The way I read that, I think they mean that both, through production and OTA updates, the listed vehicles will begin getting iDrive 8.5 starting summer of 2023. However, this is BMW we are talking about where they can't even tell us all the features we get with specific color and option combinations where everyone always has to guess. The relevant snippet follows:
"The new BMW Operating System 8.5 will be introduced incrementally – either in production or via a remote software upgrade in certain vehicles already running Operating System 8 – in the following models beginning in the summer of 2023:
BMW 7 Series
BMW iX
BMW i4
BMW X5
BMW X6
BMW X7
BMW XM
It will continue to be based on Linux and will be combined with the largest version of the BMW Curved Display.
The new BMW Operating System 9, based on Android Open Source Project software, will appear in the compact class first in the 2024 BMW X1."
