According to one of the video reviews, soft-touching the buttons will display what that button is programmed for. Sounds like a nice touch, no pun intended.
Yeah the 8 preset buttons are capacitive touch like a smartphone's screen. So your finger, a stylus, or anything else that conducts a light electrical field will active those buttons. You can actually run your fingers along them and on your iDrive screen it will flow through the different assignments for the buttons. Pretty cool when you want to quickly look up what you mapped them to! :-). Kudos to BMW for starting to introduce this kind of tech.
