Well, it's like what I went through. I got the first LCI coming out of the factory but they didn't have the 'PS3-style' gearshift --it was the normal kind. I would have to wait another month and a half to get it so I decided to not wait... LOL
I have this feeling that if I don't get the new i-Drive, I'll be pissed when I see other cars with it. So... Do I i-Drive (pun intended) crazy for a month longer or do I get pissed every time I see a 5'er with the new i-Drive over the next 2~3 years?

I feel like I've turned into 'DrLev99'... He goes through this decision hell until a new car is actually parked in his driveway. Since I don't have a driveway, the situation may be worse for me?

Well, depends on if you can live without it. You won't see other cars with it--they'll be just zipping by.. hehehe but if it bothers you deep inside, then go for it.

HEHEHEH... Well, we'll see...
How long exactly more would you have to wait if you chose the new iDrive?

Hmmm... end of the year... with the snow and all, I wouldn't be able to put on my 167's....... Hard decision.. hard decision.....
Knock on wood. However, winter is the best time to break in a new car, so I've been told. Anyhow, I have the Genesis to flog if the weather turns bad, and the E60 would be parked nice and comfy in the garage of my apartment complex! So the 167s with the CSC3s, the Brembos, the quad exhausts, Rieger diffuser, SB, and the SAT retrofit would all go on!

Then....
Get the updated iDrive.
That way you have a month more to torture yourself and we can have fun asking you 'when's the bimmer arriving?' heheheh
Seriously though, you should dig up more info to see if the updated iDrive is really all that.

1) new i-Drive controller
2) deletion of second DVD slot on dash for SAT NAV, replaced with a HDD for NAV and entertainment
3) new graphics for the i-Drive monitor and NAV
I've added an attachment that list all the changes, but it's in German!
