Idrive update?

Mark444444 · 09-04-2016, 10:47 AM

Hey All,
I'm starting to see the 2017 models with the new idrive system. I know it includes gesture control which my 2014 535 isn't capable of. My question is whether we will see an update as far as the aesthetics and non-gesture related functions.

Thanks!

I doubt it.

You will never see an update that includes new features of that magnitude.

For one thing, you don't have the processor or gesture sensor (camera).

For another, BMW refuses to upgrade new features.

Essentially, once BMW introduces a new model support for the previous one stops in terms of updates and upgrades to software that are not a "bug". So to get the new features you will need to get the car as well.

So far only the new 7 series has the gesture control. And I believe it's a hardware change to get the iDrive 5.0 that other 2017 models gets.
Don't think the f10 will get iDrive 5.0 before the end of production soon.

Some details from the F15 forum, check the following press releases

I don’t see BMW introducing the i-drive 5 to a model with production due to stop in couple months!
