Yes, but BMW, like all the German car makers, is very consistent. They're not going to introduce a fully new tech design for for just one model (and certainly not just for this model). If there's something radically new coming - and this horrifying picture seems to indicate there is - I would expect BMW to introduce it on the next 7er, like the original iDrive and then trickle it out with the next generation of the other models. But this pic is very worrying, not only because of the lack of buttons and controller knob, but also because of that "shifter".  |
As you mentioned- new tech never starts at the bottom of the food chain. Unless it's well hidden in other models, I don't expect to see it first in a an entry level, region only type of vehicle. Unless it's a part of the i4 or iNext platform and being tested in other ways.
