I guess I'm in the minority because I think this looks freaking awesome. At first I was kind of concerned about the buttons but then I realized that I don't really need buttons. Most of the really important buttons are still either on your steering wheel or they are static on all the screens on iDrive 8 such as the air conditioning. Plus this looks like something straight out of Cyberpunk which is dope. 🔥
Great screen however, a complete lack of effort by the designers to work it into the esthetic of the dash. It shouldn't look like a monitor on my desk. It reminds me to much of work!
This I can get behind lol it does look like that when everything is turned off. But once driving I haven’t paid much attention to it. I look more at the heads up display and cluster since most of the info I need Is in there.
Really helpful mate thanks for making the vid! Found your thread on Bimmerpost and been following keenly as my M3 rolled over to 2023 so will be arriving with ID8 (for which there just isn’t much out there). Congrats on the ride and enjoy!!
Thanks you! No major complaints yet. The only thing so far has been the stupid bmw assistant. It never shuts up and interrupts conversations! So damn intrusive. Have tried shutting it off but it keeps activating at random. I also just had an update push through so my m driver professional apps populated.
I was pretty on the fence with iDrive 8. The big curved display just seems thrown onto there like a glued-on iPad, un-integrated. This demo has changed my mind! It's honestly looking pretty sharp! I do kinda wish it like 'molded' into the dash a bit differently, however..
It definitely pops out slightly. I would say it is about 60% integrated on the driver side and it comes out on the passenger side. Un like the Mercedes’ that it’s definitely sunken into the dashboard.
Appreciate you making this video! When you get some time, would you be able to either post a video/pictures going through the new ambient lighting colors?
Thank you for taking the time at 10pm to show us around. Bmw told me in May that I'm getting the id8 but what is it exactly I have not been able to see. I really appreciate finally seeing what it is. Really helpful
Fun fact. For those who have iOS. The upcoming iOS 16 apple car play will integrate into this new idrive 8. Giving you a whole new look on both screens. It’s going to give you a whole new experience as you drive
Do you have sources on this? I have been trying to confirm compatibility, but haven’t found credible sources that can confirm or deny. Apple released a list of car manufacturers that are fully compatible with the new Apple CarPlay vehicle control integration and BMW was not on the list. There are quite a few articles saying that BMW still has not confirmed whether or not they will fully integrate with it from posts as recent as July 2022 but I haven’t seen anything new.
HEAD-up display not heads-up … other than that cool video. I was skeptical about the curved display but it grew on me! Thanks for making it and posting this! Very helpful as I wait for mine!
I really liked the m2 Comps cluster. Blacked out but still analog. This has been the first modern screen that I have owned. My wife’s x7 I barely drive so it’s definitely been an adjustment with all the customizing
I still think they should have kept physical buttons for common tasks. I don't care about programming seat heating options. My Stinger has physical buttons which I can change settings on the fly. Other than that the information is good that one can get on the displays especially since this is an M model. I hope next generation they can implement physical and digital better.
Hey ! Just a question, how can you put the GPS Map of Europe in a US Car ? Do all the connected services work or do you need to do a setup at the BMW dealership? (with personnal eSIM) How did you order this M3 G80 directly from North America and have it delivered to Germany? I'm really curious to know the details :)
Can anyone help us out, Recent got one of these but how do you get the bhp, torque display on the control display.I have seen videos with there but don’t know where to find it
Just bought mine! But the reason I love this car is because the driving performance and not this huge square funny ipad! I would prefer million times a more easy to access direct buttons! It's just me, maybe I'm old school! Thanks for the video!
If you would please can you do another recording of the curved screen showing specifically the sport displays. Also please can you record in a higher resolution. Thanks
Like I have so many questions like can you get that same car that you're in right now without that display like is that display like an upgrade or is it come in certain cars or like how does does that work cuz I seen it in so many different cars with different years so like I'm so confused with that display
If it’s a 2021-2022 you get ID7 and it’s not the big display. You have two different displays and different infotainment. The 2023+ had ID8 which comes with the curved display.
You can use the dial for it all. I use the dial for a lot of the infotainment and the screen just for climate controls or if I need to tweak out some settings.
@@HMDriven thank you very much! That's a relief. While I love what they've done here, I do not like touch screens. I have an M2 coming in April and it's good to know I can control it all with the dial similar to my Mazda CX50.
I have a 2022 G80 M3 Comp XD and I think its the perfect balance between functionality & technology. Im not sure if I like the LCI or not, I would have to see it in person before I would make a conclusion if Id prefer a 2023... Esp from the passenger perspective.. Either way, its an absolutely fantastic car and I know youll love it! I couldnt be happier with my choice. It goes from housewife to stripper with a push of a button...
