Only to be told late tonight my car has a delivery hold on it for this issue!
My M550 suddenly showed up at my dealer Thursday morning with no further info provided. So I suppose she got the all clear after a week and a half at the VPC.

Those of you that have recently taken delivery of a new M550 (or any G30, I guess) - just curious, did you get iDrive 6 or 7?

There seem to be conflicting predictions (and few reports) about:
  • Whether the Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster (in 2019 G30s) can display the new (more angular) format, or just the traditional rings (all-digital rings, without the plastic); and
  • Whether the new angular cluster format is a "required" component of ID7, or whether ID7 will work on cars that only support the rings (with or without the Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster).

Thanks!

2019's come with iDrive 6 and when you get dynamic digital cluster there are no rings. Also, sport mode is now all white cluster.

Thanks for the info and pic! The iDrive 7 UI (at least, on the head unit display, if not the cluster) looks like a significant step forward, so that would've been nice. As a current ID4 user tho, I'm sure ID6 will feel like an upgrade.

This might be a good topic for a separate post, as it's not related to the oil pan issue, and you'll probably get more replies.

You're right - I was way off-topic. My question's answered, so I don't feel the need to expand the discussion, but I appreciate the gracious, diplomatic way in which you pointed that out. What a great example!
