| Re: iDrive, One of the worst automotive concepts in recent history. Well I guess that was a way to kill 8hrs.
So I drove the Caddy there.... and back... pretty much planning on towing it home.
Well, I didn't get it. The thing was a hack job and appeared to be beat on.... besides the various rust/rot while looking in places, all the wires were pulled out and hanging from the dash, stereo yanked out, some cheapo speakers thrown in the rear deck, the interior was a mess, things flat out missing, aftermarket shifter and the shifter was really loose, missing boot and stuff, it went into the gears fine, even reverse, which on BMW you gotta push further (and harder), like going into a further 1st gear. It had the sports interior, cloth.... but it was a mess and a wreck, glove box was barely hanging by a sting that tied it shut and it was crooked. Both right tires were flat, the rear tires, and especially the right rear were conviently bald, I mean no visable tread at all.... hmmm wonder what that could be? Key was in it but battery was pretty much dead. has some aftermarket fart can muffler thing, that spoiler was totally out of place etc....
I spent about 3mins looking at it, as soon as I saw it I knew I was gonna pass..... that thing was a total hack job. So I came right back.
Oh well, probably better I didn't get another car right now anyway.... however, my eye is now out for a 325i convertible... I'd like to get one of those, I'm just not in a rush. I did like the overall design and layout of the car... looks like it would be a fun little car to drive. |
