A drop down menu will appear. As a change from earlier iDrive systems we've seen, the main menu in the i not only includes the four main function areas: Please consider whitelisting Autoblog. You can also add voice tags for all of your address book entries, but that is a tedious task. For this one, Jasmine started with iDrive, and quickly found the entertainment area with the stereo controls.

BMW Specs and Prices

Map resolution on the navigation system looks very good, and overall the i is enjoyable to drive. The Bad iDrive menus are confounding, with odd labels, and the disc changer uses a cartridge. The placement of the manual shift buttons doesn't work for sport driving, and mileage is very poor. The Bottom Line The BMW i is a big sport luxury sedan that is, in many ways, everything we would expect from BMW, but it suffers from some older technology that needs an update. When driving a big sporty European sedan, such as the BMW i, we can't help but think we should be chasing James Bond through the Swiss Alps on some winding road while our compatriots lean out the windows and shoot at him.

Of course, we know this scenario ends badly for us, with Bond pulling some kind of maneuver that will send us over a cliff with our car bursting into a ball of flame. But we can dream, can't we? The i is a muscular, refined sport luxury car that sucks gas and could probably use an update. We found its tech options a mix of old and new, with very nice map resolution on its GPS, for example, offset by a disc player that can't read MP3 CDs.

It does well on the luxury side, offering a very comfortable cabin. On the sport side, it is enjoyable to drive, with plenty of power on tap from its big V-8, but it is more of a cruiser than a canyon carver.

The cabin gadgets are controlled through the iDrive system or with voice command. To test the tech, we thought it would be interesting to put a novice behind the wheel and see how she coped with the interface. Our colleague, MP3 editor Jasmine France, was willing to be our guinea pig. Jasmine got behind the wheel, and we gave her three tasks to complete using the car's gadgets. She could use either voice command or iDrive--or a combination of both--to complete each task.

Her first task was to enter the address of CNET headquarters into the navigation system. Instead of using iDrive, she went straight for the voice-command system. By saying "navigation," she got into the main navigation menu, but she couldn't figure out the appropriate command to enter a destination.

Frustrated, she turned to iDrive. She quickly figured out how to use the menu and get into the navigation function, then to get to the destination entry screen.

She almost blew this task away by entering CNET as a place name. The listing for CNET was there, but she couldn't figure out how to select it. She went back to the address entry screen and managed to get the street address entered, but ran into more problems figuring out how to actually select and save something she entered.

Finally, she figured it out and had the address in the system. Her total time for this task: We asked her to find a song titled "" by the band Scrabbel. For this one, Jasmine started with iDrive, and quickly found the entertainment area with the stereo controls.

However, she couldn't figure out how to go from FM, the current mode, to the CD changer. She went over to voice command, initially trying to get into the voice stereo controls by saying "entertainment," which matched the onscreen menu. However, the car wouldn't respond. At this point, she discovered the Options voice command, which reads out all available commands.
