When have any of the iDrive versions been able to be upgraded?

I highly doubt it be available as a update/upgrade on existing cars.

Dopaul · 09-06-2018, 06:07 PM

Curious as well!

Hey bmw can you confirm what this guy is saying?

Zeroblade · 09-06-2018, 08:20 PM

Surprised a car maker beat google/amazon to change the activation word of their assistant first.

Definitely going with Jarvis. Also hoping next year's X3M has this.

jmh600cbr · 09-06-2018, 09:07 PM

that interior looks so futuristic and advanced, what car is it?

bluewater328 · 09-06-2018, 09:34 PM

Should be better than the bitch with an attitude now that tells me to "Please speak! Please say your request now." with the broken english commands.

They should waste less time buildings things that will be crap compared to Apple and Amazon and focus on putting The damn screen into the dash properly

Germans are not software engineers. Stick to making the cars not look like everything else.

I think there's a very low chance that existing cars will be updated to support this.

It says so in the video.

Jcon157 · 09-06-2018, 10:20 PM

Who else on here is going to make their assistant respond to the name "KITT"??

Looks like an 8 series.

Mingwan · 09-06-2018, 10:33 PM

Curious about the depth of information this PA can provide the user.

It will be incredibly unique if say, BMW enhances their PA for their M cars to act as some kind of driving instructor that also provides the car’s feedback audibly rather than flashing indicators or icons.

PhiTauBill · 09-06-2018, 10:47 PM

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Picking up my first BMW (a M3 with competition package through ED) in October, so just wanted to understand whether it was a possibility.

Aaaaaaaaa · 09-06-2018, 11:40 PM

Probably will require iDrive 7 and looking back it's not easy to upgrade previous versions of iDrive to current ones.

bluewater328 · 09-07-2018, 03:01 AM

My probable conversation with the new BMW friendly interface:

"Your rear taillights are out for the third time this year; please fix"

Take me to AutoZone.

"Using BMW original parts will ensure your lights last another 3 months...would you like me to set an appointment with your nearest BMW dealership now?"

Take me to my independent BMW mechanic.

"BMW offers a 2-year warranty on all work performed as well as a full parts warranty due to our authorized and trained specialists. BMW dealerships cannot guarantee workmanship for nor guarantee the warranty status for repairs made outside of the BMW dealership network. Are you sure you would like me to go to your independent mechanic?"

Yes

"Please reconsider. Where would you like to go?"

Go to hell.

"Routing you to A-U-D-I D-E-A-L-E-R-S-H-..."

Yes, yes I get it, you don't have to friggin' spell it, Audi har har, just take me to...

"Please speak. Would you like to go to A-U-D-I D-E-...."

Man, you're more annoying than Siri and the last interface!

"System off"

Good luck with that. Some 2018 M cars don't even have some of the newer base models' features.
