BMW I-Drive

UGH! What a mess!

15 Credits away from a degree in Info Systems, and I STILL can't tune the
radio!

[Ruffrydasean]

Maybe I should go check out a BMW dealership to check one of these out to see what the hell is so complicated about them.. I here everyone complaining about it.. it can't be that hard.. can it?

A friend of mine has one. He's had it since May, and he still has trouble
with it. The menus are not intuitive enough to allow you to do thins
quickly enough.

If you've ever read one of the posts I've made about the driving ability
of BMW drivers, the LAST thing you want in their cars is something that
distracts them for more then 2 seconds...

fall in love with a rich person.

In theory, it can't possibly be that hard. Practice seems to be another
matter entirely.

Hey! I'm a BMW driver, and except for totalling my car last week, I'm pretty
good at driving it.

Hey, it was the old lady in the double knit lime green pants suit that
turned left in front of me ... I was minding my own business, dialing the
radio in, talking on the phone eating a burger while getting a fax on my
wireless computer connected to the internet and fixing my nails.

That's just sick! They were tied to the waste of a lady that had to be at
least 70 ...

I'd never know her age or the color of her pant suit fi she didn't make me
spill my coffee.

I'll post this one again. Back in the mid-80's they were rebuilding Rt 91
through northern CT, and they startted with the bridge going across the Ct
River. They started at one end on one side, and they had traffic on the
other side coned off to 2 lanes from 3. This woman in a BMW (older,
probably early-mid 50's) is driving in the far left hand lane, and passes
a sign, Merge Right, 2 MI. Then a sign that says, Merge Right, 1 MI. Then
one that says, Merge Right, 1/2 MI (in the meantime, the rest of us are
all in the right hand lanes, with just a dweeb or tow not merging...) then
Merge right 1/4 MI, then the cones. She got down to the LAST GOSH-DARN
CONE and was sitting there, wondering why everyone was wizzing right by
here, leaving her there...
