BMW came up with the system in late 2001 and now every major luxury car has a similar system... go figure. |
I'm sure the I-drive is okay once you figure it out, but I don't understand why they couldn't use a PC based interface that everybody is familiar with. Instead of the knob, why couldn't they use the directional keys with an enter button like your computer keyboard has to navigate the menus.
