be very careful man. although the new idrive update sounds nice, other issues do present itself on occassion. you'll find many threads about it in the past, on members who wanted the latest idrive version, but then encountered other issues that the update caused. as the old saying goes, "don't fix what's not broken".

On my 2007 530, I had the older iDrive system and wanted to do the update too. However, after reading some horror stories of new problems that came about after the update, I decided against it. I only wanted it because it looked nicer, but functionally, it was still great.
