Polarized glasses + iDrive display = no go
Forgot to add this to my observations yesterday. The iDrive display on my 335 worked like a champ with my polarized Ray Bans... not so much on the M3. It's got splotches of dark on the left and right. I'm thinking this isn't a manufacturing defect, but rather I just got really lucky with the 335.

That is a major bummer.

that's strange - my poloarized ray bans gave me the same problem on myE46 M3 navi - but i can read my idrive with the same glasses fine.
guess the lcd is set at 90 degrees compared to the lcd on the e46.. (had to tilt my head to read the older one) maybe there's a slight variance between screens. |

Tried my own suggestion and it doesn't work worth a shit. It actually made it worse, only worked in the 335i. Sorry for the false info.

Mine sucks. Splotchy dark spots here and there. They move around when you tilt your head. Very annoying

It's not that bad for me. Some parts of it are dark, and others aren't. It's a lot better than the LCD on the E46.

bringing this back from the dead since I can't find anything recent on this...
Is this still an issue with the newer M3 iDrive displays? I have an '11 on the way and it bugged me enough that I'll skip the polarized glasses if it is still an issue. My non-iDrive 08 335i console had major issues with polarized glasses. |

No problems here but I'm short (5'-5") so I'm close to looking dead on at the screen. I can imagine if I was taller and looking at the screen at a down angle it would be pretty bad.

Same here. No issues at all with any of my polarized Oakley's (I've worn 4 different pairs so far) and 2011 nav.
