Do you think your interior is plain without idrive/navi?

New owner here w/o iDrive. Buying used it didn't factor in one bit. I dislike built in Nav. I do like toys, but meh. As to the look, I like the dash a little better without, but wouldn't have been a deal breaker either way.
I *do* wish I had USB or....something. |

i would never buy a BMW without idrive, wall high end cars have built in nav, it make the interior look 100x better and less boring. but idrive is more than the nav, it controls my whole car, i love that. it it was just nav it would be different but it has such integration into the car that if you dont get it you miss out on a some cool features and makes the other features easier to use. for example i couldnt imagine changing the logic 7 EQ without idrive since i change it few times a day

I prefer w/o idrive/navi so I can concentrate on my driving. My wife's X3 has idrive & I get easily destructed whenever I'm using it.

Had a 2006 325i before with no navi for years. Now have 2011 335d with navi and can't imagine live without it.
But old pre-2010 navi looks like crap, so I could see how some might render it useless. |

on e9x, i think the dash looks way cleaner withOUT the double hump of the nav/info screen. I think the new Lexus GS and the new Audi's have the cleanest integration of nav screens onto the dash.

That said, I've really warmed up to the idrive. I just got the upgraded 2013 map disc and I found a sweet shortcut on my way to work I wouldn't have noticed otherwise saving me from driving through a sh!tty construction zone. It's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me. It adds to my enjoyment of the car for sure. |

I felt the no navi look is more classic, I have mine with dark wood with a black interior. Plus it would be a nightmare if the iDrive stopped working, I don't want to have to worry about that.

It's obviously nice to have for a lease car but if you're planning to keep the car for a long time, the iDrive is a potential failing point that is more difficult to repair, than say, a leaky exhaust.

I bought an an used 328i from the dealership and the iDrive/Navi wasnt an option. I dont regret my purchase but if i could do it all over again i would of waited for one with the iDrive. The Navi itself doesnt call my attention, but all the options and the easier Music Browsing does. I looked into retrofit but i'm better off waiting for a 335i w/ Navi trade-in.

Now pressing that key will switch off the display. I programmed it to the 1 key.

I dont, I prefer it without a stupid screen being shoehorned in. Besides, my android phone is a superior navigation and entertainment system and i control the software on it instead of being locked into whatever BMW installs/updates.

Any gadget inside the car will distract from the pleasure of driving. WHo cares what the car looks like? The important thing is what it feels like to you.

I do not have iDrive. Doesn't bother me at all.
