One other observation... oh no BMW has only just copied/caught up with the double connected screen look at the dash level..... and now its moved to disconnected and the middle one is a portrait ipad.

Will we see this in a BMW concept anytime soon. Tesla and Merc now into portrait.

Don't like the touch screen its a magnet for fingerprints will have to be of some tough glass as you see what happens to phone screen with heavy use.

To be honest, I wouldnt rule a car out because it was ugly outside (I had a pre LCI E90 after all...), more bothered about how it drives and what the inside is like....

So I bought a white Audi!

Rarely touch the touchscreen in my audi as I use voice control for most things, and fingerprints dont bother me, its a car. for driving. not dusting.

Thought I'd seen in a Mat Watson video that the refreshed Tesla S has gone landscape with the screen?

How about one of these with Merino leather and a set of Nitron dampers ?

I never use touchscreen and rarely use voice control never used gesture control or lane keep assist or cruise control auto park/reverse etc.It is wasted on me.It's the idrive scroller all along and buttons for climate control .If bmw went all touchscreen I would really be sad.Gearknob is not necessary though in an auto. Head up display is the only bit of useful tech.

If it drove well enough I could live with it. My brother does drive a Ssangyong Rexton after all.....

It needs to be white, black wheels, V6 TT, 450 hp, nice interface, great nappa leather, quilted, and good suspension to be able to do drivers car and comfortable cruiser....

Pretty much agree with this 100%, although touch screen is OK when sitting at traffic lights etc

I quite like the CLA and CLS but hate the looks of this. Yuk.

CLA in AMG 45S trim looks amazing.

I get your point but on my C Class with the screen on the dash it looks awful when you can see fingerprints on it I just like my car to look neat and tidy when driving, thats why I liked the BMW better.
