I have iDrive 8 in my 2024 G21 and I use steering wheel buttons and rotary controller for 90% of all interactions with iDrive system. Maybe even more than that. In fact, before purchasing I spent 2 hours in a 2024 car to check if rotary controller is still usable for navigating and controlling the iDrive system. I came from a pre-facelift G20 in which I loved iDrive 6 paired with physical buttons for A/C and shortcuts. I find the ergonomics of that system almost perfect and I would hate to see the controller go away in the future.
There is no replacement for haptic feedback and muscle memory. Especially during driving
