BMW has had this out for a while. Not sure why this is news.
I also love the fact that you took the opportunity to mention iDrive. Isn't that special. iDrive may be 'unintelligible' to the unintelligent - but for those of us with basic reading comprehension skills and the patience to read the manual for the expensive car we just bought (shouldn't you do this anyway?) it is not bad at all. I guess it is just popular to bash it and gives you some nice filler.
The demand for more and more features leads to more control options. If there were buttons for everything, you and your ilk would complain about the "sea of black buttons" (that was, in fact, one of the prior complaints about BMWs). Or I guess everything could be automatic, like a Lexus....oh wait, everyone nit picks on that because you don't have the same options to defeat the various electronic aids. YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!!!!!
You should really try a new BMW out. Most of the major controls for audio and climate control are duplicated (twice in the case of the audio).
