IDrive 6.0 in G20

Does anyone have the G20 with Idrive 6.0 ? I may not be able to get the Msport on my company policy and in the UK the ID7 is only available on that model.

So I was just wondering
1. Does it feel big enough?
2. Can you get split screen
3 . Do you get the standard voice commands using the button.

At the minute I am driving a G31 with ID6 and think I could cope with the smaller screen as long as it has all of the other functionalities.

Cheers.

Sounds like BMW is working backwards if that is the case. I am assuming that the gauges aren't digital either? G20 is marketing the iDrive 7 as its selling point.

The instrument cluster is digital but its the same as in the current 5 series. In the UK on the 3 series only the M sport gets iDrive 7 and it is not an option on any other model. Frustrating.

I confirm about iDrive 6.0 is installed on "standard" G20s.
Only if you buy the the Cockpit Professional you get iDrive 7.0.

Confirmation is also coming from the address www.bmw.com/update where apparently only the iDrive 6.0 cars will get the update file.

1 - I had a 320ED with standard screen, my G20 'Sport' has ID 6 so I think its an improvement on what I had !

2 - split screen yes - annoyingly track art work via Spotify works from my daughter's iPhone but not my Android phone. Can't upload a picture of this but more than happy to email a picture if you need it - just pm, me

3 - don't think this works, I am sure I tried it soon after getting the car and disappointed it never worked - scrub this, tried it tonight - yes it does work at least to call a number in phone memory...

hope this helps

Thanks for the info. I went for the 320d sport touring in the end. Good to hear that the voice activation works as well. I use this a lot.
