Future BMW model information

[m.b]

Saw the next gen iDrive to debut in the iX from CES. Seems like the iX will have it.

Any perspective on when the next gen of iDrive will get launched.

Check out the i4 dual screen set up for the next gen iDrive. Wondering if the G26 and MY 22 G20 will feature these updates?

Based on the BMWblog post, yes they got the 48v system for 2020:

I was curious if the next gen I-Drive for CES would hit the G01 LCI, but I'm guessing no since it just moved to I-Drive 7

I would be willing to bet that LCI will upgrade the X3 from iDrive 7 "lite" to the full version which will enable driver assist pro, remote start, and digital key (amongst other things). I can't imagine BMW leaving those options off their highest volume model for much longer.

That article is referring to diesel engines, not the B58.

Speaking of 48V, any signs of that for the B48 yet? IIRC, in the four cylinder family, only the B47 diesel has been updated with 48V to date.

48V will be paired with the same engines it's used today on G2x, so no news there either.
