Nowhere near that old @mitch
The superb 2021 BMW X1 that we handed back in August had BMWs class leading iDrive rotary controller, which meant that you never needed to touch the screen. Ten times safer than a touchscreen as it’s far easier to use on the move. Lane Assist wasn’t fitted as standard. There wasn’t a single bing or bong and there was nothing that needed to be switched off every time that you drove the car (unlike the four bong speed warning that drives me insane in our latest car and I have to switch off every time).
I have some sympathy with you. Whilst I applaud all the latest safety aids and gadgets, they do take the fun out of driving and it’s more like piloting a computer!
