If you're going to listen to MP3's on a flash drive then I would really recommend the system. My last car didn't have it and it was brutal to find the right song.
That said there are lots of after market options (mostly Chinese no name) that are far cheaper. But of course the quality is significantly lower as well.
I'm happy to have iDrive and I use it all the time
Edit: keep in mind that if your previous car had the CCC system then that might have been the cause of many of your issues. The X1 comes with the slightly newer CIC which is much better.
