As far as I know, without tremendous expense, you wouldn't be able to upgrade your 2007 iDrive to what's on the 2010 models with software only. I think there are a few hardware changes that would drive the cost up a bunch.
If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will chime in...

The LCI cars are faster -- at least on cars with nav -- because they removed the haptic feedback from the controller...
