The idrive is excellent. Has a perspective bird eyes view with 3D graphics. Very easy to navigate. The best part is the free traffic info and the ability to send addresses from google maps to your BMW easily and you can click on it to add as destination. Also, the iphone integration is awesome( if you have the $150 smartphone feature). The phone fits snug into the adapter, lets you browse all your music on the idrive, uses the external antenna and charges. Well all this is the 2009 idrive. I cant wait to use the upgraded 2010 idrive. Love this when compared to the lexus and the merc nav systems.
