I just want the drive-train out of that thing. Think it would be perfect in an e46 m3 chassis

Is this posted anywhere downloadable? I'm at work and they recently killed streaming video, ugghhh!

Or could someone kindly post this for a desperate fellow such as myself?

i've had my M5 for about 6 weeks. I actually like all of the customization features.. I just wish that i could make the idrive react faster

there is certainly a learning curve with the idrive.. its not as intutive as say the IPOD. It took me about 30 seconds to get hte hang of the ipod.

I think if your comfortable with windows xp and going into the control panel to change some features the Idrive is a snap.

I like the idea of being able to almost totally customize your driving experience.

Major P.I.T.A if you borrowed or test-drove the car. But spending 20 minutes or so 'customizing' MY car wouldn't bother me much if at all.
