Apologies, I may be making assumptions about the rest of the world. In the U.S. vehicles are sold by a model year. The VIN clearly reflects the model year, as would your purchase receipt, title, registration, etc.

BMW iX Reservation Tracker: Add Yours Here!
21 - 40 of 49 Posts
I use to own a 2014 Model S which i bought in 2017 and the pleasure of seeing games added and the fart feature😂but seriously my vehicle received numerous updates with the 6 years of ownership and not all just bug fixes. pin to drive, joe mode, updated screen layout, updated nav functions, camp mode, pet mode and many others. 2 months before i traded for the iX it in it got a new layout update for climate control . I was hoping BMW did the same or even better.A lot. And to be honest, to have a frozen car is really not state of the century anymore. This was good 10 or 20 years ago, but with all the changes of new Apps, Services, etc. I expect to have them updated/improved/added in my car, if I'm already buying or driving some kind of battery powered computer.
Just double-check here:
Tesla Software Updates - Not a Tesla App
Verzeichnis der Tesla Software Updates, Versionsinformationen und Bildschirmanzeigen für alle Versionenwww.notateslaapp.com
e.g. Added Apple Music. Introduced a lot of customization options for the control panels and buttons. Improved the trip planner. Improved (o.k. here have have me and sometimes not improved) the UI, etc. etc.
Ofc not everyone needs it and in the past this was not usual, but today, at least for me, it is expected to get improvements, e.g. new services, ... esp. in this price class.
People shouldn't be camping in their BMWs. Sorry. If you can afford a $100k car you can afford a hotel. I fully advocate against such a feature!
Dog mode, sure, because that has a practical use that doesn't insult the brand. I do not want my control layout updated. NO THANK YOU. That is one of the worst things that Tesla does. As soon as you get used to where things are and how they look, they change it! Nope. It's a car, not Microsoft Word.
I agree with you about layout. I did prefer the original Tesla screen layout and do prefer the current iX layout when compared to the 8.5 but was just hoping BMW made some meaningful changes to the original lix software through out the years. like easier access too the climate control or the ability to have B mode, sports or efficiencies mode permanently selected. Also was hoping the would add youtube function for watching vids while charging.People shouldn't be camping in their BMWs. Sorry. If you can afford a $100k car you can afford a hotel.

Bingo!
BTW, I just got an email from Tesla yesterday, "Barry, we see you sold your Model S recently. Please tell us why and if you're buying another one..." That was fun to fill out, including comments such as "when hell freezes over" and "maybe if you had a new CEO who wasn't a micro-managing, control-freak sociopath..."
YesYesYes. When I bought my Model 3, 1/4 of the screen was dedicated to the useless visualization (back then with glitchy jumpy cars). Then they decided to waste almost 1/3 of the screen just for that purpose. I know of no other car where 1/3 of the only screen is wasted like that. I regretted updating the software (not that it was really optional. Some features stopped working without an update).People shouldn't be camping in their BMWs. Sorry.

Hmmm. I think a lot of us would do this upgrade
or the one to get us 9.0
Agreed -- but is it really that simple? Wouldn't we then be in the untested frankenstein setup.. Who knows what assumptions the head unit is making about the rest of the vehicle.Hmmm. I think a lot of us would do this upgrade
