Actually I have iDrive on my BMW E91 and I do not think it is as horrible as people claim. Typically these claims come from people that do not have it, and might only have tried it on a short testdrive. Having said that it definitely needed a major update, and it just so happens that it just got a major update! The BMW 3-series 2009 models (manufactured from September 2008) and the new 7-series have a brand new iDrive system which is a MAJOR improvement.
