The iDrive7 in my G82 seems like the right blend. I use the physical buttons for HVAC and the memory buttons all the time. Give me the large idrive8 screens AND keep the physical buttons and I'm happy. I love analog gauges, but those are done. Time to move forward.

I didn't think I would like the i8 screen (ordered initially before the switch), but now that I see it, I dig it. I don't care that the temp controls are behind some screen presses, but using the assistant helps: "hey gamora, I'm warm" --and she changes the temp.

I almost never use the iDrive controller or the touchscreen to browse my flash drive (with over 10k tracks on it) for the music I want to listen to, as an example. Two cars ago, I always did as the Voice Control wasn't great at the task. Reviewers are great at being annoyed at the assistant speaking up when they don't want it to, but as an owner that's something you get past as you get used to your car. |

Some point I'll be swallowing my pride and get a G80 LCI though as I don't see any better options on the horizon. Won't be going EV until its forced down our throats. |

I’ve had my g80 id8 for a couple months now…and coming from an F30…I don’t miss the buttons at all.
Zero. The auto climate control is awesome…never have to touch the temp controls. Everything else is pretty much Carplay. Also the display is glorious. |
