Cool

does anyone know if it is possible to put a screen saver on the idrive display so that instead of looking at instructions on how to work idrive which all e60 users will quickly get to know to one that for instance could show in large print date,time outside temp. or whatever
i know these are already available put the passanger doesn't see date or outside temp
any ideas ?

We talked about something like this before.

It would be awesome if you could get the I-Drive to display virtual dials with your oiltemperature, watertemperature and voltage usage.. Would be really neat. And al this info is available in the car but is not shown to us.

Sure just copy any of the numerous images here of I-drive screens and save into your screensaver pictures.
