17 vs. 18 F85

I have a 16 F85 that is nicely modded but want a newer one and a different color.
I drove an 18 Black Saphire Edition with 7000 miles and really liked it.
Then I found a 17 in Carbon Black. I like the color better but what am I missing getting a 17? I don't care about Apple Play as I have an S21 Ultra.
I keep seeing reviews etc. on the 18 saying it has adaptive cruise control. It is my understanding that none of the F85s had it. Which is true?
The updated I Drive seems to be 18 only? Is 17 the same as 16?

I have a 17 Sapphire and it's a color like any other. I come from a generation of cars where carbon black was and still is my most disliked BMW color due to the Name and the actual color and also the current skittles colors. In the late 90's all these bright color cars were fitted on JDM cars which suit them well.

I searched the used market for a while and found a 1 owner Sapphire Black Metallic. Interesting enough, I saw a Mineral white on red, and it's stunningly beautiful, very different than alpine even in the distance.

That interior of the Black Sapphire Edition is great. Low miles, a year newer. I would not pass it up. CPO?

Yeah when I was shopping for my car, I didn't know about the Black Sapphire (Fire) Edition or I would have held out till I found one. Got a "reg" sapphire black instead.

I didn't figure it out until I was searching and some interiors on autotrader showed as special order. Well curiosity killed the cat.

No big differences between a 2017 and 2018, though the package configuration changed a little. 2017 offered the Executive and Driver's Assistance Packages - for 2018 they merged all the components of the Driver's Assistance Package into the Executive Package - so no DA package available in 2018.

The updated iDrive was 2017+

Apple CarPlay and wireless charging available 2017+

I was reading that a lot of 17s do not have IDrive 6.0? There seems to be a somewhat disputed cutoff production date where 6.0 was added.
The more I read, the more confused I get.

It is just a setting from what I read. You can code it later.
