Thanks for the info, MALEKMAN. Makes me feel better about the choice I made with the car when I read articles like this.

Did not like the review at all. What's so difficult about I-drive. I just do net get it. 5-series is not a rental car that you need to figure out all contols at a glance. Do these people have computers at home?

I don't see what the big deal is with idrive. All I heard about is negativity about the idrive and now I can't live without it. Most would rather have a button for every function. Idrive makes the dash less cluttered with buttons.
