Classic BMW
they have been doing this with iDrive for over a decade now.
I mean look at the G01 X3, it’s running a weird mismatch of iDrive 6 architecture with iDrive 7 shoehorned in. I have a 2020 X3 with the iDrive 7, but because it’s really an iDrive 6 car it misses out on some features.
It’s pretty funny though that they will have iDrive 7, 8 and 9 all on sale at once.
