Slightly off-topic (OK, totally) but do you guys have that lovely crystal shifter?
Yup, we have it on ours.
I like my aluminum and leather-bound shifter and the gate itself is nice, too. But that thing is LOVELY!!

What are the iDrive controller surfaces and the piano black button surface made of—are they glass, too, or plastic?

Chrystal top glass on the iDrive controller but that's it as all buttons are piano black. You can see it in Da808dad's posting of pics.

I've got all the glass controls too. I never would have ordered it, but it was the car off the lot. and I'm kinda glad because the glass volume knob and touchpad are kinda cool.

I figured. I think the glass or ceramic surfaces are a huge step up. Not a fan of our button surface or its implementation—previous generation iDrive buttons were better.

Forgot that and it's modeled after the iDrive controller so in essence just a mini version of it.
