I find it very unlikely the US does not get the 5.0, what are they going to do on the assembly line...
"hold it, that's a US model throw the old navi in it!" All 2 series and M2's should have it, just makes sense.

All F87 have the HU_High2 Headunit which has iDrive 5.0 Basic capability but is running id4++ GUI. The I-Level update released last night, will supposedly release iDrive 5.0 GUI on these cars. Someone will confirm this fairly soon. Cars with 3/16 - 7/16 build dates have the official ID5+ HU part number (there are 3 versions of IDrive 5.0 : 5 Basic, 5+, and 5++). This version will be retrofitable with Apple CarPlay after it becomes available in August. The Pricing Guide (which no one else has apparently looked at so far), shows the standard features only compatible with ID5, and the options in Exec Pack of wireless charging and WiFi hotspot require ID5 as well. 7ME - M Driver's Pack finally is mentioned and the poorly phrased reference was a bad attempt to avoid confusion that STD 840 - Increased Top Speed, an unusual code to appear on an M car, has anything to do with the additional top speed increase with 7ME which is a standalone option, priced at $2500 and is not discountable. The dealer is charged the same amount as the MSRP and retrofit will be the same amount as well. Hopefully this ends any doubt. |

Apple is being a bit stubborn and forcing CarPlay with a partially external integration to be adapted, which requires its own regulatory certification. |

The Pricing and Order Guides for almost all MY17 are on the "other" site, but I'd wait a few days to make sure the correct release versions are added. I was looking at them through the internal system very late last night and someone was actively pulling, blocking, and re-releasing revised versions at that hour. Some of the MY17 cars are already sitting in port, some are in transit, and others are intentionally blocked for release (due to last run P1 status MY16 Spartanburg X series that were damaged in the hail storm. Customers were given the option to wait for an identical spec vehicle to be built in lieu of a repaired vehicle, but all remaining MY16 slots were no longer in change order positions, so MY17 first run is specifically for these cars). |

As to ID5, there are a number of factors that influence what may or may not be offered. The Graphics output is one issue though it appears that is accounted for in the latest vehicle software update for cars with HU High 2, but there is also the touch controller. Not for its layout, rather, the G11/12 and MY17 and cars receiving the "official" ID5 update have no wired connection to a touch box controller. Instead, the controller connects directly to the headunit and includes an additional USB input specific to the controller inside the center armrest for Updates and Conneted Touch Device registration. |

I don't even know what an "iDrive" is. The only iDrive I know is when I'm in my car in the driver's seat. Guess if the 2017 doesn't get it, I won't miss it.
Confession: I don't even have a cell phone. Really. I'm a Luddite.

I would assume if they do that for Canada they are not going to switch back to the old display and controller for the US. Though it is still without touchscreen that was in the 7 series iDrive 5.0 roll out. |

I think the advanced school (if it's the 2 day) is upwards of $4k to $5k, so really not bad if you are considering doing the school anyway. I wish I had this option (if it's the two day school) because I plan on doing this with a good friend of mine next year. The full cost is a little hard to swallow though at $4k plus! I have a MY16, so early birds did not get this option.
