There is a way around this. A friend of mine had a CPO 7 series, and his I-drive failed. He made the argument that since it controls climate control functions (vent settings, ventilated/heated seats etc.), that it was also a part of the climate control system. He bitched to the service manager and BMW NA and they covered it for the $50.00 deductable. Try to go this route and see if it works.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
