My Ride: 2004 545i 6 spd Sports Package | NAV | PDC | Logic 7 | BT retrofit | SW V13.3
I spent about an hour this evening figuring out the navigation and controls on my mother's new Acura RL. Sure given some time I would say the system is as intuitive as our I-Drive. I wish I could change from AM to FM as easily on my E60, but I have to credit the BMW engineers for a brilliant design.
They have delivered an automoble management system that can accomplish everything the Acura can with one simple pod and a very clean and simple design. All the buttons on the RL can be overwhelming and the navigation wheel requires two wheels one behind the other to accomplish what I-Drive does.
My 545 was my first experience with a modern car. I thought the Japanese would do it better. They haven't.
Now as for the drive, There is no comparison. Nothing drives like the 545 SP.

[/quote]Seeing is believing. Spend 10 minutes behind the wheel of an RL at your nearest showroom. You will see what I mean. And I think the BMW map is better too. Wait till we get the Birds eye view.
