BMW (and other manufacturers) need to look this up.
They seem to have lost their way with this.
A touch screen is not the right input method to enter in any information in a moving car.
FFS
just because its cheaper to make I suspect doesn't mean its right.
The panoramic display is is a gadget. the information is now spread over a wide area where you have to now look instead of being driver focused right in front of you.
personally through they got it about right with ID6/7 depending upon what you prefer there. Their HUD was really good, information focused 6 foot ahead of you on the bonnet right in your line of sight.
Well BMW lost me as a customer when they brought out idrive 8. and they are getting worse in my opinion.
Do they really think we're impressed with this?
We've certainly passed peak car for many reasons, and this is one of them.
the X5 is one of their big sellers, so be interested how this goes down.
Don't chase the chinese market, its a different taste to Europe and the US.
Its so sad.... what have you done BMW??
