The way BMW is going buy an Audi. The new 3 series isn't that bad really. You can order a 5 series without that stupid active steering crap, and the I drive. Although it would be a base model.
Look at the bright side, M gets rid of all that stupid crap so buy an M car!
MB went the way of the I Drive as well, frankly I don't understand why buttons were replaced? They worked!
