Video: BMW's iDrive

It also drives most of us nuts for one reason or another. Check out senior editor Joe Wiesenfelder pointing out just why it has such a bad reputation.

I've read so many rants against I-Drive but I still laugh out loud. What an insane system for their controls. One favorite thing I've read about I-Drive and other "all-in-one" systems is the "lawyer" screen you have to accept when you start the car, agreeing that you won't use it while the vehicle is in motion because it's a dangerous distraction!
