Some vehicles with ID8 cannot be upgraded to ID8.5.

The following is from a google search:

Eligible Vehicles:

BMW 7 Series (production from 07/2022): Eligible for a remote software upgrade to iDrive 8.5, according to BMW.

BMW iX (production from 03/2023): Eligible for a remote software upgrade to iDrive 8.5.
BMW X5, X6, and X7 (production from 04/2023): Eligible for a remote software upgrade to iDrive 8.5.
BMW X5 M and X6 M (production from 04/2023): Eligible for a remote software upgrade to iDrive 8.5.
i4: Some sources indicate the i4 is eligible for the 8.5 upgrade, while others suggest it might depend on production date.

Ineligible Vehicles (or potentially ineligible):

2, 3, and 4 Series: Some reports suggest that these models with iDrive 8 may not be eligible for the remote software upgrade to iDrive 8.5, at least not initially
