Sounds like there is going to be new hardware for at least parts of the new system (album art/etc requires a new 6FL module) so it's hard to tell at this point if the other features will be software or hardware. It's likely that the majority will require a physical upgrade to your car, and if that's true it's also likely that BMW will not officially support that type of retrofit so you'll have to find a workaround like the current iDrive onto 3rd gen cars.
