All of that aside, as said above, manufacturers do not give anything away. Why would you buy a newer car/LCI if they simply updated existing models to match?
Gotcha - makes sense. I haven't spent much time with ID7 in person so only have online pictures to go off of. I don't really want ID7 actually, was more just curious about the compatibility.

I agree that BMW (or any business with a brain) will look for ways to monetize new tech anytime they can.
