My dealer gave me a 2010 3 series loaner today. The iDrive blew me away. It totally kills the old clunkier CD based version. Better graphics, much faster, nicer maps, markedly improved user interface, and much more usable nav system.
Almost makes me want to get a new car!

Its not the physical upgrade thats the prob, its the hours of programming required from BMW that takes the longest to process. I keep asking my dealer for a quote, but they never get back to me...

Quick question, does anyone know if the CIC system from an LCI will be compatible with the pre-LCI e60?

A buddy of mine has done it on his 2005 5er and he's totally happy about it. It's an extremely easy mod, if you got spare 2k euro or so.
I will probably pass on this, I'd rather eventually buy a newer car in a year or so.
