....but even buyers of new cars can't much information on what systems their car has or what the upgrade capability is.

My source at BMW NA (i.e. the same person who told me months ago that as of July 2013 production, the 5 & 6 series cars would all have iDrive Touch), has subsequently amended that initial pronouncement by now telling me that the whilst the Model Year 2014 6-series car will not be fitted with iDrive Touch at all, from July 2013 onward they'll indeed be receiving the new iDrive 4.2 software updates (i.e. POI search via iSpeech, Android support for BMW Apps, ...).
FWIW, the same BMW NA source also told me that there's CURRENTLY no way to retrofit a Model Year 2014 6-series car with Touch Pad HARDWARE even if it has the July 2013-onward 4.2 iDrive software.
