As far as buttons go, I think this paragraph by BMWBLOG sums it up: "Traditional controls like the familiar iDrive controller and gear shifter are gone, replaced by minimalist interfaces echoing recent BMW interior design philosophy. If you think we don’t have a lot of buttons today, then you’re in for a surprise with Neue Klasse; even climate and ventilation settings had migrated completely into the new digital iDrive X interface. Door panel controls remained familiar, while seat adjustment functions resembled those in the BMW iX."

In case you are interested, here is a thread on the X3 forum with more reviews and videos. Overall it seems to be very well received.

Ooooof. This is not for me. How am I supposed to see the screen by the windshield? Plus, if I wanted a full touchscreen car I'd have bought a Tesla.
