I just took delivery of a 2024 M4 Comp xDrive and I’m loving it. The only issue I have is how terrible iDrive 8 is.

I’ve owned and driven a lot of cars, idk if I’m just used to my Tesla but man, I finally understand what you guys mean by “not everything needs to be behind a screen”.

Like if you’re gonna put everything behind a screen, at least make it user friendly.

That leaves me here, what tips and tricks do you guys have for iDrive 8?

    Yeah coming from Tesla that’s rough. Same here. They need a bigger screen, not just wider. The problem is they keep iterating instead of keeping up with technology. That said I prefer the stock nav over android auto.

      I see where BMW is going with when it comes to iDrive 8 like they wanna make it like an “App Store” but for features in your car but the execution is seriously lacking.

      I have a 2024 Mercedes AMG GLE53 and 2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance, compared to the infotainments of those BMW is seriously lacking in user friendliness. Needs a redesign imo

      I’m a fan of putting things into the screen because it simplifies the interior but if they’re gonna do that, they need to implement it better.
