Based on the hardware support, we have a reason to rejoice
I mean it's not impossible, but highly unlikely. BMW representatives have previously stated in interviews that ID8 U11 vehicles are not compatible with ID9, and that the X1 would not be getting 8.5 at all. After seeing the many complaints about iD9 here, I'm perfectly happy with staying on ID8. Everything that I use daily works without issue, though I am a bit disappointed that as an early production model there are not many options in the Connected Drive store for me to add on compared to current production vehicles.
