The older CCC iDrive (08-09 cars) is still very handy for the music, maps and vehicle info. Be aware that they use a DVD for the maps and I believe 2014 are the last supported maps from BMW. The newer CIC systems are hard drive based and can be more easily updated.
You can retrofit in the screen and iDrive setup to non-iDrive cars too. There are posts on this forum about it. It's about $1-2k roughly.
I personally went for an iDrive based car (got lucky and found a nicely optioned one locally) for the added convenience but it isn't a deal breaker.
