Same with the angled center screens.
For me anyway that large uncovered screen is a deal breaker. I could not buy one of those designs.
So many times I've been excited to see this or that car and, boom, it has a flat screen uncovered. Interest drops to zero.
Some of the reviewers feel the same way as me. YUCK !
Oh, I'm not saying everyone is in love with it, just that many of the people that hate it are people like me who have really never actually used it for any extended period of time. I'm surprised several iterations, years and cars in that BMW hasn't improved the design to make it more integrated. I'll likely eventually get a new X3 and it seems that its the same design on the interior of that, to BMW isn't making much headway in improvements there.
