Those Android-based car interfaces are good for the unwashed masses buried in their smartphones all day long, and therefore are more applicable to entry-level A to B transportation pods such as VWs, Toyotas etc: However I believe that BMWs should be on a higher level of precise connection and interaction between the driver and the machine. For that you need buttons, rows of them, like in a cabin of F-16. In this way your brain synapses must actually fire when you're trying to interact with the machine, instead of simply going through the motions of menus within menus. Yawn. But with the buttons your brain actually gets engaged and then rewarded by the machine quickly responding, which creates a transcending experience. Add a precise manual transmission and it is heaven, too bad it is all going away, because BMW entirely forgot what it is about.
