In my opinion ONLY the audio system should be on a screen. Everything else should be physical controls.

Cant believe they actually left the middle console the exact same and just put the steering wheel and pedals to the right side😂

I really don’t think you wet using the B mode correctly: on my i4 in B mode you modulate the amount of regen using the pedal: so instead of just stepping off it you can gently cruise to a half by just taking SOME of the pressure off it. In this way B mode is actually way more predictable than D. The benefit of D mode is when in cruise it delivers much softer transitions and if you speed up beyond selected speed by manually pressing the pedal, it will coast back to the designated speed, where as B mode will just apply max regen to get the speed back.

I like BMW’s new exterior designs, I currently own a Benz took a 2023 3 series for a test drive and was disappointed by the low quality of the reverse camera. I don’t depend on cameras as I drive trucks for a living but for $75k I would hope the camera is better than ones found in Hyundai Elantras Had the camera improved with this X2?
