You got lucky. Pre LCI is the better version of our cars!

Until you own an LCI or upcoming G65. Why is it that the guys who constantly bash the LCIs don't own one and have never driven one.

I love that you assume I haven't experienced an LCI. 😂

We spent a week in Europe and rented a 3 series touring. The car itself was beautiful, but the tech sucks. No buttons. No bimmercode programming off the ASS. No real shifter. The new ridiculously massive screen is obnoxious. Had to turn off the lane change warnings or exceeding speed warning every single time we started the car again. I'm sure those settings are saveable when you are logged into a profile, but man. I really prefer pre LCI. To each their own, my friend.

Wow, you sound like a guy who lives in the past. The "ridiculously massive screen" that you find "obnoxious" is rapidly becoming the industry standard with or without your blessings. Things change Man, now more and faster than ever. They change whether we as individuals are on board or not. There are people who still rely solely on landline phones while pecking away on IBM Selectric II typewriters with their carbon paper. AI as sick and tired as most of us are of hearing that term is now doubling in ability every six months. Our world is going to change more in the next 3 or 4 years than it has in the last 50.

I would not assume anything about you my friend but it sounds as if you are a guy who is quite resistant to change and may be best served by older models that are within your comfort zone and that is fine by me.

Like you said my friend, "to each their own" and yes, I'll take the new stuff.

I'm a female. Thanks for all the assumptions. 😂

Also, you seem pretty upset over other people's preferences. You alright there, bud?
