I have info in German, but I don't understand German. The new i-Drive hasn't been tested by anyone so... no reviews. However the difference between the CIC (new i-Drive) and the CCC (current i-Drive) are these points:

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!


Ah... I see........ hmmm.....

forgitaboutit, i'd say... LOL

The only thing that would make me wait would be some sort of performance difference... say, an extra hp or two, or something under the engine.etc....

In all honesty, I don't like the current i-Drive system much and the new one apparently has simpler and smoother operation. If the say the N54 twin turbo engine was coming out in Korea, I'd definitely wait.

However, judging by what is being said about the new i-Drive in Europe (it's in the new 7 series already) it's ALL THAT and a pack of Bubblicious!

FWIW, I always turn off the screen of my iDrive. I just hate it and only use it when I'm.... let's see.... I don't think I ever use it actually... The radio stations are all programmed to keys so I don't need it, my AC is all set so don't need it, I don't use it that much actually.....

I drive!
