All the new cars are mainly based on the new technology that they implement and the main Human-Machine interface is the multimedia system, therefore the operation system of the multimedia device is not trivial and secondary issue. I am also worried about the new functionalities that ID9 may have, which by all means will not be ported to ID8. |

Wanting to always have the latest is not necessarily a good thing. Think about all the early 'adopters' who had the buggy version of ID8...only with early adoption of ID9, it's likely to be worse given the change in platform. Why else is bmw being selective about which vehicles will get ID9? Oh, and while access to the Play store will eventually be pretty cool, it will only serve to complicate matters in the immediate term, especially for non-techs, trust me. You're already seeing some of that with ID8...
Be careful what you wish for...

EDIT: why the rush anyway? Didn't most peeps buy this vehicle for performance, handling, (some) reliability? It's just sw for your infotainment...sadly that's become the driving factor in buying a vehicle these days. Honestly will id__ really improve your life behind the wheel? I mean REALLY?

The term infotainment is outdated. It is about the “control system” of the car. This system actually sets the driving modes, while the “driving assistant” can totally control the car behavior in self-driving mode and the parking assistant sets the correct maneuvers for car parking. All these functionalities are controlled by the “infotainment” through the corresponding operational system, thus it is not a trivial issue as I mentioned previously. It is not a matter of some fancy icons, but if the ID8 is going to be the “old BMW system” then you will soon end up with a vehicle with less functionalities and support. |

That said I wonder how many folks here who are wishing for id9 will be back here in ~6 months complaining how buggy it is....there are complaints already on some of the other forums. Again, opinion only. Agree or disagree.

Wondering what it was you were specifically after with id9? You don't have to answer, just curious

For me it guarantees longer term Software Updates. Bugs will be rectified due to it being rolled out across the range. ID8 is to get a cosmetic update to ID8.5 so it "looks" the same as ID9, but 8.5 is a sunset system, ultimately unsupported for new features.

Listen, I get versions change. My comments are based solely on the fact that there are folks out there seemingly bent out of shape because they ordered their vehicle too soon w/o knowing about the next great ID version.... It's unlikely you'll be driving this vehicle more than 3 or 4 years anyway....by then it'll be id14

ID8 has issues, hopefully they fix that too instead of moving the entire focus to ID9. And nowadays everywhere including the suspension/auto start is controlled by softwares, even mercedes have implemented subscription feature if you need more power from engine etc. So there "might" be goodies, which ID8 "may" not get. |

You say ID8 is fine and ID9 will be buggy. Supposing this is true, what exactly is the point here? This is always the case for new-generation products, but technology never turns back. The potential bugs will be soon fixed and all the new X1s will implement ID9. Do you really want to buy a product that you know will be “previous generation” and not upgradable? Would you ever buy a PC running windows 10, knowing that it cannot be upgraded to windows 11, just because windows 10 is OK? |

The point is ID9 is on the Android architecture rather than Linux of the previous versions. This means two significantly different development streams, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out where BMW will spend their development euros.

While I tend to be an early adopter of tech, I’m actually not too bothered by having iDrive9. When I think about it, how much more functionality could they add just by switching the OS without adding any additional hardware? As far as I know, only the head unit is changing. And lots of cars are still running iDrive8 in the near future, so there will be support and updates for at least the next few years. I know they are adding an App Store, but it would most likely be native apps that I already use on CarPlay. I’ll reserve judgement until it actually starts arriving on vehicles and people have had time to compare the two.

Switching from x86 to ARM is a big saving for BMW. With mass production, this architecture is much cheaper. Changing the OS to Android Automotive means additional savings, because the system itself is developed by Google, and BMW will only adapt it to its cars. |
