July 19 build spec

Is anyone driving a July 2019 build - they updated the iDrive to 7 but the spec is confusing. E.g. The new 3 series and other models have the Intelligent Personal Assistant but the July Price List for the G30 only has Intelligent Voice Control that the 3 series etc. also have. The IPA is the function where you use “hey BMW”.

The Reversing Assistant doesn’t seem to be available nor the Drive Recorder.

It looks like they may be holding these functions back for the next upgrade although allowed other new functions such as the ‘arc’ dash

It's already known that the 2020 G30 iDrive7 is more like iDrive7 lite. Most likely BMW will close the gap and be on par with the G20, G05, etc. starting with MY2021.

The G30 seems to be missing some iDrive 7 features. What all of them are hasn't been compiled into a list yet. Additionally, no one knows what will come via updates (if anything does get added via updates).

There are some users on here who have received the MY2020 530e who may be able to answer some questions. One post recently noted that they have the button for IPA, but it shows up as "Not Available" in their car.

My MY2020 530e was built in September and should be in my hands in a few weeks. I'll try to post a list when mine arrives of how "lite" the iDrive 7 in the MY2020 G30 is, but if you get yours before I do it would be good if you posted instead.

Will do, although I am not expecting mine until late Oct
