I agree with him, I don't believe the iDrive will be completely eliminated, for every single model..

BMW invested too much into their interface, with the center knob, from them to just scrap it and start from scratch.

Even the current generation of touch screen seems to be more of an afterthought, to appease the current generation, than a segue into the future.

I say, for the next generation at least, the knob will linger on, on most future models.
