F30
The F30 screen sits up about 1" higher than the E90's and without its shroud there is a lot more visibility on both sides and atop it.
It's like BMW designers took the E90 iDrive's helmet off, chiseled away all that unnecessary plastic, let it breathe a bit. It now resembles an iPad, a half-tablet peeking out of the dash.
The new screen is less cumbersome, less distracting, and increases visibility. The screen is higher towards eye-level than the old one but without the big shroud it feels lower and less obtrusive. The air vents moved up, controls easier to reach too. It's a functionally brilliant re-engineering.
You're a "performance enthusiast". You should get the concept.
