That was the point exactly, the UK X1 drivers are being used as a test bed by BMW before the iDrive 9 rollout worldwide.
Android Auto or Carplay-based car OSes are the future, Volvo had similar teething issues with its first Android Auto iteration but is now one of the best car systems to use, hopefully the same with BMW's iDrive 9.
I'm not in UK but hoping to get the iDrive 9 in my 2024 iX1 as I don't want to be stuck in the past with iDrive 8 or 8.5 without any further updates.
