touch screen
so now that the coupe and ragtop are gone, looks like they are getting rid of the knobs too. all digital touchscreens in the future?

What are you talking about wrt/ the Coupe and Vert? I heard this rumor early on but assumed—based on ordering guides and the like—that it was indeed just a rumor. |

As for the Coupe's and Convertibles, at least they made the 2021 cut so now the bogey is 2022 in regards to the rumor mill. My money is on them making it but it all may come down to 2021 model year sales. Last edited by bloozemanAZ; 06-24-2020 at 10:51 PM.. |

Yes I'm with you brothers. In addition to the points above, whenever I get into my friends Tesla, the first thing I always notice is the finger print marks and dust/muck across his big screen. He's not a grub either. So one of the problems BMW will need to solve is a mark free surface, should they decide to head down this path.

Well, Mercedes with MBUX replaced their wheel/trackpad with a haptic track/touchpad and this thing sucks...
Still, I use that trackpad over the touch screen or voice. Interestingly, the new S-Class appears to have a huge HUD. That, alone with voice could make a difference. |

It is rare that I hate everything about a car's interior, but that one would make the cut.

I love HUD's, especially at speed. Just requires non-polarized sunglasses... |

Found HUD distracting on test drives so a certain Z4 patiently awaiting an ocean voyage is without. Will adapt next time.

Looking forward to pics of the Z4 when it lands and I know all to well regarding the ocean voyage anticipation after two builds for my M850i. FYI there is a Bimmerpost posting on how to track the car, etc. while on the train, ship, etc. |

Loading day carrier shot. Anticipate August delivery. Several calculated build omissions because it's planned as more of a transition than a keeper. Believe I made good decisions. TBD. Planning a few cosmetic mods. 5 SLs are a tough act to follow. |

Given that you're in FL once the ship makes its way to the US East Coast your Z4 should be stop #2 or #3 but that just depends on if there are any cars on-board BMW will deliver through Baltimore. If not your stop #2 as the closest VDC to your location is in Brunswick Georgia. Since you placed the order on the Z4 it should be a priority 1 and spend 1 to 3 days tops to be processed at the VDC after clearing customs. |
