    And it took how many years of customers complaining about how unintuitive and downright silly the operation of I-Drive was before finally listening and getting it right?(according to this source anyway). Well over a decade.

    Always been my problem with BMW and now PSBMW (Pint Size BMW, formerly known as a Mini). their engineers seem to develop their cars and it's accessories to satisfy their sense of accomplishment rather than what works on the road, in the real world (i.e., that multi-colored halo in the new PSBMW)

    Simply brilliant!!! :Thumbsup: :yesnod:

    I really dislike the trend of cars becoming mobile cell phones with touch screen carp. With knobs once you build some muscle memory they become quite intuitive. Just reach over & give them a tweek without taking your eyes off the road. Building distracted driving into new cars is just plain stupid.
