2017 F32 vs 2018 F32 LCI iDrive and Suspension changes?

mdai245 · 01-19-2017, 03:33 PM

I got a 2017 because I predicted lci would only involve angel eye update

and led tail lights since we already get the b58, iDrive 5.0 and suspension tweeks on the 2017.

Looking over the LCI notes, it looks like they updated the iDrive and suspension again?

Can anyone confirm that these are real changes and not just restating some stuff already existing on the 2017?

LCI will have Idrive 6 vs Idrive 5 in 2017
Idrive 5 was said to be a short lived version from its launch

AS for the suspension changes I am waiting for the parts system to be hopefully updated next month with the LCI so we can see the changes.

iDrive 6 seems like a very discrete launch since I cant seem to find info about it anywhere except for one guy who flashed his F80 with it. I guess time will tell if iDrive 6 is anything special or worth retrofiting.

I am enjoying iDrive 5 though, especially the natural language voice controls which are actually useful now.

Have you been able to confirm if the 2018 F32 comes with iDrive 6 and touch screen? Just ordered one but still 6 weeks out from delivery.

New iDrive but not touch screen.

Must be a US thing then, because my F32 was delivered in August and has touchscreen.
