New 2-Series Leaks Confirm All-Touch iDrive with no Controller

The 2-series Active Tourer, you know, that one FWD BMW that no one likes and is sold in Europe, well suddenly that model just became a whole lot more important to the future of BMW.

Those of us on the forums all know one great aspect of BMW's cars is their great MMI system, iDrive, which uses a scroll-wheel based controller to use the system. Well, in spy shots of the new 2-series Active Tourer, it is clear that the iDrive controller appears to be going away in favor of an all touch screen system. Along with the controller, the 8-preset buttons as well as physical HVAC controls are also missing, as they can be seen to be implemented within the screen. While the interior remains unfinished, its clear from the screens that the future of BMW's iDrive will be radically different.

Here's some spy shots of the interior below.







Update: 10/5/2021
New leaked images confirm the 2AT will be the first iDrive equipped BMW to feature an all-touch MMI with no controller.
