I don't have a problem at all w. i-drive as a basic convergence system-...and if you can use an i-Pod...you can master the (non) complexities of i-drive.
What is a total rip is the quality of the graphics in every application-
it looks bargain basement...low brightness screen that easily washes out in daylight...pre-DonkeyKong graphics, and very un-BMW when compared to similar systems on Lexus & Acura...hell, even Toyotas and Hondas.
I recently drove a 2007 328 sedan loaner from my dealer and from what I could tell, it still looks and feels cheap. I don't know what the cost is from the options menu...but it's not on my list of got-to-have's until there's a complete upgrade which is way overdue.
Just my 2cents.
