At least not as of Summer 2023.

I imagine even the 2, 3, and 4 series will see it roll out them Fall 2023 or Winter 2023-24, certainly at the latest by early/mid 2024.
I wonder if it’s another press release mistake considering their team went in to elaborate further on the original release.

I mean it’s just odd that the i4 is getting updated to 8.5 when it has the same hardware for iDrive as the 3; the same setup that limits it to 40 MPH on Assisted Driving vs the newer ones that can go up to 85 MPH on Highway Assist.
