If you have any questions let me know. I might be able to remember more if you asked some questions.
Good post zoomzoomers!

I do have one question - can someone can explain what is "unfortunate" about iDrive?

The wife's e92 has iDrive and she and I both agree there's nothing like it. Biggest testimonial was from our neighbors - they drove with us to Vegas (600 mile round-trip) and they were amazed watching from the back seat as I went seamlessly from Nav to iPod to Phone to traffic, etc. All with minimal hand movements. My neighbors eventually confessed that their Lexus SC430 Nav/Entertainment/Phone systems can't compare to the integration and simplicity of iDrive.

The wife took to iDrive like a kid takes to a video game. When I told her all about the anti-iDrive sentiment, she looked at me like I was nuts! I only wish my Z4MR had iDrive. Looking forward to the next Z-car now that it looks like it will have it!
