   BimmerFile has contradictory information, so it will be interesting to see who’s right! Personally I would love to see the updated iDrive rearing its head in the new facelift.

   I’m not saying they’re wrong, but we trust our sources, they have been spot on many times and especially since they have seen the new iDrive in the 5 series already. There are some mules being driven around that have the new iDrive/interface, including a 3 series mule, but it will not be in the facelifted version. But, time will tell

   Who cares about the I Drive. When are we getting the uprated engine?

   It seems to be a confusion about all of this. The 5 series will get the new iDrive, along with the new 7. We only stated that BMW has a record of keeping the “goodies” for new cars. We’ll see next year if BMW decides to go ahead with the iDrive in the 3 or wait longer.

   This iDrive IS in the new 3 series, from September 08 builds. I know this as i have just returned from my local BMW Garage having ordered the new facelitft model. The iDrive update is for 1,3 and 7 series. The 5 will be updated when the facelift i brought out soon.

   @jon: Yes Jon, we are correct. We wrote a few articles recently that confirmed the existing of the new iDrive in the 3 Series. The 5 series will not get the iDrive until the new generation

    @Tony: Tony, you’re fine, this was a rumor back in April, but BMW decided to include the new iDrive.
