This latest version of iDrive is equipped with six Programmable Memory Keys that allow the driver to program functions that are used particularly often such as navigation destinations, radio stations or specific telephone numbers. Touch-sensative sensors on these buttons preview the function on the iDrive screen before the button is depressed. This allows the driver to choose the stored function safely and conveniently, keeping his or her eyes on the road in the process.

I wonder if the 08 3 series will have this too...

The 2007 3 series already has this. It works on my car.

Now, if I could only have 6 FM and 6 AM presets. Or even better, 6 FM1, 6 FM2, etc. Like most other radios now days.

I knew about the 6 buttons...but I guess no one really mentions the touch sensitive part

my bad!
