I wonder if the steering wheel gizmo is optional. Some fool's gonna be spinning through their iPod instead of watching the road.

Looks like this is the ZHP model or (M-Sport)
The parking brake has perforated leather that matches the perforated "M" steering wheel and the trim is the Aluminum Cube from the previous ZHP.

This is exactly why I decided to wait. I'm hoping to get a coupe with DCT and updated Idrive.
Doesn't specify when we'll see the DCT. But if I have to wait til 2010, I might end up getting the sedan if they come out with the ZHP package for 2009. And also curious whether the 135 will get these options. Decisions, decisions |

So as I see it there is a single button to get you to tele, CD, Radio, etc right next to the wheel. If that's the case along with the scroll on the steering wheel for iPod or phone lists, I would say that's alot of enhancements which I'm sure all tie into the new MyInfo. What's the button below the tele say?

Wow this is great news, thank god I will not be the one fucked this time. I bought the 06 330i then the 335i came out in 07, now the BS has been spread evenly to the 335i owners with the DCT in 09. No offense I'm just kidding all. With so much competition technology wise, cars are ever changing in today's present marketplace.

+1 the knob function is probably totally different. Not to mention you have to retrofit the trim around it.

I'm guessing it says "Nav". $hit my eyes hurt now.
I have mixed feelings about the added buttons on the wheel and console. I definitely applaud the more "user friendly" quick access buttons, but I think they could have left out a few. Now it looks like an Audi console with tons of buttons around everywhere and I personally find it more distracting. |

How many buttons on that thing? It looks like a step backwards to me. Despite it's many shortcomings, the one sound design decision that BMW made with the current iDrive is that you don't have to take your eyes off the road to operate it. With this version, you would end up looking down to see which button to press.
I do agree that overall the UI does need an overhaul, but this looks like a move in the wrong direction. We'll have to trust that they know what they're doing...
