I prefer my digital dash in my G30 much better. |
I prefer to get a manual in G20 too but that is not happening either. |
What does that have to do with anything?? |
The point is that some people(like you) like conservative design and me want a manual. But BMW is moving to new design and automatic. Why? Because we are small percentage. They are in business to make money. So they have to satisfy the majority. But no latest design and tech in a premium model but debut in cheaper model, is not a good business decision. Most people who pay premium want the latest tech. When they pay more but get old tech while the cheaper model has it. They won't be happy. BMW is used to have new tech in 7 then 5 then 3, for example new parking camera, new driver assistance, etc. But this time is odd |
A draw for new customers maybe? Suck them in with flashy tech...
