The only reason to get iDrive in my mind is for Navigation. My commute is 3 miles each way on city streets. I rarely have a need for traffic info or navigation. In the few times that I need them, I just use Google maps/traffic on my cell phone. Not worth the extra $2250 for me.

Plus, I think the dash looks cleaner without iDrive. The second hump seems like an afterthought to me and is too much of a focus point in the dash. I think it is much better integrated in the X6 for instance.

Personal choice I guess.

On similar note, I picked up the French brochure for the M3 while in France and apparently, the M3 cannot be ordered without iDrive in France. Weird. I am happy I had the choice.

Hopes this helps.
