Is this version available on bmw ix 2023 xdrive50?

By the way, any idea how to remove the song/artist notifications after you set them on iDrive? I accidentally added the Beatles to notifications on SiriusXM. I didn't realize they have a dedicated channel so I now get a notification every couple minutes on another Beatles song. It's very annoying and I cannot find a way to remove it. Any ideas? Thank you!!!

Thx so much for this! The main problem I have with this new layout is you’re have with a completely new way of interacting with the car and no one tells you how to use it! This is priceless! When you understand the thinking behind it it all becomes clear… great job!

Are the Shortcut configurable? I would like to have on the right side the navigation and on the left in two smaller Widgets the Vehiclestatus with the fuel-economy and in the second the media. Is this possible ? Tanks for the video as a hopefully soon bmw x1 owner I’m looking forward to OS9

Thank you. I searched for days to change the background from the map to music ... By the way is there a way to change the widgets on the left side of the home screen

I have 2023 4 series do i get it like can i update it or only 2024 models have it?

What is the version of iDrive8.5 do you show here? I see you have a lot more tiles(widgets) on the left than what I have. I saw a clock and weather tile when you were scrolling and I do not have this (I have version 07/2023.67). Also the main screen that you pull from the right I also have only 3 selections (Navigation, Live Vehicle, Media) and you seem to have 2 additional ones (My Modes and Weather)...

How did you get the Youtube app on your system?

Hi i have x6 2024 and still no OTA update to idrive 8.5, when will it be released?

[javierjimenez]

I prefer the Idrive version that comes with the F80, was it Idrive 4 or 5?

[cinnamonrage]

Will this eventually come to the BMW 3-series 2023/24 LCI?

[techwhizard]

When will it be released as an update for existing iX1?

[NichoD]

Man I wish this were available on my 2019

[pavan]

Does this come with the BMW M3 G80s of 2023 and 2024?

[MohamedQureshi]

So, since you have tried both, does a BMW really have bad reliability after 120, 000 kilometers or miles, and is driving a Lexus boring compared to a BMW? Sorry for the long post.So, since you have tried both, does a BMW really have bad reliability after 120, 000 kilometers or miles? Is driving a Lexus boring compared to a BMW? Sorry for the long delay. Which one is more comfortable on the road because I love Lexus and hate driving a BMW? What do you think? Is Lexus bad compared to BMW?Do you mean that Lexus is better than BMW in driving or what? Please clarify

[stephanever]

Youtube! Can I get it to my i4 2023, if so how?

[xanderunderwoods]

too much in the home screen. Lack of hard buttons for essentials really kills any desire for any new bmw, and not only is it completely illogical it's also a very dangerous.

Is there a trick for turning off regeneration completely?
