I'm not sure about 8.5, and this is the first time I've really heard about it.

8.5 Seems to be a mostly UI update. It makes accessing menu's faster by giving popups instead of having to go into complete sub-menus. The most useful thing looks to be having popups for Climate options like Fan speed, Heated seats/wheel etc. From what I've read and tried to understand 8.5 is essentially the UI of 9 but without some features that require the new hardware.
Would be nice to know if cars are going to get it or not.
