I don´t believe so. Scott27 who works for the BMW AG (as posted in this thread) said a few days ago that idrive comes in March. As I researched in several forums and threads, Scott27 seems to be a very good informed guy who is not posting things that are not true. Several other sources (BMW dealers in Germany) confirmed the new idrive for spring also in private.

A local dealer told me that BMW does everything to satisfy their customers and an old idrive in an 80000 Euro Car is impossible for any month longer. His sources told him that the press release is going to be published very soon, within the next 14 days(?)!

Let us trust in Scott27 and some other unconfirmed voices! BMW will not fool us with an old idrive for a higher list price - I hope so.
