BMW engineers gave the background of their iDrive philosophy
Considering many folks here are "obsessed" ( ok IMHO) with the new idrive gadget ...

Thanks for the link.
I am soooo glad that BMW will not go down the touch screen route. As they said it may be cheaper but distracts you far more from the road than the system they implemented. Also, seeing all those touch screens in other cars at the resent auto show I went to with all the finger prints and scratches on them, made me glad I have an iDrive controller. Never had to clean my iDrive screen so far And yes, the new iDrive is far more logical and easier to use. Good job BMW!

Glad they are steering clear of touch screens. I hate touch screens with a passion.

Agree on the touch screens, imagine leaning over to do something while driving .
unless of course they are going to put the screen in the console where the knob is , not. Last edited by dmlgc; 05-05-2009 at 01:03 PM.. |
