[QUOTE=MartinInKansas;31764220]Given the industry move away from physical buttons and controls, this seems OK.
I like the idea of a windshield display vs a larger “tablet” screen.
I don’t hate the design, but I think it’s very sad and sheeplike of BMW to scrap physical buttons.
Given the move away from buttons (and therefore away from proprioception, haptic feedback and proceedural memory), to need to use your eyes on a screen away from the road what is the point in a heads up display?! Better off putting a constant live video on the screen, or having a touchscreen windscreen (both of which are absurd suggestions I know).
I don’t write letters on touchscreen computer because it would be tedious. I wouldn’t buy a PlayStation with a touchscreen controller because it would be sh*t to use, so why on earth would I want to buy something 240 times more expensive that could kill someone when I have to look down.
The e90 generation had the easiest to use controls. I can’t see why BMW can’t at least include a row of user programmable physical buttons as per yesteryear.
