I decided not to do it (have 2017 also). Kinda prefer the look of the idrive 5. Would switch to idrive 6 if it had gesture control or the parking feature available on idrive 6 in the five series. I dont like the big blocks info and if you zoom out to have a larger menu it does not look as good. Now what i dont like about idrive 5: it does not remember to switch on AUTOH (handbrake in traffic, idrive 4 did not have it either but idrive 6 in the five series does that), also seatbelt chime sound is really annoying and it starts right away if you do not put on the seatbelt. Am afraid if i upgrade performance or add performance brakes they are gonna update software and install idrive 6, really dont want it. Only thing i may like is that if they improve graphics on the 6WB as the one on facelift 4 series looks better (but have zero clue how it looks for 2018 X5). Edit: i dont have an M car, but some of the above still applies. Cheers

I guess you can update to iDrive 6 through Bimmer-Tech but it's a bit pricey for $99

I sent an email to a BMW Genius asking how I can get upgraded to v6:
"We regret to confirm that the iDrive 5.0 system in your vehicle cannot be updated to the iDrive 6.0. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. " Pretty sad when you spend $120K on one of their cars and they can't upgrade the software. |

Can this be accomplished through Carly?

I didn't think this was possible if you had Idrive5. If so I would be interested to know but not sure if it could be dont to a '15 x6m.

Is there a quick way to tell if you have iDrive 5 or 6? Not sure if their was a menu item that listed which software version you were running.

9/1/17 I believe when they rolled over to the MY 18's.
Mine was built 8/31/17 and still has the previous iDrive.

Thanks.
I assume iDrive 6 did not bring with it gesture control - just the new software? Anyone with a post September build can confirm iDrive 6? |

Confirmed with my dealer today, that September builds onward, receive iDrive 6.
They had not received any bulletin to advise this, but we called BMW Australia to confirm.
