BMW is sooo stupid, why would you have basically the same systems with different functionality. You think it would be a way to create a common set of features.
Well, the F10/F11 is a new model. The screen is also bigger I think (10" vs. 8.8?). There's a lot in the new 5-series that isn't in the E70 yet. When the next iteration comes (in 2014 or whenever), I'm sure it'll have all that and then some.

I spent an afternoon in the new 550i (not at a driving event, but on my own). Very nice car but didn't meet my needs. I realllly wanted it to though. I'm super happy with the X5 5.0i though and don't regret for a second the choice or anything I might have given up in the switch.
