I think it looks great and it sounds like they took the tech I’m enjoying in my 540 and took it to the next level.

Yeah the new G20 (along w/ the X5 and x7) has idrive 7 whereas the 5 has idrive 6. Other than some confusing settings menus, they've really knocked it out of the park as far as i can tell. I'd never buy a car just for the infotainment, but this was a pleasure to use. Glad that BMW has stuck with the controller knob (while adding touch). So much easier/quicker to use while driving. Disappointed that Audi ditched their MMI controller w/ the latest version. You can tell that BMW continues to methodically refine their system; keeping what works and fixing what doesn't. One small nitpick was that they've made the buttons that surround the controller more "flush" so they're harder to use by feel (and don't feel as good to press)
