Yeah... especially without Nav!!! One funny comment last night... People saw the screen and iDrive controller and said "oh look... it has a navigation system"... I didn't have the heart to tell them that Nav isn't avail until spring.

I really haven't played with iDrive, so I'm saving judgement until Thanksgiving when I can play with my stepdad's e65. However so far I think iDrive is a somewhat interesting idea for controlling the nav and making some selections for CD/radio and some set-and-forget car settings. Just think they tried to do too much and eliminate a few too many buttons...
