Does the new iDrive 7 and Live Cockpit Pro mean that the "Hey BMW" voice commanding is now supported? That is actually something I am looking to have, as to my experience it works well.

Another feature I have been hoping for is BMW Drive Recorder to replace a need for a dash cam, but I wonder if that will be available with iDrive 7? It is pretty incredible that such systems are not available across all models in year 2020.

Finally, I was really hoping for some new color options, as I do find the only two colors Phytonic Blue and Toronto Red fairly unexciting tones. I guess new colors won't available before proper life-cycle update.
I just had a 2020 X3 M40i as a loaner while having my 1,200 mile break-in service performed on Friday.

It was equipped with iD7 and had "Hey BMW" feature. iD7 was a "stripped" version from what you find in the other 5, and 8 models. No remote start and I'm sure it didn't have drive recorder, although, I didn't check.

Assuming this is what the 2021 F9X will be equipped with.
