MINiDrive. What do you think ...

... the press will do when they finally find out MINI (when ordered with a NAV system) is coming with a MINI-ish iDrive.

That will be very interesting read.

Re: MINiDrive. What do you think ...

With no intention to bash Mini/BMW it doesn't look very ergonomic. It's very close to the gear lever.

Re: MINiDrive. What do you think ...

I 'm righting it here and i hope someone from BMW/Audi/Mercedes will notice:

Lexus system with the touch screen is better than any of the MMI, iDrive , Command systems!

Sad but true.

It's a bad pic. You can see "MINiDrive" joystick is lying between gear lever & parking brake lever. It sits below idle position of parking brake lever, so it won't obstruct gear lever usage at all.


I'm more interested in press reaction to the fact MINI is getting iDrive (in whatever form it is, in whatever position its controller sits etc). Mini was seen as cute & fun & simple, while BMW was heavily criticized for iDrive.

I can't wait to see the reaction now.

Will new MINI be criticized as well due iDrive, or press will be less bashing this time?