Based on wait times they'll most likely push you to the 2024 model year that supposedly should come with this new display. Definitely a risk to do it early hoping to get the updated displays but with the year+ wait times it's more than likely the case if you were to order now.
@@HMDriven i'm 28 and really don't care about customizing my screen when i'm blasting tunes with my 12" sub in the trunk in a car that hits 60 in under 4 seconds haha. the hood covered gauge cluster and actual shift knob are reasons enough for me to want iD7 over iD8 regardless of whatever "customization" i can do on iD8 (drag some modules? i'd rather have the 1-8 physical hot keys in iD7...) BUT i understand i'm in the minority :) regardless these are all great cars
@@10essee10titans we all have our preferences. I’m a bit of a tech nerd so I enjoy the advances. I’m just not liking how connected to the internet you have to be in many of these cars.
CCB? If you are asking about the carbon buckets. No I didn’t. I made the change for them a little too late and the vin had populated so just have the m sport seats.
I just had an update pushed through today. The Apple Maps on the cluster only populate if you have a destination set with Apple Maps. It will not use Waze or Google maps. On the big screen waze and googles maps work.
You have to really sit in it and drive to make a real fair judgement. The first time I saw it I thought the same. But now it’s quite nice and makes my x7’s ID7 look antiquated
You get that though. Change the display to sport or track and it gives you just that and the heads up display will give you a tachometer speed shift light and current gear. Definitely not as busy as you may think.
Can you access the climate control using the iDrive wheel directly from the home screen? Like access the climate control without ever using the touch screen.
Unfortunately the wheel doesn’t allow you to get into the climate controls from the Home Screen you have to push on the bottom center for it to put you in the climate menu.
I love the ID8! Compared my to X7’s ID7. The climate controls I don’t miss since I have it set to a setting I use all the time. Graphics are awesome, resolution crushes ID7, and once in the seat it doesn’t look too out of place. I would just stick with what you got coming. I love the car so far
This new panel is ridiculous. I am not looking for a entertainment system but for a CAR. And I cannot change it, my M4 comp will be delivered with this sh.. and I am even being asked to pay an additional fore it! Is this company a kind of circus, as I honestly feel as a clown.
BMW completely screwed up with this cockpit ……it took me to years to convince myself of buying this car because of the front fascia, finally when I decide to LCI came out with this ridiculous dash .🤦🏻♂️😃 …… terrible
The front grill took a bit of time to grow on me also. Darker colors makes the car look ridiculously aggressive. As for the lci interior. I took a gamble and canceled the MY22 allocation and grabbed the guaranteed pre order allocation for MY23. I have to say the curved display is not bad once you get in the seat and it does look more premium. Fortunately I’m able to see the differences from ID7 and ID8 since my wife has an x7 with ID7. I can’t help but prefer the new one.
Wife has an x7 and honestly I favor the ID8 over the ID7. The cluster screen looks cheap in the ID7. But ultimately it comes down to peoples preference. Once in the seat I have said before you don’t notice the car being any less sporty
@@HMDriven i believe you, I've driven IX and it very nice TBH, but after F8x generation i can't get over the separate cluster and infotainment screen. and when you are driving fast on track its much easier to focus when you have small divided area to look at. That's just me.
Oof. Tacked on displays and moving all the HVAC into the touchscreen or providing very little buttons seems to be a German trend (looking at you MK8 Golf). Hard pass.
Exterior I use to not like and it grew on me to where now I love it. The grill in darker colors isn’t as loud and darker colors give the car a wider stance compared to the lighter colors. After doing the break in service I honestly don’t feel like I have settled l. This thing is mental.
And just like the iphone 3 all of this will be very outdated very quickly. There is a reason companies like Pagani and koenigsegg went full analog again. Front grill was already a total fail now this...the new m2... what in the fuck is going on at bmw. Fail after fail.
I don’t really think it will look outdated. Once in the seat it doesn’t look out of place and things tend to blend in. Just hope what you are stating doesn’t happen!
@@HMDriven trust me man pick up an old cell phone or old tv tablet etc. Tech ages. This is just a cheap easy route. You get a supplier for the screen program it to do fancy light shows and boom youre in business. The dummies all flock while its the latest and greatest. Keep it simple analog + manual trans + subtle clean lines inside and out. This thing will be a forgotten M sadly at this rate. Performance is top notch and i love the seats but its def a gen of m3/4 thatll ill be skipping. Sad they had an amazing run with e30 e36 e46 e92 f82. Only owned the last 3 which i couldve had the first 2 but e36 in north America was crap unless you got the euro spec and e30 was just too expensive.
@@HMDriven congratulations! Im glad you like it. I’m still an old fashion when it comes to dashboard but I think it’s the future. At least we are still not forced to drive electric cars.
Would have to disagree. This interior looks way better than the F87 and all the previous cars I have owned. I also have an X7 and I been liking the ID8 better than the ID7.
