Super helpful. What happened to the weather widget? I have a 2025 X6 and can’t add it to the screen

Been owning my 2023 330i m package for about 2 years and the one thing I think they really should add to the "content" section is tire pressure. We can already see it on the mobile app and in the "vehicle status" section on the right side screen, why not add it to the layout like other car companies or even on the M cars?

I do know the main M cars have a tire psi / tire temp content screen. They introduced it a few years back. But yes would be nice to have it for all the cars and not just limited to the M cars.

Very informative many thanks. Ref at (5mins 02secs) this screen change option can only be altered in "PERSONAL" mode, and then your choice remains for all other modes on my 2024 X1 / idrive 9 (uk). The mileage trip reset was a revelation.

I have the 8.0 version and something I only discovered after 6 months was in the wide view in instrument cluster it shows a P on right side or D or R but switch gear to sport and you get S and whatever gear number in use..I’m sure many already new this but it’s cool to actually see what gear the gearbox is using..

This was really helpful, thanks! I've been using the compass/directional view, but now that I know I can add that to the HUD, I'm probably going to start using the surround view. Where I live, the drivers are terrible, so any help I can get on seeing what's around me is more than welcome! By the way, this might be a stupid question, but does BMW update the OS version, or is that tied to the car model and the hardware? I've got what I believe is iDrive 8, but the new version looks pretty slick...

Glad the video helped ya! Yup i'm in the same boat and have mine doing the same thing when I arrive home. OS Versions can get a little tricky, typically the lower end bmws either come with idrive 8 or 9. Anything mid tier and up would most likely come with idrive 8.5 which is the one you see here in this video.

@@BeamerView Thank you! I've got a 2023 X1, so it looks like I'm probably stuck with v8. I'm still not crying though, it's still pretty great, and it seems like they've done something to improve the Bluetooth connectivity, because it's been working without any problem for months now (knock on wood)!

Great content. QQ, how do I get the music to turn off when I shut off the car and exit. The music/radio keeps playing until I arm/lock the vehicle.

There is a setting within the vehicle. If you go to the DOOR settings, and then go into LOCK / UNLOCK. There should be an option there where once you open the door, the vehicle will turn off. Try that one. Or, you can hold the vol button for 3 secs and that will do the same.

Very helpful video and explanation. Is there anyway to include Tire Pressure readings as part of the instrument cluster as some of the earlier iDrive versions have? If not anyway to have them permanently displayed as a widget you might know of?? Thanks in advance for response.

Tyre pressure monitoring depends on the monitoring system fitted to the vehicle, it’s not a function of iDrive 8.5 Took delivery of my M340i Xdrive last week ! 🙂

Unfortunately, unless you have a full M vehicle, BMWs won't allow you to show the tire pressure readings on the main screens. The easiest way around this would be to have the tire pressure screen setup to be a shortcut then you can quickly access it.

I haven't gotten a chance to play with the 220i yet, the US market doesn't sell them so I wouldn't be able to say what system is has exactly. If you have a head's up display it could be that those settings are popping up on the HUD.

Correct for that model year you can only use the BC button to cycle through the different content. However on your iDrive screen if you have idrive 7 you should be able to change up the widgets by pressing and holding on them.
