If your vehicle has the updated head unit, it can go to 8.5. If it does not, it cannot.
For the iX in particular, it's my understanding vehicles manufactured on or after 3/2023 will have the updated head unit, and are eligible for 8.5 via software update. Those manufactured before this date will not be eligible for 8.5.
I believe the i7 has the updated head unit in all builds, and that should work as well.
For the i4, I have no information...
