I am going to go with a JB4 soon after the 1st of the year. I want to get about another 1K miles on it. It is damn fast as is and that is all the reason for more.
Did you install the JB4? If so, what is your experience using it? Drivability?

it's hilarious to me how many negative comments there were at the beginning of this thread about how ugly, expensive, and not as user-friendly this MY24 was, and now everyone loves it. lol

Not everyone. I hate that there is no instrument cluster for the driver. This is one step closer to fully self-driving cars with an info screen across the dash. Next step, remove the steering wheel. UGH. Hate what BMW has done with this and the rest of the lineup as well with these single screens! Not a driver's car anymore, now it's more of a passenger's car with controls.

I meant like a pod. A hood over the cluster creating a pod, like every car has had for decades. It's just feels more like a driver's car. This widescreen thing makes it feel like a space age passenger transporter.

After test driving for a bit, it really doesn’t feel like a single one screen, it feels like a clear independent instrument cluster and a seperate infotainment system…just with more options for the cluster and more technology for infotainment. I do not love the lack of buttons for AC and some other things, but I felt like the cluster was all I needed to be a “drivers car”

Most drivers love a bigger infotainment screen.

Perhaps. Just to me, it looks like a passenger transporter and less like a driver's vehicle. Sort of like in Arnold's Total Recall movie with the Johnny Cars. That's where BMW is headed.
