Thanks everyone.

I'm glad you all like the pictures. I posted them because there isn't really a good collection of real-world iDrive pictures floating around.

The nice thing about the iDrive in the 1er is that you can put the screen down and *completely* ignore it - and enjoy the drive - unlike in all the other BMWs which have the double hump dashboards.

I've noticed that on the other BMWs, turning the screen 'off' actually just makes the screen go black, but it is *still backlit*... crazy. With the 1er, when the screen is off it is *off* and out of view.

I initially didn't like the idea of a popup screen but after using it I prefer it over the alternatives.

Cheers,

Paul
