My idrive hesitates some times, is ther a way to make it quick. Also, where can I get a 2008 DVD for a decent price?

Your car wont be third generation iDrive with just an update. It has different hardware too I believe(as fitted to LCI cars).

Thanks, I realise that but I did say 'based on' - the document did seem to say that there would be some improvement to 2nd gen, so I guess the proof of the pudding etc.

I read the same article a while ago and didn't re-read it when seeing this thread but I didn't take "improvements" to idrive to mean improvements in speed, just the interface.
Anyway this time next week I should be able to see for myself.
