NOOB iDrive question

MVSandman · 02-28-2010, 11:21 PM

Hi all, I'm just about to pick up my "new" 2009 335i. (Premium, Sport, comfort, Logic-7, Sat/Serius etc.) I elected to get one without iDrive. Now, I've read a lot of the debates regarding iDrive or Not, but I still have 1 question....

WITHOUT the iDrive, is it possible to control the various convenience features like courtesy lights, DRL, seat position memory etc? It seems from the owner's manual that you need iDrive to control these things, but if that were so, it would make half of the stuff in Premium pkg or Comfort Access useless.... Am I smoking crack?

What do y'all think?

Yes, but you would just do it through the turn signal stalk.
