Anyone notice the new "iDrive bookmarks" feature? It looks as if they've setup 8 buttons that you can use to save a radio station, nav destination, or telephone numbers. I'm not sure how great the feature really will be but it's something new to try, I guess...
Also, it looks like in June of 2007 they will be offering the six-speed automatic transmission with paddles on the steering wheel for manual shifting. Sure, it's no SMG but I'm thinking many automatic owners will have some fun with them anyway...

Some have said that the buttons are touch sensitive and you hover your finger over them...

See my edit: I meant that that's one of the big features discussed in several other threads and heavily predicted.

This was the first time I saw pics of the buttons, etc. The only early pics I saw showed the gear selector -- these new shots show the reworked cubby and what looks like a small covered storage area on the dash...

Not sure what a "Rudyism" is but thanks for the link -- I really did miss a bunch of threads over the past day or so! 
Hey, that's why I am here at 2:30am
