It CAN be done but it is super expensive and requires hardware changes to include the screen I thought.

Plus 2016 X5 is iD5 anyway. No experience with M4 software but would be surprised if it was different so either it is or the guy is mistaken. Cuz iD5 can flashed or iD6 lite with no HW change.

The YouTube stated it's only software flush. Idrive controller and touchscreen optional

Oh I know but I don't believe them. Lol. I mean would need someone who knows better but I don't believe a 2016 M4 has iD4. He always has the whole dash ripped out. Is that the only way to flash the iDrive is to rip it out or did he make hw changes as well as software?

Don't get me wrong I have iD4 and would like the option of iD6 but I don't think it's that much "better" or different after having several 2017/2018 loaners. Every time I start the car I see my split screen with my radio and my traffic Nav and I'm happy.
