We have the crystal shifter and iDrive controller in our X7 but in general, using crystal in the car is not the issue. It is the placement of the crystal parts in the iX that is causing several reviewers to say pass on them. Of course the glare may not bother everyone but for me it's not worth the risk. And personally, I like the look of the black center control panel over the wood look. But to each his own and your wife wants the bling, the bling it shall be.
