Yep. Got mine the day before yesterday but haven't updated the car yet. I will probably do that this weekend.
I did notice that the change logs only show three things (other than bug fixes) that have changed for iDrive 7. All the rest of the changes are for iDrive 8 only. It tells you at the bottom of each of the changes for the update if it's for iDrive 8 only. BMW calls iDrive 8 "OS8" and not "iDrive 8".
The three updates that affect iDrive 7 vehicles are:
"Lane Departure Warning: Adjustment of the warning signal."
"Lane Departure Warning: Optimized steering intervention for for increased driving comfort."
"Improved quality: Display of the current vehicle data in the My BMW App."
Everything else applies only to iDrive 8/OS8.
The million dollar question is: What did they break that was working before this update? I will be sure to post what I find over the coming weeks and months. I would be willing to wager that they for sure broke at least one thing as part of this update. I would love to be proven wrong when it comes to updates with BMW. It just seems to be in their nature to break something with their updates.
