I found this LONG article from bimmerfile.com (
http://www.bimmerfile.com/2008/05/31...able/#more-288)
I tried to copy & paste it over. But the formatting got all screwed up. So just click the link to read it.
It's about the new features of the new iDrive (though some of the features mentioned in the article don't have definite release date). It really makes me want to wait till March 2009! It's gonna make the current iDrive feel inferior.
On the bright side though, I was walking by a MB ML today in a parking lot. Glanced in and saw the OLD command system. Comparing the current iDrive to it makes me feel much better. iDrive still offers much more to a tech-oriented person like myself.
The OLD command is so sorry. This is probably my #1 reason for chosing the X5 over the ML. (Obviously the X5 has a lot of other great attributes over the ML. But the ML is less expensive for a comparable equipped vehicle. I can live with the ML's poorer handling abilities. It still out classes a lot of other vehicles).
