Personally I didn't like the idrive 8 especially that it's a new thing so technically you're a beta tester. I rushed to order my X5 G05 last year to make sure it will not be replaced with the idrive 8. When tested idrive 8 at dealership it didn't appeal to me much but the lack of physical buttons was a deciding factor for not to get it. I'm assuming it was purely cost saving excercise executed badly - without passing the saving to the customers. Looking at Mercedes, the idrive 8 cockpit acts as old design, implemented by Mercedes long time ago which they've already dropped from their new lines. Despite being a huge fan of BMW, fact that BMW not updating their system via OTA often (I would say at least in pair with the Android / iOS major updates) sucks.
