Next gen iDrive looks pretty cool
 

Hope it makes it to the new X5.

Looks good.

Pretty nice.

I want!!!!

I wish we could at least get the nav software upgrade.

The BMW GPS hardware and display are already an A+ in my opinion. MY question is when will they get accurate data behind the GPS to support the hardware? I give their GPS database and routing a D at best.

They need to go back to using NACTEQ and ditch Tele Atlas. But, being Euro-centric, I suspect they will stick with TeleAtlas.

Looks nice. Would be cool to have the google street view integrated now in the current generation of BMW Online...

It is ironic that as the software improved, the maps were ruined with the dismissal of NAVTEQ.

I agree. The routing makes no sense most of the time. The database is terrible, which contributes to the 20+mile detours that it tries to send me on. The time to target estimations are ridiculous, since it thinks any two lane road has a max speed limit of 25mph. To top it off, my 2012 does not even have the road my house is on. The road has been public since 2007.

It apparently takes a while for the news to get to the Netherlands....
