I have a 2004 530i, no navigation. I've had no iDrive problems but recently drove a friend's new '05 545 and his controller worked differently. At the end of each submenu, i.e. when I finished scrolling to the end of a list, the controller would physically stop, like a radio knob turned at the end of the dial. My controller doesn't do this. Is this something new or is mine broken??

I have an '05 545 sport without Nav, yet the i-drive still has force feedback on it. I don't know if the '04 is supposed to have the force feedback or not.

My Ride: '04 545i SMG, silver grey, grey Dakota leather, dark poplar, 124's, Nav, Logic 7, PDC, CWP, xenon adaptive lights, comfort seats, electric rear sunshade, hardwired V1, Bluetooth, Aux input, Progman 25, poplar wood trim front lower dash and rear cente
I believe force feedback is standard on all 545's since MY04 with or without NAV.
