If this new i-drive menu system is more efficient, it could be the best of both worlds.......maybe

- and the new knob locks GOOD! Don't mind if it looks like Audi - Audi's got a perfect and easy to handle system... so why not go in that direction.
Much better than the clumsy old one anyway.
So, also for me the first thing to be real jealous about.
