Next Update to iDrive 7

Anyone know if the 2019 X7 is going to get this update to iDrive? Maybe as an over the air update? Love how the graphic captured the vehicles in the center cluster.

Saw this in the X5 forum, on a new 2020 M50i



I have heard rumors about updates coming, in July & Early August... but have not seen anything posted, and nothing on OTA updates either.

I would assume they would since the X7 and the X5 are basically clones of each other. I just haven't seen anything posted on this forum about it, which I am hoping someone can answer.

since it looks to be more of a software change than anything it SHOULD be able to be pushed out to the 2019 owners. At least you would think 😉

That would be amazing. If not, maybe the dealer might have some insight. Either way, I appreciate the info, and Congrats on the new Truck. It REALLY has been a great car for us, and have enjoyed owning it.

There are many 2019 X7 users in the forum who have upgraded their software to 07/2019.40 etc.

Need to know if anyone of those with that version update gets the same screen like 2020s?

from what I saw in the X5 forums, the 2019 upgraded ones dont have it. Only the 2020 models seem to have this so far

If anyone has an X7 with this and would be open to providing some coding files I can research if it is code able on.

That is so unfair of BMW. They promised the OTA to 2019 users but never did. I got my 2019 X7 in April 2019 and those who are getting their 2020 in August 2019 have new software for the same hardware that we have! So sad BMW!

Calm down man, nothing is definite yet. BMW may surprise us, you never know.

I took delivery of my custom 2019 order from May 2019 after some 2020s were already on the lot (August 8). Lots of delays that I thought they would badge it a 2020 but thought nothing of it since the software would be upgraded. Will see how it shakes out.

Good to know. I HAVE TO THINK that this would be a software update. There is no way they would change the hardware since it's release in March that the 2019s could not accommodate it.

I picked up mine mid June and it came with 3.2019.60, So hopefully the next update will add that to mine. I think that is such a better use if that display than that dumb map.

OK, now we just need someone with a 2019 to get that update done and verify 🤞

That's awesome. Great pics.

From what I have gathered the 7.2019.xx update seems to be a rather large upgrade, but they have had a ton of issues with cars they were upgraded, rather than shipped with it.

Hopefully they can get this sorted soon. I would love to have that in mine.

Maybe that's the delay on OTA?

So I have a '19 that was updated last week to 7.2019.xx (I think .35 but not sure at the moment). I do NOT have that view with Assisted Driving Plus or whatever they are calling it... Unless you have to choose what is shown there? I have the map displayed...

Apparently it's not on by default. Here is where it can be found...IF it's even there.

Settings, Driver Assistance, Driving, Check off "Display Assisted Driving view when active"

BTW. When did you get your car originally? Do you know what version you upgraded from?
