Navigating any more than 3 in screen elements is dangerous with jog wheels, IMO. It requires switching visual attention from the road several times. It's even worse with hierarchical navigation. For those a touch screen is much more direct and requires less hand/eye coordination and focus.

I'm skeptical that the power train type of a car would make one route significantly more efficient than another. The biggest factor in route efficiency is route length and the speed it is driven at, not the power train.
- awiesenhofer 4y ago> switching visual attention from the road Not really. If its a rental and your first BMW sure, get familiar with the system. But once you are familiar you can use most of it blind - without taking your eyes of the road. Just turn the wheel 3 steps to the right, press, two steps left etc.pp. Its way more intuitive and safer than a touchscreen.
