I didn’t love the new digital gauge cluster design but I’m sure I’d get used to it. In my limited experience with mbux systems I agree they are pretty inscrutable. Overall I think no one does cabin ergonomics/controls better today than bmw. So far they have resisted the trend toward touch and haptics for everything. I like how they brought back dedicated forward/back buttons on the steering wheel (while still retaining the scroll wheel). Small thing but shows how they are always trying to improve their UX rather than simply look cool and cut costs. (Like *cough* VW group)

I love that cognac interior on your new x5 Josh. Have a wanted that interior color for years but never pulled the trigger for various reasons.

Thanks. The interior is actually Tartufo. It has the extended Merino leather, so its quilted and pretty soft. I have no idea what a Tartufo is, but that's the color (I'm about to google Tartufo and educate myself).

Edit: Tartufo is an Italian ice cream dessert originating from Pizzo, Calabria. It is usually composed of two or more flavors of ice cream, often with either fruit syrup or frozen fruit — typically raspberry, strawberry, or cherry — in the center



looks and sounds yummy. I may need to taste my seats ;0

We had Saddle Brown in our first X5, which I liked a lot. (With Mineral Green, which was pretty rare.) Although, Cognac is probably pretty close to Saddle Brown. It aged really well over the 7 years we had it.
