Don't be mistaken. I'm sure the R&D took a lot of work for the Idrive 7. But once it is developed as a system/module, they can easily put it in across all the newer models of BMW. It is designed this way to minimize the mix of components that they have to make and keep inventory.
Thanks for the info.
