Exactly. Probably they’re mostly old people, I don’t get it. Like those who buy iPhone SE over iPhone 13 to have a button

Or maybe they have no idea what costs what.

News flash: R&D and dev costs that goes to that totally new software and the BOM of 15” way brighter, sharper screen and faster CPU are exponentially higher than that plastic gear lever and than keeping the old system that I have in my car right now.
There is no ‘cost savings’ in this interior.

And I have idrive7 and 2021 M340i. My car is NOT better than this one just because I have it
