Where did you hear that the iDrive has been delayed? All I've seen so far is that some people speculate that it was delayed but no concrete or official word to confirm that rumor! Do you have any links to credible sites or posts to confirm it?

Before I ordered my X6 i drove my fathers Range Rover Sport and with that kind of car i noticed that many attention was directed toward me. But with the BMW X6 on the streets the attention won't miss at all, it has such a dynamic look, it's gigantic it's fast, it has all the characteristics a good car needs.

Ok, so I quickly browsed the x5world forums, did some searching and still nothing concrete. Just rumors...
Unless I overlooked it... So until someone has something more credible, I will go by what the sales manager at my local dealership told me!

I'd be careful to make sure that the new iDrive controller and new iDrive back-end are BOTH installed from the same date..... My 35i was in for its first (15,000 mile) service today and I was given a brand new '09 528ix as a loaner for the day. I saw the new iDrive controller as soon as I got into the car and was pleased to think I would get a chance to try out V2.0.... but not to be. It has the new controller with the surrounding buttons but still the old flavour iDrive - I was very disappointed! So... just because you see the new controller does not mean you'll also see the new iDrive....!

Since he said it was a loaner maybe they have used it to cannibalize parts.

Don't think so - it was brand spanking new, and one of 4 or 5 they have at the dealership as service loaners. There was also no navigation so the 4th iDrive 'dimension' was 'Car Data' and it has the smaller screen, but definitely the 'old' processor. The addition of the buttons around the controller is definitely an improvement however! The attached link shows another thread from Bimmerfest - the 2009 5'er only gets the new controller - rest of the system upgrade from sometime in 2009.

Personally I also have to say the car looks best from the rear...mine's a black on black 50i with the ferric grey 21's so the side looks kinda cool as well!!!
BTW, the first time I picked the car up I had this three idiots in a car chase me down on the highway trying to flag me down so I can literally pull over and they check out the car. Not even with my G500 (when it first came out) or CLK 55 or RRS when it was first launched did I get this kind of attention. Honestly though, it's flattering at first then it gets annoying after a while...unless it's a smoking hot woman, then yeah...I guess I'm okay with it... |
