    Agreed, no curved screen. I’m a fan of analog cluster also. F30 analog cluster 8.8" screen.

    Thing about an all in one display is that if it’s going to go, it’s all going to be gone and it’s going to need replacing since you need the driver display. Can be an issue if not done properly.

    I wish both versions had more customizable gauges….thats kinda the whole upside of having screens.

    Audi pulls the customization a bit better IMO.

    Ironically I’d love a view that’s a throw back to the amber gauges but with a customizable center between the two gauges.

    I’ve used indrive 7 for 11 months and I drive 8 for 4 months. It’s not much of a difference for me, I prefer Apple car play to be used mostly anyways…

    The climate control buttons actually were not sensitive enough in my 3 series it was annoying, where as the touch screen for idrjve 8 works every time. The app for my 3 series sucked as well for pre conditioning, like worked half of the time. It works every time with the I drive 8.

    I do miss having a gear shifter though, my i4 just as that switch.

        It’s very quiet. It feels similar to a 3 series, but not quite the same. I think it’s due to being a heavier vehicle and 6 inches longer than the 3.

        I do miss my previous car sometimes, but this one is significantly cheaper to own.

    “Hey guys does anyone else prefer the horse and buggy design to these new buggies with engines?”

    I love the fact I got iDrive 7 in my new BMW. Integrated displays look so much better to me than a long slab of screen plopped on the dash. I also love that I still have buttons and dials.
