2023 BMW X1 will debut iDrive 9.0 minus a rotary controller
that's coming with the Neue Klasse cars due in 2025, and a new, simplified set of digital HVAC controls.
The rotary controller that's been a feature of iDrive since the system's debut in 2001 goes away in the smaller models that introduce iDrive 9.0. Larger, more expensive model will retain the knob when they make the transition, likely to suit an older audience that doesn't need to be at the digital wavefront.
Internet use and OTA updates take advantage of 5G speeds, as will a new"Customer Digital Ecosystem" that's a hub for apps, messaging, e-mail, and news. What about the big cars? Since they're on the Linux-based iDrive 8.0, they can't be converted to the Android-based iDrive 9.0. BMW's software centers have coded a big update known as iDrive 8.5. To show first in the i5 before moving up the chain to the 7 Series and
, iDrive 8.5 is said to match the functionality and feature set of iDrive 9.0 save for the app store.
