Yep. All cars get iDrive, but only navigation-equipped vehicles get the larger screen, since the extra real-estate is only needed when you're displaying maps, etc. The screen is the exact same setup that's in the new the F20 1 series (the F20 and F30 share an amazing amount of interior componentry)

You can also look to the E60 / F10 5 series (and current X3 as well, I believe) that have standard iDrive - those vehicles, when not equipped with nav get smaller screens.

What I'm wondering is what are we missing out on without getting the larger screen, such as the engine performance displays on the Sport Line. In the photos, the graphics looked too big to fit on the smaller screen. We'll see soon enough...
