BMW OPERATING SYSTEMS.
The all-electric iX1 and BMW Plug-in Hybrid models feature BMW Operating System 8, whilst the all X1 petrol and diesel models feature the new BMW Operating System 9 (from April 2023 production).

Interesting, looks like we might miss out on ID9 as we have a Hybrid on order; I'm not sure what to think, the pictures made the new ID9 look quite fussy by comparison to ID8 and less simple.

Not sure that is a good thing for a car but let's wait to see what it actually looks like in reality. Also in the past ID8 has had bugs at the beginning, not sure what it will be like for the new one will people feel like a beta tester maybe.

I was at the dealer today, I have iX1 on order.
He had been on an idrive 9 course, was told not all X1 variants were getting it, no one seems to know why.
He checked and sent me copy of BMW notes
He thinks the new 5 series is getting it too

The new 5 is expected 2024...for the X1 ID9 will start Q2 forward but who know which model series with so many defects ID version might be the last thing to consider

Personally, I'd hold out for ID10...bound to be way better than ID9

instead of just software in new version,I want this new X1 with the optional fog generator / anti-theft/carjacker device:

Hmmm...not sure why they chose to blow steam around the vehicle...guess it's a low-budget reveal....as for the anti-carjacking device...you're from the U.S...don't you open/carry?

Not everywhere in the US is open or concealed carry, it varies based on state/county law.

Where on the UK BMW site do you find this?

[MontyB1]

I think it might have been in the Website brochure that you get, no PDF these days just a link to a site (which they take an age to update normally as it still shows prices pre price increase). This listed in the standard tech equipment from memory.

I’ve ordered a 30e so wondering why it’s still only getting the idrive 8?

I suspect some of the brain that controls the car hasn't been moved and engineered for ID9 yet. The current Petrol / Diesel cars in the UK are advanced 'Pilot / Beta' test customers helping the world out.

That will either lead to this is amazing wait until you all get it or OMG the bugs are killing the ownership experience you should be glad you don't have it, or somewhere in-between.

I am in the same situation, but there is no such update in the specs here in Greece.
Perhaps you can ask your dealer or BMW UK about it.

[Pganders]

Of course it might be a blessing to have ID8 depending on what glitches ID9 rolls out with!

[JFDIT]

If I weren't thinking of keeping mine for a good few years I'd have wanted ID8. Reckon I'll have a good few bugs as an early adopter.

We will know that as soon as we can test it.
However, since ID8 is not upgradable to ID9, I would prefer to have the most updated version.

I wouldn't be too fearful of ID8 and just getting that. It seems that many new cars even the new 5 is going to get ID8 not ID9 certainly at the start. Why I don't know but I thought that was what was being suggested so there will be a LOT of models still on ID8 across the BMW range.

The only thing need to worry in future is the software updates. Because some models are having ID8 in the beginning, and newer models are having ID9. Wonder how they are going to manage 2 versions of software updates for 1 model. Usually in IT industry the preference will always be for latest version, and the old version will receive only bug fixes. Not sure how it's going to be in car industry.
