If I understand what you're looking for, there's a Stop Watch/Timer option in iDrive that you can start/stop when testing for driving intervals... Not sure if this is what you mean...

You'll find forum members very helpful. The big screen isn't a touch LCD panel ... when I bought my first BMW w/Nav I thought so too

But, a good place to start is http://www.e60.net/information/ and download a copy of the owner's manual for your car. Keep a copy on your desktop. Also, use the search function on the forum website or you'll bring out the worst in the best on us !

im not sure if asking for "detailed information on every option" is going to get you much help thats a bit much to ask from people. maybe you should do some research on your own and then ask for some clarifications on particulair items welcome to the forum, everyone is willing to give advice and help but try to be specific when asking questions, it will probably give you a better response

Welcome to the forum! As pointed out, the screen is NOT a touch screen. I don't think this is a bad thing though. Despite the prevailing opinion here, I actually like the iDrive system and use voice command most of the time.

Anyway, welcome aboard and enjoy your time here!
