The 8.5 os and feature differences are not known at this time. You can say about every 6 months something is going to change and be upgraded. BMW is constantly releasing new hardware to provide more features. Every BMW I have had in the past has had this cycle.
The April release was worth waiting for as it was a major service pack catchup. Not sure what 8.5 will provide. BMW just announced a new HUD coming out soon.
My advice is order now if you want a car now. If you really don't need a car now wait until more is known about 8.5.
