After a 335i and one has come up without I drive . I have avoided anything upto now with out idrive but this one seems to good to ignore. I thought is it worth going for it and fitting an Andrive later ?

Just get makkan to do a retrofit, think its about £1200. But well worth it if the car thats popped up that you want has not got it

I was thinking about that. It's about £1200 isn't it. It's just I saw a full page ad in BMW Performance magazine for the Andrive. I've heard bad reports about early touchscreen after market jobs but thought if a mag like that was running a full page ad it may be a good piece of kit. Some may say if the company are paying for a full page ad then the mag will take their money regardless of the product. It comes in at £600 which of course is half the price of a CIC retro fit

But does it do half the things for half the price?
Also, does it still integrate with the car as much? Remember idrive isn't just a stereo

Exactly that, the android whatever it is wont be able to tell you half the stuff a cic can, full integration apps online assist etc

I'd argue Andrive can do more, as it's Android.

PBMW Editor is running one in his E39, he probably got given it, whether that means you can't trust the review is down to you. It seems a fairly quality device but it is different to iDrive.
