Dang! BMW just got ripped a new one!

I am no idiot when it comes to dealing with computer UI, and I too dislike iDrive. I hope BMW re-thinks iDrive's place in the company's future!

Wow, they like the other three and pretty much dismiss the BMW. The boys in Munich better fix their flagship.

Someone over at roadfly said it best: What good is building the Ultimate Driving Machine if its interior control system is so bad that it overshadows all other positive aspects?

Too bad the VW Phaeton was not included in the test for sh!ts and giggles.

I love the 745Li, such a beautiful car.

Purpose? Germans needed a way to force their need for an organized, uncluttered dashboard on the rest of the world. That's basically it.
