iDrive
In the 7 series I had a number pad to dial through blue tooth so I didn't need the Idrive for that. I also didn't have ipod integration into the stereo. But for some reason it feels as though the idrive system is completely connected to the daily driving experience. It's neither a good thing or a bad thing. I do miss having the numpad in the 7 series. That was a genius feature and am shocked they did away with it. Made dialing so much easier. And no, I don't use the voice command system for anything. It's annoying as all hell.

I use my i-drive for just about everything too (on my 4.8i) but it does get annoying without a 'back' button. Click on the wrong item and you pretty much have to hit the menu button and start over!
The phone feature through i-drive is too cumbersome; having to scroll and click on each digit to call a number. I do love the voice dialing and use it everyday! Simply say 'dial number' and you can say the whole 10 digit number without pausing and it gets it right everytime! In fact I don't think it's ever got it wrong. Other voice commands I commonly use are 'sat radio' or 'aux audio' for the ipod without having to hit the mode button several times. The lag time is also annoying. If you hit 'mode' for radio, you have to wait for it to kick in or you might be on to the next mode such as CD...But I guess you don't have that problem with the next gen i-drive!
