Yes as you say the OEM one does feel far better due to it's quality. I personally haven't had any problem with the new one. I've had it in now since March this year and it's working fine. But I'll be 100% honest with you I am aware of one (from my UK Group Buy) that has gone faulty.
Cheers. Not really worried about reliability but will get the OEM one for better feel.

There's no coding required for the android radio right ?
Still undecided between that and iDrive but may start off the the Android untill the warranty expires. The iDrive requires some extensive surgery that may affect the warranty. (I won't be picking the car up until next month so haven't read or inquired about the fine print)
