And they had to spend money to redesign these "improvements."
Funny how no one mentions dead pixels, longevity, etc. I have iDrive and I love it. But if my screen fails and goes black, I can still drive the car. Wonder what happens when the entire instrument cluster fails?

Planned obsolescence. Had an '04 e60 545 w/ idrive. Specifically avoided it on the next car.
