I don't really like 2020 and onward BMW. Except for the previous gen M2. The only car they gotten right.

I'm going to have to take a minute and try to figure out how we got to the point where I can't differentiate between BMW, Mercedes and Hyundai interiors. Like, look up the interior of a 2024 Hyundai Sante Fe and then that new 5 series. It's the same fricken thing.
My G80 has a digital dash cluster. It's really nice and it has a 3D thing and I love how when I turn my signal light on either the left or right gauge becomes a screen of the blind spot camera's view...it's a great safety feature. BUT there is something really hollow and cheap about everything being a screen in some ways. Think of, like, those videos of a bomb shelter or something they try to make look liveable by having a fake picture of the outside. Like a screen that makes it look like you're looking through a window at a nice vista. Nice try, but not authentic/real. These screens are like that.
I was driving my wife's '22 Telluride the other day and I was really appreciating the analogue gauges and the finishing on them. There's still a centre screen between the dials for the blind spot camera views, but I think we're totally losing something now that all these cars are starting to look identical inside. Especially when we know it's just cost savings BS.
Did you see Doug Demuro's video on the new E-class today? Screens from left to right across the entire dash. Door to door. Passenger had their own screen. It's terrible.
