Wife got iDrive in her 335i, and loves it - she cannot understand what the car mags are talking about. Also, had a Lexus couple in the back seat on a long trip, and they remarked at how much nicer the iDrive was than the Lexus system.

So it looks like iDrive is a polarizer - some hate it, some love it.
