Has it been confirmed that the first US July deliveries will have the old dash, and then productions one month later in August will start the new dash? Not seeing the logic in producing a small intro batch with the old software instead of just making the entire new model launch with the new.

So you really getting one? You aren't going to miss your meaty 325 rears on our X5M beasts?!?! IDK, what I'm doing...
I'm torn, but if this Thread is accurate, there is no way I'd order one before Aug 2018 production.

Video is for X5 but no different for X3 and other BMW models. skip to :20 mark. You can see one person installing the whole dash and when the arm is retracted all the parts (instrument cluster, etc) are already installed on the dash. Last edited by note46; 02-17-2019 at 12:50 PM.. |

I'm thinking about the X3 M as well. I don't have kids (yet) and I don't really need the luggage storage, but I like the car. Sure it's not perfect... no laser lights yet, no wider M-body (which is common on the M SUVs, though), the wheels aren't full silver and the tires aren't that wide, which obviously is your main concern. But I like it more than I thought and there just aren't that many other cars I'd consider to replace my M3, so... |

Has it been confirmed that the new "dash" is to include the entire dash assembly or just the new instrument cluster (and iDrive 7.0)?
I just can't fathom the entire dash being updated. It would be virtually unprecedented in the world of BMW LCIs. Would love if that was the case, though. I quite like the new dashes on the G05 and G20.

So at this point my choice would be to take delivery in October assuming I do go with X3M this year. I'm guessing 2 months production to Seattle area delivery in Oct would line me up to be in between potential changes at August production. I'm still not totally convinced that anything will change but from what we know, should I care about idrive 6 vs 7? I'm pretty ambivalent to any gauge cluster screen changes.

Also, FYI to anyone who says this is unprecedented. BMW has done iDrive updates mid model year before. Notably the 17F80. .
