iDrive isn't that bad. The older iDrive OS's were worse. Just takes time to adjust to it.
That said, I think you're nuts for "stretching the budget" to accommodate a 550i and thinking it's a good idea. Remember how much they sold for brand-new. Then consider if you can afford the maintenance on that sort of scale. There's a reason we keep recommending the I6 BMWs, less complexity throughout the car.
