Now why BMW was not ready to jump straight to ID6 software from ID4 even though the hardware was ready to go seems like either poor planning or bad luck with testing....

I ordered a 2019 X3 M40i because I liked ID6 better than ID7. Turns out I missed a 2019 order by a week so I had to get a 2020 w ID7. Very, very happy to have ID7. There is some customization via bimmercode (Alpina display is peachy). Besides, who ever looks at the center display anyway? I use the HUD and the nav display w/ Waze on it. All the instrument cluster serves is to show me how much gas I have and what song is playing.

I guess the X3M gets the M8 display on this version.

I wouldn't look at the map on the cluster anyway. That's what the HUD is for IMO when I actually use the turn by turn nav directions. |

Meh
Having a 2018 X3 M40i (hers) and my 2020 X3M, I like that they have the same interface. I had a loaner X3 for a day, with the new "backward" tach and updated iDrive. It was different and to me not a improvement but just different. Not horrible but I prefer a traditional looking tach.
I'm sure its nice once you have it but having a common interface is better for me. |

I just like to buy the newest model. Anyway, you'll never be able to keep up with all the yearly updates. Two things would really piss me off if they came with the 21' model; a performance increase the way they did it with X3 M40i or a full Merino leather interior.

Really hate the new digital dash. They really have to redesign them.

Its weird that BMW of all brands, one thats considered a pioneer of automotive tech, sometimes just can't get the little things right, like the digital gauges.

This exists these day's (Active Sound on, toned down or off).
It's in the lowly M135i and I assume M235i. I'd expect to see it across the ranges with each update now.

Sucks that they didn't adapt similar displays as m8
Can't stand these semi circles

I haven't followed BMW for a few years prior to getting the X3M last month. Missed out on ID7, but eh, doesn't matter to me. I still enjoy the current iDrive setup as it was when I had a F80..

I'd settle on screen share if they allowed it to be used while in motion. Maybe there's a way to code it.
It's ok I guess. None of my cars have android auto except my wifes . Hell, 80K car with 30 cameras and I can't even get remote start either. |
