Yesterday, I had my first experience with the abomination known as i-Drive, when I had a chance to ride in my friends 545. Suffice it to say that all the horror stories I'd heard failed to live up to the true evil that it is
I would swear that the system is designed to confuse, irritate and defeat every single thing you would want to do. He's had it for a year, and he *still* isn't comfortable with the damn menus.
While we're on the subject, I didn't find the interior, dashboard and displays to be that special. I guess I expected more from a 70k luxury sedan. I haven't driven it yet so I've no idea of how it handles, though being a BMW I suspect its going to be excellent in that area.
