Does a car need touchscreen climate controls to run iDrive 8, like the i4 or ix? I thought that was coming on the LCI.
Even if it doesn't, Autogefuhl found it worse than 7. I'm not sure if it's an upgrade. |

I consider this another reason to keep the current one …. This is very radical and the current buttons and layout is what I am used to from the different BMWs I have.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't like what I've seen of iDrive 8 so far. One of the reasons I bought the x5 is because the interior layout and the physical buttons is, in my opinion, really well executed. iDrive 8 feels like a step backwards to me.
I also saw the Autogefuhl review, and he joked that the interface reminded him of Windows 95. Frankly, I don't think he's far off. Lastly, I absolutely hate the "iPad glued to the dash" look. In the G05 the center screen implementation doesn't look like it was an afterthought, and feels well integrated. The screen in the iX straight up looks like they forgot to include an instrument cluster and added it last minute. That being said BMW is not the only one guilty of this, and of course it's personal preference. I don't want to go as far as saying that iDrive 8 would keep me from considering a car, but I think the iX with iDrive 7 would've been awesome. |

idrive 8 is coming to the G05 (imo and there are some spy shots and articles confirming it). The only thing I am wondering if it will be coming before LCI or introduced for the LCI. This image shows the current (non LCI) G05 so I was thinking it may be introduced mid 2022).

I know a lot of people also use Waze. I haven't used it but I imagine it's a similar scenario. I just wish the Maps/Waze integration with iDrive was a bit better. For example I really like how the map shows up in the center of the instrument cluster with BMW nav. But I guess you can't have everything... |

Google won't even send directions to the HUD, much less the map? I know Apple at least sends the directions. |

Yep, that's what I get as well. Not as good as the BMW HUD display, but I guess it's something.
