2010 X6M I-Drive system
My car is finally in production! Just have a question about the new I-drive system in the 2010 model years. My wife has a 09 335ic with the new idrive system and she has a hard drive with here system that allows your download music off your cd's into the hard drive. I noticed on the X6 standard options list that the nav system is DVD based and not hard drive based. Is this true? Can anyone with the new I-drive system verify this?

I agree... the X6M and X5M are hard drive-based system and you can indeed download your music. The drives aren't terribly huge but hey, its still better than DVDs. I also agree that in 2009, BMW is deserving of solid state drives to bolster its image. Geesh! But, in the X6M, I won't worry so much. The THRILL is in the ride!

+1 considering that the price of solid state has dropped a bunch can not think of a reason BMW would still be doing hard drives. My X6 came with the 6-dvd changer in the glove box, it collects dust as I have ipod nano plugged in that is easier to update (don't have to burn dvd's) and only takes up a small amount of space. Do folks that don't have the dvd in the glove box have a bigger glove box ? |

i.e. "Call John Davis" The current system automatically sync your phone contacts to the car's iDrive each time you start the car. Not even Lexus does that. But for some reason, advanced voice recognition and the phone integration was dumbed down. Not sure why.

I have to check on the voice recognition piece. I am pretty sure the demo allowed you to do this.. will check and report back. Was that for the entire lineup of the 2010?
