I suspect the M3 will get the same. If you have never used iDrive, don't believe all the nay sayers until you try it. I had iDrive on my 06 330i and concluded that I would never own another Bimmer without it. Actually, I will save two grand if iDrive is standard minus Navi...never used the Navi much but used the iDrive daily to set up the surround sound to my liking, select different audio sources, and now you can even control your iPod through the screen. :rocks:

That's all nice but I'm just not interested in all of that stuff. I admit that I'm probably in the minority on this. The only thing that sounds useful about it is all of the car performance settings that can be adjusted for the 'M' button setting, but I would rather not have to turn on sharpest steering, best throttle response, etc. in the first place - it should just be on. Thanks for the clarification between nav and I-drive - that makes more sense now.
