?
