A ride in the new X5 where the technology just didn't want to cooperate. Funny...sort of...well, not really.

I love the gesture controls and use them all the time. Small controlled gestures is all it takes. My only issue is I use it so much that when I am in my new M2 Competition, I use gestures only to remember it doesn't have that feature. A common theme with video reviewers that pick on the latest generation gesture controls is they go out of their way to make large gestures to look like a idiot and the gesture controls dont work. Its BMW's way of weeding out those that are too stupid to understand the correct motions and then reduce hp by 40% so they dont hurt them self.

Mine work 100% of the time and the volume control is smooth and controllable.
