Did you ever tried to use the rotary dial for text input? I gave up immediately. The car has a regular screen regular, no touch. Something is good only when balanced.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoYeah, agreed on a rotary dial being terrible for text input. That's where a touch screen shines. But you shouldn't need to do anything requiring text input while driving.
- kdmtctl 2y agoI barely used the dial while driving, except for track selection. There are lot of different knobs in old models)
- piperswe 2y agoThey have touchscreens now, so you can input text with an on-screen keyboard but do everything else with the controller.
- kdmtctl 2y agoSure. That what I meant balanced.
- hadlock 2y agoOnly twice in seven years did voice control not work for me. I can't recall the last time bmw didn't have touchscreen in a car but it predates 2014
- kdmtctl 2y agoI haven't had many, so I do have a touch screen. But I've tried the rotary input on a rental 2 series that had a dial but no touch screen, and I had to use the GPS.
