A screen that dynamic and with no tactile feedback is a poor design if that is the only way to control functions given the inevitability of their use while driving. It is slick and very cheap to implement, but not better than real buttons for commonly used functions. Frankly, iDrive bothers me in that I don't have enough/more discrete buttons between functions, but at least they throw you a bone and give you several shortcut and programmable buttons.
I agree that manufacturers are all going there, but that doesn't make it good.

I totally agree. I am in the minority here but I prefer an actual button or knob for most features I use a lot. The less used items can be buried in a menu somewhere.
