INice color. It works well. About the Idrive. I think that area is starting to look very cluttered. What was wrong with the simple rotary? I found some simple tips to remember where to point the rotary dial without looking at the screen.
1) When you talk, your voice goes forward, so push the switch forward for communication.
2) The navigator usually sits on your right, next to you, so push the dial to the right for navigation.
3) The entertainers sit behind you when they sing, so push the dial back for entertainment.
4) As the driver, it is very important that you feel comfortable with the interior temperature, so pull the dial toward you to adjust the climate settings.
5) The car drive is under you, so you push the dial downwards to provide access to the car's control panel.
Sounds pretty simple to me.....

Now all i need to do is put my seat on the 'wrong' side!!!!
Bugger.
How about my version:
1) When you talk, your voice goes forward, so push the switch forward for communication.
2) The passenger always moans its too hot or cold, so left to keep them happy.
3) The entertainers sit behind you when they sing, so push the dial back for entertainment.
4) She can't navigate for love nor money, so right for navigation towards me........
5) The car drive is under you, so you push the dial downwards to provide access to the car's control panel.

Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
I'm pretty sure there aren't, but I have to ask. Aside from the iDrive controller, are there any changes whatsoever from the '08, interior or exterior?

--- INFO REGARDING VEHICLE FUEL ---
According to new car-leasing rules through our plant,
We are only required to put PREMIUM (93 octane) gas in models that have TWIN-TURBO engines or ANY TURBO engines.
All models that are 6-cylinders --> non-turbo models can have REGULAR UNLEADED (87 octane) gas and are NOT required PREMIUM, unless desired so by the customer.

Wow- I put 94 Octane in my 525 each week, this is a welcome change. I wish I had the Cold Weather Pkg up here in Illinois, could really use it.
To what extent are you allowed to 'modify' your vehicle, ie. AngeliBrights, etc? I'm guessing this is a no-no.
