So, even though the reason is simple, we can see the benefits today.

Even in driving conditions, the driver will obviously be more flexible in choosing the application. With one control, the driver will easily select the available applications on the car. We no longer need to press, rotate, or touch the screen with different conditions.

We can guess that iDrive has the main goal of making it easier for drivers to activate applications in the vehicle with just one control. So from here, we can guess what the main purpose of this iDrive is. For example, you have to press, rotate, or use the touch screen. Not to mention if we are not familiar with these buttons. The fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, electric. The new-gen iDrive system is now in its 7th generation, however, it still is based on BMWs Professional NBT Evo architecture which was unveiled back in 2016. All figures relating to drive system output, charging output, performance, energy consumption, emissions and operating range are provisional. Not infrequently the position of the button for one application to a different application is located far apart. Take a deep dive into the history of BMW's iDrive and watch the interview with Stephan Durach, senior vice president Connected Company Development at BMW.
To activate we have to choose which one we want to activate and press the button.
Until now, we will commonly see various entertainment controls and other controls on the dashboard panel of the car.

This doesn't apply to 2018s that come with the full version of iDrive 6.
Bmw idrive versions update#
It was the largest over-the-air update ever rolled out by the manufacturer, which was received by over 750K cars worldwide. In 2020 BMW released the most extensive upgrade of Operating System 7 the Remote Software Upgrade (version 07/20). The only other thing is that with "lite" it will change the vehicle images (efficient dynamics display, etc) from whatever your car is, to the G30 images instead. BMW iDrive 7.0 Software Upgrade version 07/20. Thing is, without the touchscreen, you can't take full advantage of the redesigned main menu. With NBT, the whole line is highlighted red while CIC. If you're unsure whether you have CIC or NTB, you can tell by the menu selections. It is very similar in style to the CIC model but has a 3D effect, is more detailed, and has sharper colors. I believe that this whole "lite" thing refers to all the cars with iDrive 5 being able to display the same main menu as iDrive 6. NBT - It was introduced for 2013 model cars and replaced the 'CIC' version shown above. The question I am asking is what are the software differences between a 2017 model that has iDrive 6 "lite" coded and a 2018 with iDrive 6, if there are any? There could be differences due to faster computers/processors in a 2018 vs a 2017 and may have different animations, features, speed, etc. If I'm wrong then post something official from BMW stating otherwise. BMWUSA's website advertises the 2018 non-touchscreen version as iDrive 6, not a "lite" or watered-down version, as you can see from my original post.
