They are a great drivers car, no looker (but then BMW have really lost their way on this in the last 10+years) and I bloody hate the way car manufacturers are stacking displays like monitors on a work bench in the interior (But I guess even we will go that way potentially at some point).

Hopefully a good realiable fun car !

The straight six BMW was always the best they did 

That was pretty much my thoughts when I looked at the interior pic, but I guess when your sat in the drivers seat you're looking at a nice big spread out display, rather than peering into a little binnacle.

The 'curved screen technology' looks like it has just been plonked there without any thought about making it appear integrated. Not quite as bad when you are sitting behind it though.

I really don't like the display and all the wanky apps but as Mark says this is the direction we are heading. It comes from the milk float BMW's.

The speedo and rev counter are difficult to read at a glance, and in comfort and eco mode are virtually unreadable.

It is good to drive though and surprisingly quick.

Good. That's what you waited all this time for while the Mexicans were slumbering under their sombraros!

I found a 10KG bag of white powder in the boot which adds to the weight and slows the car down.

No idea what it was.

Daz?

He gets the blame for everything

Probably followed Tesla as some of thier cars and ideas became best sellers in the market.

I suspect it's just cheaper than having real dials and lights on the dash...

Its not, the big issue is the ADAS systems are resulting in the need for a stack of legal and driver assist views which means you either need a huge quantity of telltails or use an LCD (or OLED for the future models).

What I don't like is the lack of attempt to even make it look like its part of the IP

Cleaner installation presumably 

Although that is subjective...
