I chose my wife's '08 with Nav only because it also had PDK. The 1-button iDrive controller sucks but I'm used to it and she just closes the pop-up screen mostly.
My '13 with later fixed screen and multi-button iDrive control is great. I can't stand operating the radio or telephone in the small radio/MIDI screen. It's just awful. Other than having to update the maps, the system works great for Bluetooth, offers Music Collection hard-drive, and a much better interface for anything I'm doing in the car.
I was at the initial launch of iDrive at the Frankfurt Auto Show and I'm not as much a hater now on the Nth generation as I was then. Obviously all other manufacturers have followed suit but no one does an interface as well as BMW now. Don't limit your search!
