Do you use voice commands in your BMW? Do you like them more than using the iDrive knob?

[davzer]

Finally someone with insight who shows up all the other reviewers who moan about the lack of a dial controller, well done!
Love the voice control, BMW have done a brilliant job, it’s very robust and intuitive.

As someone with the latest X1 with the tech pack and driving assistance professional, the voice command works fine and means there are very few times you need to touch the screen. Is it perfect no, but neither was the dial in the central console. Embrace the change, it works.

Very helpful video!
1) Does it recognize more than one voice command?
2) Can it self park?

Hi, could you help with some voice commands? I just got new x1 with idrive 9.
All is good with voice command except one thing.
I can't figure it out, what voice command would change air stream from lets say window area, to middle area or feet area. Any tips for that.? Thank you

This is helpful! How do you completely turn off personal assistant? I’ve notice there are times I’m singing in my car and the PA starts talking to me, which interrupts the music. It talks to me without any commands. So I kind of want to turn it off all together. Is that possible?

[bobmac]

Physical buttons and idrive is much easier...example 'hey BMW..open window'. The button is right there...don't think I'd ever say it, if a button is available.

[Ghandle]

Thanks for the video and effort.
Did anyone notice that there is a cut after every voice command and its execution?
I am guessing it's because ID8 takes too much time to process the voice commands. Sometimes up to 5 seconds. Its a nice party trick but its usability is not practical in real life.
IMHO A lot of refinement is required before they can replace hard touch buttons.

Does the i4 have this, and all other BMWs with iDrive 8?

Try “eject seat”……… it has a very German sense of humour 😂

[antoniolatorre]

Do you need to press something to active the BMW voice assistant?

[Dimitriosjm]

Are you able to turn off the engine start-stop system using a voice command?

[S_Paoli]

(speaking as someone who has the X1 on order, this is one of my fears) What if the X1 responds with something like this? "I'm afraid I can't do that. This is Canada. Too cold to open the windows. I will lock the doors and drive you to Florida... then I'll open the windows. Do not try to disable me or else...." (this is why everybody needs one of those little emergency hammers to break car windows just in case) 🙀

3:04 : i have the white one M40i but 21 inches wheels !

[thitinant.s]

I’ll be trying to talk with my new car 😂

[npopson]

It is so disingenuous to be doing a jump cut after every single command to hide the delays and unreliability. Even with iDrive 8, voice commands are so slow and unreliable compared to basically any other (non-car) voice assistant.

[TheGodpharma]

I hope you can turn off the silly responses to the commands. "No problem" and "great choice" etc would drive me mad in no time.

[elenasereix]

The only useful command is to Open /close Root

[nikst]

Who ever use voice commands they are slow and not practical. No controller is a deal breaker. Touch screens should be banned as they are clear distraction.

I ordered my BMW X1 Sdrive20i just 2 days before Xmas (2022)(avoiding the Brussels Autoshow orders mid January). Expected delivery-time (according to the ordering system of BMW dealer) ... January ... 2024 ! (I am living in Belgium - only 700 km away from Regensburg factory in Germany). Have the impression that all intercontinental deliveries have priority !? (Asia, America, Australia)
