iDrive 7.0 is definitely more advanced than 6.0 and offers more features, however I find that 6.0 is just a lot easier to use and has a better layout with less clutter. 7 definitely has more sub menu's than 6 (although both still have more than necessary in general) but finding settings is easier in 6.
Truthfully though, it doesn't make much a difference to me, once I set up all of my settings, I tend to just leave things the way they are, and then use CarPlay for Spotify and Google Maps, since I don't use the radio or BMW Nav or Phone interface. I rarely interact with iDrive on a daily basis. Same thing with my Merc, set it and forget it. Only time I go into the command system is to change the ambient lighting or drive mode settings.
