Couldn't agree more.
This is a 5 series, but it's luxurious, beautiful, and totally functional. Buttons are easy to reach and contoured, easy to find. Volume, presets, track, climate, couldn't be easier. iDrive knob in the right place. Touchscreen still there if you need it.
This is pure BMW. Function first. Everything thoughtfully done.
Now they're losing it, chasing fads and other brands.

Agreed. There is NO functional improvement to moving temp adjustment to the touchscreen and hiding all other climate functions behind a menu. Now the preset functions will just take you more steps. Voice is not a viable alternative. And the iX goes even further, all the iDrive and steering wheel buttons are capacitive. Good luck using that without looking down and hunting for it.
I've called and given this feedback countless times, if they remove everything I like about their cars, there's simply no reason to buy it. You should let them know too!
