My car is MY11. Not so concerned about the difficulty - I'm talking more about the accuracy. It just plain sucks. Need to turn left and go 3 miles? The nav system is just as likely to tell you to turn right, go a mile, MAKE A U TURN, and head back to where you started. I've seen it over and over. And the circuitous routes it suggests often add 50% to travel time.
But as long as you raised the issue of difficulty of use - every time I get in a friend's car with touch-screen, and he can enter stuff in seconds, I wonder what BMW is thinking, clinging to this crappy dial input. Just amazing.
