Ilyam5 is correct that there's a learning curve, but coming from iDrive 6, you should have an easier time than someone who has never used iDrive.

If you can just be ok with the fact that you may or may not have the latest software and/or features...you'll be fine. My only piece of advice, other than this forum, your best friend will be the power knob. I would practice holding in a button for 30 seconds. Then, you'll be ready to go! Overall, love the vehicle though, but have to give BMW a hard time given the price tag and (minor) shortcomings.
Wait sorry. I didn't get the power knob and 30seconds comment.
Are you referring to hard reset of idrive7?

If it is a hard reset, does it mean all customizations and settings are lost? Or is it just a soft reset.
