I have IDrive 7 and do not have a problem with it, but I would like the option on upgrading as new version are released. Given the hardware involved from IDRIVE 7 forward, which seems to be blank screens with a controller, I do not understand why the change from IDrive 7 to 8 would require a hardware change. Sure IDrive 8 has a long curved screen, but this is really two screens connected. So why does BMW not just allow the software update that provides the same functionality. I know the argument of BMW wants you to buy new cars, but not everyone will and it would be a nice plus for the brand.
