2023 vs 2024 I7
Hi all, I have googled with no luck. Does anyone know the difference in these 2 model years?
Wife has given permission to let the X7 go for an I7 😍 so I thought it would be worth looking into. Have not decided. Doing a VS model year is a good start.

Android, Lidar, IDRIVE 9 and maybe a few small build options

Thank you for that. My favorite sales manager did not know, but he wanted me to get the 2024 as well. He had a couple of 23s but he said he did not want me to be a beta tester :-)

Not to impugn your veracity but this is the first time I've heard anything about iDrive 9. I certainly read before that the 2024 G70s come with the iDrive 8.5 but haven't heard of it going to iDrive 9. But if so, GREAT! Would you be able to post a link to your source on that? I'd enjoy reading about it and what the difference is! Thx!

IDRIVE 9 is using the Android platform. Looks identical to 8.5 except it’ll have an application store.

iDrive9 is not available yet except for X1, upcoming iX1 and the 2 series. BMW released a press release about it a few weeks ago. No word on when the G70 will get it..

Once everyone understands the requirements of IDrive 9, then the light bulb will come on to which vehicles are capable of getting it. My 23 740i won’t get it but 24’s have all the necessary workings for it. |

IDrive 9 will not be available for G70 like it is for the X1 and other first cars. iDrive 9 is only going to be for smaller screen cars, like the X1 and without controller. Don’t think of iDrive 9 as the next iDrive system over iDrive 8 or 8.5 like you would with iDrive 7 to iDrive 8. They are side by side, and used in different platforms at essentially the same software level.

Idrive 9 is still brand new and of course it will go to other models soon in other iterations, but that information has yet to fully come out as we barely just started iDrive 8.5 on newest curved display vehicles. |

You have no other choice to be near sighted on this since you don’t have or unable to get the info I have. It’s totally understandable.
