My dislike -- nay, hate -- for the iDrive is well documented. How a company that can build such masterful driving machines is capable of building such a PoS driver user interface is still a mystery to me.

Great poster, Michelle. Made me smile.

You must really hate the iDrive. I thought for sure you would make a comment on the efficient German sex part

LOL You were the first person I thought of when I saw it.

I guess I'll move it on over to the "Non-Politically Correct Thread" now.

I'm of Hispanic descend. I wouldn't know a thing about efficient German sex.

And, yes, I hate the iDrive with a passion. It's inefficient (unlike their sex, apparently), overly-complicated, and takes too long to learn. The hallmark or good user interface is how intuitive it is. In other words, does it "make sense"? can I figure out how to program a radio station without struggling for 10 minutes, or without reading the manual. To wit:

Programming a Radio Station -- Before iDrive:
1. Turn radio on.
2. Press "Seek" until desired station appears.
3. Press and hold one of the pre-set buttons. You're done.

Programming a Radio Station -- with iDrife:
1. Wait 30 seconds for BMW menu to appear.
2. Press "Accept"
3. Turn radio on.
4. Select "Entertainment"
5. Select "AM//FM Radio"
6. Select "FM"
7. Select "Seek" until desired station appears.
8. Press and select "Store"
9. Repeat Steps 1 - 9 to re-store radio station because iDrive saved stored radion station by the song that was playing at the time!!!!
10. Repeat Steps 1 - 9 for every radio station you want to store.

You get the point... And, this is just a "simple" task with the radio!! Don't make me go into the even more fucking horrible navigation menu!!! Arrgggghhh!!! I'm getting all verklempt just thinking about it.

Nope! Mr. Meister needs to chill and learn how to take a fucking joke.

As far as kaefer's comment goes, I won't even dignify it with a reply it's so stupid.

You feel better now?

No, your point was not missed at all. What I'm saying is that you're incredibly thin-skinned. I'm Colombian. You don't think I've heard my share of crude, insensitive jokes?

Chill, dude. That's all it was: a joke. Stop taking shit so seriously.

Haven't you ever heard of voice commands?
Come on bro get with the program...

Shit! I didn't know you were Colombian! I will be a hell of a lot nicer to you from now on! I don't want a necktie for Christmas!
