How did you get the RUclips app on there, and the other custom apps? Do you need the eSim? Hack android auto? Is it also available on xdrive50 without M package?
Thanks much Horatiu. As a soon iX owner, this one was very helpful! In fact your whole series you are now doing on your press iX M60 are subscribed too. TU!
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!
@@bmwblog thank you, I'm saving to buy a e60 m5, but.LCI models are rare to find and 2010 models (the one that comes with CIC).are even harder to find, anyways, thank u for the content
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
@@bmwblog I had a look at the press releases and they don’t mention the G20 LCI models. Is there a press release from them somewhere? I am on the verge of getting a new 330e and am curious if it’ll get the 8.5 update.
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!!!
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)...
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
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
Waaaaaay 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.
Sport mode in shortcuts…😎 good job bro

It's not for all markets
@@bmwblog is it available for all of US ? I am going to try it. It would be cool is it works

I prefer the Idrive version that comes with the F80, was it Idrive 4 or 5?
That's iDrive 6

The older systems were vastly superior
How did you get the RUclips app on your system?
It was there with the last OTA update

Unfortunately not yet. Apparently in a future upgrade
Will this eventually come to the BMW 3-series 2023/24 LCI?
Yes

Ps. Great video though - I love infotainment details so this content is right up my street 😂
When will it be released as an update for existing iX1?
iX1 gets iDrive 9. I think it started with November production
@@bmwblog but what OS upgrade will be available m for existing iX1 owners whose builds came with OS8?
@@techwhizard unless you have the right head unit, you won't get it
Hi i have x6 2024 and still no OTA update to idrive 8.5, when will it be released?
I don't know the release schedule. I would ask the dealer
You can’t have it for that car
super helpful thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

I'll take a look. I also just got another update.
Thank you@@bmwblog I actually did hard restart and some of these tiles did show up. But I am still curious what version you have. Thank you!
I have 2023 4 series do i get it like can i update it or only 2024 models have it?
I think only 2024 models do. I saw it in some i4s

You mean quick select?
@@bmwblog yes quick select
Thank you.
Can you lock it in dark mode?
How did you downloaded you tube ?
It's only available in certain markets
@bmwblog and what's the markets names please 🙏
Man I wish this were available on my 2019
I hear you
Does this come with the BMW M3 G80s of 2023 and 2024?
That's the rumor.
Is there a trick for turning off regeneration completely?
RUclips! Can I get it to my i4 2023, if so how?
If you have the proper head unit, then an OTA is possible
Please send the link for download the you tube app
I have i5 how can i get youtube ? :(
It might be country specific

I prefer the looks of idrive 8
Why though? Which part?
So it has RUclips, can it watch RUclips and Netflix like TESLA>>>>?>>>
Only static, not while in motion

I get this sentiment, but it’s even easier to use the voice activated assistant in all of these new cars, which in theory is easier than buttons.
