and it looks much better than that wide ass panel. i hope the x's stick to the way it is now.View attachment 1826761
Yea, mine isn't as "Futuristic" but I think the integration is still pretty dang cool.
i'm wondering what is up with the digital key — the page talking about it is outdated, and i don't see it being an option on the '22 x5 — even though it was listed as one of the models that should have it in '21... feels like they are dropping it. hope i'm wrong.CarPlay in my current 540i is free. The Digital Key is quite convenient, one less thing to carry/lose, but I still won't trust is on long trips. What I would really like to see is CarPlay integrated into the Heads-Up Display. My current car is sort of a "hidden" hybrid, I imagine the next version a few years from now will be an i5. Just as long as they don't propagate that ugly grille...
from 7:26 actuallyA look at the BMW i4's CarPlay integration and Apple Maps in the instrument cluster may be seen from 08:40 in the video.
Last time I heard this wasn't the case anymore starting from G20 3er. Are you saying subscriptions are back?It’s pretty pathetic that the charge $80/year for CarPlay. Apple should restrict them from doing that.
I got a 2021 M440i a few months back and CarPlay is now integrated into the Heads-Up display which is nice. I was a little worried about the Digital Key at first but I use it a lot more now and leave my key fob at home. After losing a fob for my wife's X3 and having to cough up $400 (AirTags had not bee released yet) for a new one. So using the Digital Key eliminated the risk of losing a key.CarPlay in my current 540i is free.

Which is wrong, CarPlay is only available as a lifetime offer per car. The subscription model was scrapped a few years ago.I was going to say something like "awesome!" until I read about the $80 a year charge above.
Seriously. And this should be mentioned in the story as well.It’s pretty pathetic that the charge $80/year for CarPlay. Apple should restrict them from doing that.

So does my Honda Accord. And you know what? It's not that big a deal! I can still queue up music, and my phone is mounted via Magsafe in a convenient place on the center of the dash.My 2012 VW Golf has BLUETOOTH.
Agree, there's a few manufacturers who seem to be doing this, especially in EVs - just slapping an ultra-wide display on top of the dashboard without making any attempt to integrate it physically or aestheticallyIMO (<= just my opinion guys) The interior looks ... not good. Like 3 raspberry pi screens stitched together or sth. 👎🏻 They forgot the integration of the displays with the rest of the car I think.
Not that I can afford this beautiful car, but if I could I'd move to a state that didn't require front license plates. On the other hand I miss the kidney shaped grill of days gone by.This is awesome! I’d be really interested in this car if it wouldn’t have this hideous huge grille.
Yeah, I cannot understand how this grill made it through. Hideous is definitely the correct word to describe it.This is awesome! I’d be really interested in this car if it wouldn’t have this hideous huge grille.
That's in the past dude.all this tech and they can't even install working blinkers...
