I have RSE and TV and the dealer through in two sets of wireless headsets.

What I think is good:

Each screen can watch tv or dvd independently or together
Full iDrive functionality - i.e. navigation, music, vehicle details etc
Audio can be played via the cars speakers or headphones
Play video from USB - I can only get home movies to play - I think commercial videos in my iTunes folder have DRM
You can control content from the front iDrive or via the remote in the rear

Not so good

Can't play video from my iPod 4 (running iOS6) or iPhone 5S (iOS7)

Sure it's an expensive option but it does work well and look good.
If I were buying again I'd still choose it.
Let me know if there's specific you'd like to know.
