I've never seen a BMW startup screen on my I-drive. Maybe UK spec cars don't have it???
Maybe, but maybe you have just not seen it yet, since you were not looking for it...
Watch it the next time you put the key in ignition to find out...

This is the first I've heard that I-Drive is based on Windows...This seems almost impossible to believe. Does someone have some information to share that indicates that I-Drive is a Windows CE or embedded Windows OS from Microsoft?

I've got a US 530 with a startup screen. It varies on how long it actually stays up, but it's there.
