Yeah I have cars with 7 / 8 and 8.5. 8.5 has a better climate system, fixed my gripe with the heated seats on the 8 always being on screen. 8 though is better for a home screen perspective the tiles are better. 7 is the easiest to use, still will go down as the best I've ever used, but the screen size is smaller on most models and looks less impressive.
Overall all have pros and cons. I think the 8 WILL be updated at some point with some 8.5 features. BMW updates 7 still, 8 is still being sold on new cars so it won't be forgotten yet.
Funny thing about that leather wheel cover comment, I was thinking of waiting for a 2025MY 3 or 4 series to order but that alone is making me consider just getting a 2024.
