That may be it but using your paying customers as beta testers is certainly discouraging. These are very expensive vehicles to begin with!

Nevertheless, doesn't seem BMW is overly worried about using owners as beta testers. I'm quite sure they'd rather things just work properly without all the frantic emergency software development to fix show stoppers, such as the Live Cockpit Pro going black in early G05.

I am surprised they are introducing the new instrument cluster and idrive at this moment; I would have thought such an update would be part of the LCI changes...

Adding iDrive 7 and new engine(s) the year before LCI is likely an effort to improve 5 series sales.

Another one with a February 2017 iD6. No issues, but I've had my firmware upgraded to the latest version in March 2019.

Unfortunately I couldn't tell you. I bought the car as a used approved BMW vehicle so I only had a brief play before the update was done....

Anybody know if it would be possible to code stuff with something like this binmercode with idrive 7?
Wondering this since this like updates over the air etc. Its much more connected to BMW. Would they get a note on the car profile if you change things and that might be creating problems in case for warranty or maybe a leased car etc. Or maybe it's ok but gets overwritten by over the air updates and resets. Anyone know something about this? I'm picking up my 2020 530e in 2 weeks and already got stuff I want coded. |

Coding is just changing parameters of those other computers, so it's likely that most of coding will remaining functional with IDrive 7. IDrive specific coding features may or may not remain valid to change, and I doubt anyone will know this for sure until someone tries it. You might considering looking around for coding forums to ask this question, or see what other people have said. Bimmerfest.com has a coding forum there, I don't think there's one here (though I could very well be wrong). |

Of course now the question is what we can expect for the LCI update next year... Hope they don't leave us out standing out in the cold for the LCI interior update |

Not sure yet since we haven't heard details from 2020 owners, but it seems like the iDrive 7 implementation for 2020 might be hamstringed. Most info out there indicates no reverse assistant, no drive recorder, no remote start....So, until we know for sure, seems 2021 LCI will be a full implementation of iDrive 7 with the Driver Assistant pro camera to watch the drivers eyes, revised ACC with a bit more autonomous driving capability (like X5), digital key, etc.. Obviously speculation on my part.... One thing I sure hope they do is rework the wireless tray so a Galaxy S9/10+ phone fits in the tray properly. It does fit in a G20 3 series so my bet is an enlarged tray is coming to the 5 LCI.

I have a 2018 540ix that is being reapired (a long story in and of itself).
I was given a 2020 330ix is ID7! I am so confused by ID7, the entire ergonomics have changed and, in my view, NOT for the better. Very very confusing! |

Good to know because it is driving me crazy. What were they think? Why make this so non-intuitive!
When my lease is up in 9 months I may move to another brand after years of BMW because the ergonomics are truly awful! |
