English -- Pre-production Sneak Peak of iDrive 8

It seems the front display has bigger bezels (maybe to better see “inside the wheel” limited vision field?) than the right/central infotainment display. To me the front display bezels of the iX seem identical to that of the i4

Always interesting to see the id8 in action. There is lots of room for improvement, specially coming from the id6/id7, so let’s see the final product and the next sw updates.

To me the id8 climate function of the iX is one of the least well achieved migration from id7.

I mean who can think that scrolling to get passenger basic functions (such as heated seat) is a good idea???

Previously you had all those functions in physical buttons that for driver and passenger occupied much less physical space than the space occupied in the id8 for showing half the functions so no excuse there.

They waste a lots of space with the +/- on the top/bottom where a single click in the center can circle among the options - much like the physical buttons do

At least I’m glad the i4 doesn’t have so many options and we can skip the scroll left…
