Why doesn't idrive let you set a default idrive screen to always be the first screen when you first turn on the car? I understand (barely) the rationale for the disclaimer screen, but it would be nice for the first screen to pop up be your favorite or most used view.

It's a good idea. I think most people here would agree. Some want nav, some might want radio. Nice to have the choice. Or just go back to the last screen before you switched off last.
BTW, there's no disclaimer screen in non-US cars.
I guess that says something about the state of things in the US

That would be nice, but I would just be happy if I only had to "accept" once the agreement and not everytime I start the damned thing!
Or how about wallpaper or a "screen saver" of your choice? A

Unfortunately I think there is no way to change the "startup"-screen. But I have a quick shortcut; if you hold the iDrive-wheel in any direction for at leat 3 sec. it change to last used window/selection, even if car is tuned off for days. Give it a try and it will help you navigate.
