Everything about it seemed weird. All I could hear was him tapping away at the screen and reading dialogue boxes and tapping to select/accept, etc. Looked cool as hell but unlike iDrive where you can get close to a selection, get your eyes back on the road, and glance once more for the final selection, the big screen doesn’t allow that. Your finger is floating in the middle of a huge screen and to look away essentially means starting over which clearly forced him to want to finish the selection. I feel that way about the touch screen on the M3 even though it’s about 1/8 the size. That’s why I almost exclusively use the iDrive knob.
