The real underlying issue here is that BMW needs to make a reliable computer for their I-DRIVE system. IMO, since the I-DRIVE plays such a central role in these cars, they should give it a 10 year/unlimited mile warranty. Seriously, how can you make a car with a central brain/computer like I-DRIVE, and then after 5 years it breaks and expect your customer to pick up the tab. It's a joke if you ask me.
The alternative is of course just make cars like they used to, without a central brain to cause issues.
My 2 cents anyway.
