What exactly do you hate? I have an 08 550i and never really had any problems with the Idrive. In fact, I find other newer cars lacking with features compared to BMW. The Bluetooth works flawlessly, along with the intergrated Ipod and Sat radio. I am sure there are those that want a car that completely removed of any complicated interfaces, but if you want all these features you need someway to access all of them. Take a look at BMW's or Mercedes about 10 years ago and the only way to achieve this was to put about 30 buttons on the dash. I'll sacrifice a couple steps to have a cleaner interior. It is easy to jump on the "I hate Bangle, I hate Idrive" bandwagon. This is my 4th BMW in 10 years. It won't be my last.
