Pay more for less
My 2022 G82 order was canceled so I’m ending up with the 2023. I was told all G80/82/87 after July 2022 will have the new idrive 8. Personally, I don’t like it for a mid to high end performance car but I appreciate your conundrum. In my opinion, performance cars deserve a separate gauge cluster and that’s my main issue with it. I don’t think it adds anything special to the M cars as it was initially designed for the EVs and quite honestly that’s where it belongs, imo.
That said - if you want the 2023 with idrive 8 you’ll have to go through the process of obtaining a new allocation and waiting for production. Every dealer within 100 miles of me is out of its initial allocations already. It’s also $2.7K more on the base price of every model and the options are more expensive. Spec’d the exact same way, my 2023 is $5K more than my 2022 would have been. And according to the 3 dealerships I spoke with, I’m “lucky” to be getting it at MSRP.
