iDrive 8.5
I recently bought a 2024 M340 and has iDrive 8. Was wondering how we can check if the hardware will eventually be able to support iDrive 8.5?
Or I wonder if there will be a way in the future to do a software update via a third party as older F30s were able to update to ID6 from ID4. |

The new operating system 8.5 will only be available in vehicles with the HU-H5 head unit.
Customers that have BMW Operating System 8 with the HU-H4 head unit WILL NOT be able to move to BMW Operating System 8.5. Also, due to the multiple hardware, software and wiring harness changes, a retrofit option from the HU-H4 head unit to the HU-H5 head unit WILL NOT be possible. |

Having owned cars with 7, 8 and 8.5 recently, it's a real shame that BMW can't be bothered to deliver an upgrade to idrive 8. Even if some of the functionality can't be supported, I find it hard to believe they couldn't deliver an 8.1 so that we can benefit from the improved user interface - particularly the button locations along the bottom.

No need to check anything, all g2x have it from 07/2022 to 06/2024 build dates. From 07/2024, they will be built with the MGU22 ( head unit high 5, idrive 8.5) |

Hello,
Does anyone know which head unit (MGU21 vs MGU22) and ID is currently being equipped in G20? I have m340i on assembly line this week (03/2024) and my Salesman told me that I'll get 8.5 ID. I thought they wanted to change that in LCI2 in July. |
