The newer disks even had a cool birds eye view that made it look pretty up to date for a super old system.

I updated the Mark IV to v32 which changed help to update the HW. It was also the last version released via BMW. I added BlueBus functionality which really updated the user Mark IV experience.

Yep… 100%. It will never stop though given that the majority of individuals purchasing new BMWs these days are gullible badge buyers and not the informed enthusiast whom previously were the main support of the marque.

Got a long ways to go as they are not scheduled to arrive at U.S. Centers until sometime in April 2023. FYI, if I do not think it is earth shattering then I will more than likely cut it loose quickly. Hell, I may bail prior to spec’ing it if the automotive press reviews are not that favorable come this fall.
