New iDrive introduction date

MEGA · 06-08-2011, 06:43 AM

Yo yo.

So if I look at a 58 plated car will it definitely have the new iDrive system? What was the date they started getting fitted with it guys? I know on an 08 "some" people have the new one but most don't. So hopefully all 58 plate cars have the new system?

Also is this still true when we talking about dem m trees? ... I'm still torn between 335d / M3, you see...

Chars.

no, 09 i believe?

Edit: That's for the M3 btw

jonl1983 · 06-08-2011, 08:02 AM

i think it was from Sept/Oct 2008 on the E92.

Mine's Oct 2008 and has the newer iDrive.

I'm guessing the same would be the same for the 'M's'

ghosty · 06-08-2011, 09:40 AM

mines a jan '08 build and has the old idrive.
but saying that i think there was an update on the old idrive too sometime in 07 i think?

creepy coupe · 06-08-2011, 09:44 AM

My Nov 58 E92 had the new idrive

BGM · 06-08-2011, 09:47 AM

yep i think 58 plate normo e92 had the new iDrive

and 09 plate was the change for the M3

AlanYoro35i · 06-08-2011, 10:08 AM

Nope 08 from Sept onwards, mines 08 may still has the old one!

i think you would have to be very very very lucky to get an 08 plate with new iDrive

Anneka @ Sytner · 06-08-2011, 10:45 AM

If there are lines in the bonnet, you should be safe.

e92/3

I can't be absolutely certain for E92/E93, but to get the additional buttons, the updated nav screen and the updated hard drive, I think you'd be looking at a 59 plate.

Feel free to correct me if you think I'm completely out. I'd like to figure this one out.

scottc · 06-08-2011, 11:46 AM

I have an e92 2008 58 with new idrive, the m3 is later for some reason

dxb335d · 06-08-2011, 11:50 AM

LCi E92 does not have the bonnet creases!

I am aware. The original post didn't mention anything about a specific E9x, hence my post.

Mine's Oct 58 and does have the newer iDrive.

(OT: Anneka when were the M3 'Editions' first on sale, and were they all LCI?)

Sorry for the slight hi-jack Dave

G82Dude · 06-08-2011, 12:11 PM

1 Sep 2008 build on for iDrive 2.

The e92 M3 Editions were all pre-lci Built from July 09 to Dec 09.

What features are we thinking of when we say newer iDrive? That will help to figure out where to start looking. The issue with finding an exact date is that the introduction of features was staggered.

Thanks Anneka, so the bonnet on a E92 would be the same as that on the 'Edition' M3, save the bulge and the vents.

The real question is - would the grills from an M3 'Edition' fit the E92?

Anyway, back to the original question,my car Oct 08 has the 7 buttons, does that help?

I believe so. I don't see any reason why any E92M grilles wouldn't fit an E92.

Ta, you've just confirmed what I was thinking.

I could order some 'Edition' grills via your goodself then?
