I test drove a new 525 the other day and had the chance to play with i-drive. I had driven an early model 7-series with i-drive and found it overwhelming. I have to say, the new i-drive was straighforward and only required to access functions I rarely use. It also allows for a much cleaner dash. The car drives so nicely and the interior materials were very nice. Very tempting.
I know it costs much more than a 9-5 ($10K) and doesnt have the accleration, but it does actually seem worth it. A little depressing to me because I love Saab. Saab interiors seem to have really fallen behind. I remember back when I bought an '85 SPG and then a 9000, the interior was one of the things that I thought was coolest about the cars.
Just my two cents.
