No BMW iDrive 6 cars were ever able to be updated to iDrive 7
No BMW iDrive 7 cars were ever able to be updated to iDrive 8
And no BMW iDrive 8 cars will be ever able to be updated to iDrive 8.5.
This is how (sadly) things work for BMW. You want the new UI? Pay a new car.
Even when they released iDrive 6 which was only an updated skin for iDrive 5, they didn’t officially allow any updates and it had to be done via coding. And then you have Teslas from 2012 than in 2023 they still receive the latest UI via OTA updates.
