The ninth generation of BMW's iDrive system will be introduced for the new X1, X2 and 2 Series Active Tourer this year
. Each model does away with the iDrive controller that has been part of every new BMW since 2001. However, Grote says it will continue to be a feature of other new upcoming BMW models.
Mini models set to launch in 2023, including the new hatchback and a production version of the Aceman, will also receive the new iDrive 9.0 system, albeit with a specific Mini interface, according to Grote. Current BMW models are due to receive an update to the existing Linux-based iDrive 8.0 operating system. Dubbed iDrive 8.5, it is planned to launch in the upcoming i5 in 2023 before being introduced in the recently launched 7 Series and i7 via a planned OTA.
Grote says iDrive 8.5 will mimic the functionality and interface of the newer Android-based iDrive 9.0 operating system. However, it does without the new app store function.
