The voice commands are far more reliable in the BMW compared to the Merc but Mercedes Me is a million times better than Connected Drive |

My wife had a GS350 with the newer "mouse" controller. If the GX460 had the mouse I would not have bought it. I've had my 540 for going on three years and I still don't always know whether to go into "vehicle settings" or "Idrive settings" to change things. Some cars are better than others, but none of them is perfect. My favorites were my two A7 Audi's.

Overall BMW is way better than other brands infotainment systems. The bad news is other brands set the bar too low. It's a relatively pathetic group of offerings, so not too difficult for BMW to win. I'm thrilled they're at the top of the food chain, and hope they don't lose sight of the ease of use and intuitiveness of iDrive.

And I find the Audi MMI to be really nice in some ways and unbelievably frustrating in others. Just trying to find, change priority, delete a Bluetooth connected device can drive you to drink. And the new dual LCD system is not good IMO. Lower LCD is too low and you have to take your eyes off the road to locate buttons.

Unless an update has changed it, mine does not have the option. I tried shortly after I got the car. I'll try to remember to look for it again in the next couple of days.

I looked for it this morning. I definitely do not have an analog clock option.
