I personally think any and every feature should be able to be turned off in one way or another. Maybe a day will come when it is standard to have a form of idrive, and a menu of choices. When it comes to safety, they can always have a code, so people do not just turn everything off. It's about being smart. I do agree, there are times we just do not want something on, and it is not about safety.
Till then I think we will have to live with the gong. My guess, we could find someone to make a dummy seatbelt buckle that is maybe made out of plastic or something, then those who carry 6 packs or flight bags, can us that.
Sometimes being too safe becomes unsafe. Nothing worse than being stupid enough to try and reach across to buckle up that passenger seatbelt while diving and you swerve and hit something. Yes the right thing to do is stop, but I can tell you not every1 is going to do that. So BMW please add more on/off options to the idrive.
My guess idrive will become a standard option, and they will just have different types of idrive. If the diehard no feature person wants no visible display, they can always have a plug in and you just plug in your little diagnostic idrive when you must change options.. Like our tow key, we store in the trunk.

Just wondering is the buckle standard and can we just order a spare, or visit a junk yard and make a no-gong-6-pack-clip?
