In my opinion, the entire right side of the steering wheel is poorly laid out. I think I'd prefer:
Scroll wheel = volume up/down (click to mute, long press to mimic current behavior where you can change the source using < and >)
-/+ buttons = cycles through HUD displays unless you've pressed the menu/content button, then -/+ does what the scroll wheel currently does
< > buttons = cycles through presets/tracks/etc. (same as now)

I don’t understand why BMW didn’t put their new steering wheel (used in 7 series, new 5 series) in X5 LCI. It is designed for iDrive 8 and has a much better lay out of buttons and wheels. Its a missed opportunity
