By output, do you mean the i-menu? You don't speecify at what point you are pressing the iDrive knob.
I was wondering what the response would be when you press the i-drive knob of 2007 5 series which is pre-lci.

if you press the i-drive control knob of 2008 5er then the service info pops on the screen. On 2008 7er ' s I-drive with the old haptic feedback, it just turns the screen off.

The 7er Series uses a completely different iDrive system (see link to my article for details on that as well).

If you push the iDrive (not i-drive) controller on a 2008 5er you get the so-called "i" menu which is a series of menus for settings. You don't get service info by doing this. Pushing the iDrive controller on a 2007 5er will yield the same result.

The history of iDrive and differences between first generation, second generation, and third generation are documented in my article.
