Drives: X5 and a X1 m35i on the water

Hey all, I had a xDrive28i on order that arrived in the dealership today. Followed it on Fleetmon as it came thru the Panama Canal 18 days ago. With the news of the release of the M35i I canceled that car and placed a new order. Production slot confirmed first allocation after demo. I'm going to make somebody happy in Seattle when my originally ordered car comes available.
I had wanted the m35 back in March but was told they were unsure when it would begin production. The addition of the extra horsepower, M bits, ID9 and individual paint tipped the scales. Looks like I might get the car in November even with custom paint. What's a couple more months in the grand scheme of things? |

Hi All,
I have another update, with the July-2023 Head units are also getting upgraded to "IDC23" which supports Android based OS ( which possibly means X1 users may get ID9 in future as their hardware supports it). |

As far as I understand, if your headunit contains 5G eSim it should be the IDC23 model.. as that looks to be a major change started rolling out from July onwards and which also indicates that headunit has got an updated hardware.
*we can verify 5G eSim feature from VIN no. |

Looks like my X1, which was completed on July 3/4, does not have that feature. Bummer.

https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=48 pm him with Vin no, somehow he knows a way to tell if your headunit is mgu21/mgu22 or idc23 (Android based id9) ? Please let us know as well if you get any info from him. Last edited by vikas; 07-28-2023 at 06:50 AM.. |

As an aside My system menu says id8 but is id9. There is/was an issue with Dealer Cockpit in which it fails to display the correct operating system. To identify the car on Dealer Cockpit as OS9 you can see against Communication unit and head unit it shows "IDC*. This will only appear for OS9 cars. Apparently WAVElow_IDChighf equals id9.
After a couple of early issues connecting Carplay my id9 is working fine with no issues. |

Mine X1 has prod date as 4th July on mdecoder and headunit details shared by him: "Your i-level is U006-23-07-525 and headunit is IDC" (which is an android based id9 device though I believe initially the software installed should be id8 and probably after November, id9 should come to Australian market) |

Man I really think BMW was diliberate in pulling a bait and switch on the U11. Release a brand new model with nicer finishes than an entry level should have, get the journos in a frenzy calling it a baby X5, then once opinions are formed, quietly do cost cutting. I sort of understood the door sills as they needed to leave something for the m35, but why cheapen the door panels? Why go to that extent? Shameful really.

As I said in another post I would have been a bit miffed if they just left a gaping hole where the glovebox light should be per the photo above. At the very least there should surely be a blanking plate? I’m wondering if this is maybe a quality control issue and it’s just been left out?
I’m just glad I got my car when I did. |
