Exactly right Rob. The iDrive is only terrible to people who are too stupid to learn how to use it. Your CA should explain it all to you when you buy the car, and you should read your manual as well. Then again, it's not hard to learn as it is. The only thing you might have to read or be told is that holding it to one direction goes straight to that direction's screen (settings, nav, entertainment, climate, clockwise from the top).
However, I do agree. The new iDrive looks AMAZING. Part of the reason I got a lease on my car is because I never keep a car for more than a couple of years, I don't drive many miles, and I always want new. Unfortunately, I took delivery in May and this is already out, so I have some waiting to do still, haha.
