update 03/2023.67
this was a first for me ---> it required driving while it was uploaded from my mobile (where it was already downloaded); then, when the car preloaded it, the installation started only when the vehicle was parked and secured.

The only thing I have ever noticed was the chime with the speed camera warning addition.
However that happened outwith a software update somehow.... And the heating sort of improved after the last update few months ago...I think |

well, I felt the car a bit changed. Like I have earned 10 horsepower in comfort mode
really, not joking... and also the steering a bit more sensible; again, in the comfort mode. |

Hello all,
I am not yet an iX3 owner, but it is already ordered and manufactured. The car already under relocation from production location to me. By reading this thread some doubts found me. Such an investment usually not made for few years only. Moreover I am missing some features so much what are available in OS8. I add my personal whites by importance order below: - Charging limit "%" adjustment from MyBMW app - Battery charging level in "%" view on dashboard - Charging current (Amper) adjustment from MyBMW app I think all of those features independent from HW differences between OS7 and OS8. But based on the posts I read here, I have the feeling there is even no chance to get such minor improvements. Does anyone have any contact to BMW support/ customer service to raise the question about the support plans for OS7? Despite high amount of iX3 sold nowadays with OS7, I have the feeling the EV aspects of OS7 not in focus. EV aspects considered in OS8 development only. If I am right, it is not a wise move to buy an iX3 in 2023 octocbe. |

The battery % view would be nice, but you can get a fairly good estimate on the "fuel gauge" on the dash. I have only changed the charging current twice - when using the adapter to go into a normal power socket. You are at the vehicle to plug it in, so it isn't a problem to make the change in the vehicle, as opposed to the app. For all the other benefits that the car has, I would consider these to be extremely minor disadvantages. |

The battery level is shown on the display in % just not a digital readout and as stated above you could just ask the car but you can read the left display quite accurately to within 5% when you get used to it.

What is disturbing for me, I do not see any HW limitation to introduce this three features. Okay, I can imagine, there will be no new dashboard designed for OS7 to show Battery changing level by "%". |

I'd feel much worse if I was on OS8, since it's been abandoned after such a short while. At least OS7 has received updates for years. |

Absolutely. And OS7 continues to receive updates. There is no obligation on the manufacturer to continue to provide updates, other than bug and security fixes. None of my older cars were upgraded by the manufacturer for the life of the vehicle... It would have been nice to receive an upgrade from tape to CD!!!
