With my M240i, I just needed the CarPlay fullscreen hack and I'm very happy. I drove a new 3 series as a loaner not too long ago with the iDrive 7 and have to say that I didn't find the navigation screen that much of an improvement (I use CarPlay mostly anyway) and hate, hate, HATED the digital dashboard. So cluttered and redundant, tach that went the wrong way and was hard to read. For me, I was VERY glad to be back in my own car with dials I could read and I didn't miss a slightly larger screen.

I know it's all subjective tho.
Not iD. Intelligent performance (shifting, steering, braking, etc.) and safety/autonomy. Some info here:
