Does anyone have a anything like a "Dealer Bulletin" or something like that? All the dealers I asked here in the US said they haven't received anything from BMW yet. (One of them is a good buddy of mine) Dang, I'm still pissed that I didn't wait for the 2010 model if it is true that the CIC will be in the 2010 model.

Way to unresponsive and slow. Uncomparable to the CIC one. Sorry. In my opinion the speech activation is useless with the discbased system. Way to unresponsive and slow. Uncomparable to the CIC one.

The last thing I was told by my dealer was that they wouldn´t put the new CIC in until oct production.... Will probably buy the 5 series GT instead and avoid the confusion.

June) ordered a BMW X5 2009. I should get it sometime the end of this month (July). Now I'm reading that on the web that the 2010 model will come in September and will have the new CIC iDrive. Did I make a mistake buying the 2009 model now? Some people say that the 2009 models built after April '09 will already have the CIC, is that true or do I really have to kick my a** for not waiting until September? As stated in this article the 2010 model will have the CIC knob but will still have the CCC system. I don't care so much about the knob (I will use speech activation anyway) but about the higher resolution screen and the new UI of the system. Can anyone shed some light on the X5 and CIC issue for me? Thanks so much, Kimba I just (10. June) ordered a BMW X5 2009. I should get it sometime the end of this month (July).

I bought an X6 50i in November. It had the old iDrive system of course. I was gutted to find out that they launched the CIC on all other models right after that. However, the car just got stolen so now I will be getting a new one and am planning on getting a sep production one so I get the 2010 model. I have been told that it will have the CIC which is why I am a little disappointed seeing here that the screen won't change. How accurate is this? I live in Sweden btw. Hmmm….

Can you confirm which is accurate? I keep finding inconsistent information. The dealer also said that the new system will have the controller and software, but not a new screen. This does not make any sense to me either (see Rob's comment above). Does anyone know why this might be? Is it temporary? Or will the X5 get the new screen in 2010?

Do they mean the physical display will not be the higher resolution one that is part of the new iDrive (I doubt this as its part of the CIC package)? Or do they mean the software will somehow be the old interface running on the new CIC hardware (which I also doubt as the new software is also a key part of the CIC)?
