The new F10 [the E60s successor] is less than a year away. The 5-series GT comes out in Oct 2009.
I would rather wait for that than get the current E60 with the new iDrive [residuals will plunge further when the F10 is launched]
But just my opinion

So far from the looks of the new GT and the F10 cars, I say no thanks..

My October 2008 525d has the new controller but the old iDrive software. I've not heard of any vehicles earlier than this with the new controller.
