With the official announcement from BMW of the New Navigation Professional and iDrive/ConnectedDrive, many of you have inquired when the technology (both a software and hardware [cpu, graphics processor, hard drive] upgrade) would be implemented on the various models.

We now share with you a general rollout schedule for the new navigation and iDrive. These dates do not apply to the new iDrive Touch system, which will have a separate rollout and application schedule. Particular markets may have different rollout schedules.

* The new navigation and iDrive updates will not be coming to any E-series models (i.e. E90, E92, E89, E84, etc.)

For those curious, the list of hardware upgrades (vs. the current) include:

Intel processor 1.3Ghz vs Renesas 600Mhz
1GB RAM (vs 512Mb)
8GB flash (vs 512Mb)
Nvidia graphics (vs Fujitsu)
200GB hard drive (vs 80Gb)

No E92/93 or E82/88?

Blubaron79 · 07-11-2012, 03:05 PM

Another reason to wait for the F32!

F-Series only. E-series have too different architecture and all of them are leaving the market pretty soon, so no reason to invest.

ManiacGT · 07-11-2012, 03:30 PM

Not a mention anywhere of it on the e89.. Just main stream product.. Boo!

Time to join the oil burning school bus owning crowd just to get this tech? Shame!

The new nav and iDrive updates won't be coming to any E-series models, only F01 and up.

amdmaxx · 07-11-2012, 03:52 PM

i'd assume anything new after April 2013 will have new NAV. too bad for e8x

Budge · 07-11-2012, 04:44 PM

I'll wait for the E90 retrofit kit.

727jbh · 07-11-2012, 04:59 PM

M5 (F10M) July 2012 Production.........excellent my order has been placed and the dealer estimates build next week!!!

PrimoM3 · 07-11-2012, 05:02 PM

REALLY glad to see the new unit utilizing a powerful Intel chip. Only wish my 2013 M3 would come with it, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for a retrofit.

SomeRandomer123 · 07-11-2012, 05:14 PM

So does this mean a software update will be available for my May production F30 afterall?

That would be stupid if they gave the updates tithe E series, just a waste of $$$, nice call BMW

They said its a HARDWARE and software change ...

avelvin · 07-11-2012, 06:33 PM

Will I be able to get this upgrade on a 2010 F11 by going into the dealer for a software upgrade??

It says clearly in the article that it's both a hardware and software upgrade.

03BeastCharmer · 07-11-2012, 06:57 PM

Since E-models aren't supported, does this also mean that BMW Apps for E models probably will not be seeing any additional updates, and truly is a waste of $200?

ATX78703 · 07-11-2012, 08:03 PM

wonder why the x3 (f25) isn't until april 2013? is that when the production cycle changes to MY 2014? that would be weird..

mdosu · 07-11-2012, 09:39 PM

does not include new i-drove controller...why tease us one bit at a time?!

It's like when the rolled out CIC, and the outgoing M6 got the CIC controller but still had CCC software.

TheDuke83 · 07-11-2012, 10:00 PM

Is it safe to assume all F32's will have full integration?

Yes, from its very start of production in 2013.

BsOfD · 07-11-2012, 10:41 PM
