Hard pass on iDrive 8.5!
Odd, maybe something wrong with that car or it needs a software update. I have a 2024 530i and the voice input works fine. I will admit that the majority of the time I'm in Android Auto, but the few times I've used the built in Nav or other functions, they worked just fine.
