This is why I won't even consider a pre-LCI 8 series.The tech is just way behind overall versus other BMW models....
I'm actually very happy the 8 doesn't have the ID8 screen. Having been behind the wheel of Tesla's / e-Mustangs, etc. I actually find the massive touch screens to be a distraction and unsafe. I can do everything I need / want to do from the ID7 control by the shifter, without having to navigate an on-screen touch interface. I suppose it is all user preference. I do have real concern about drivers spending too much time looking at those big screens and not enough time looking at the road.
