Hello bimmers,

A new iDrive interface is now available for 2016 X3, X4, Série 1, Serie 2 :


How could we get it in our 2015, 2016 cars ?


- Update the software with the USB key by using a 2017 VIN ?

- Update the NBT firmware with Esys and E-net cable ?

.... ?

Thanks for your help and ideas

As far as I know, the updated software is paired to an updated controller, therefore I don't think that you can upgrade the old software without having the newer hardware

I prefer the 2015 screen. The 2016 screen looks like windows 10 and will need a CTRL-ALT-DEL every 5 minutes!

That new interface is part of the NBT Evo platform. It's a completely different set of hardware from the original NBT.

You can't simply update the NBT to that interface, you have to replace the entire navigation system with the NBT Evo hardware.

Here is some information from BMW Blog about the new interface/hardware:

I am not sure if the information at the end of the article is completely accurate, as I have seen and heard from multiple sources that the late production X3s will in fact have the updated hardware. I also posted a thread about this on the forum.

If anyone has any information, I would love to hear about it.
