The functions most important for motoring and safety on the road have been moved to the direct vicinity of the driver.
All primary driving functions are in the area around the steering wheel, offering the driver more immediate access to key controls.
Second level functions are controlled by conventional switches on the instrument panel, like the lights switch or the air conditioning temperature setting.
Many controls are operated with a single large, multifunction knob located in the console between the front seats. The control consists of a combination rotary and push button for selecting functions. Confirmation of the selected mode is displayed on a dash mounted screen.

It is the driver interface for most of the secondary controls of the vehicle, such as, climate, stereo, car data, navigation, communication control, etc. It frees up the dash of all of those annoying buttons all over the place like a mercedes. A wonderful system which gets a lot of bad press because some people are stupid.

It's some kind of complex menu system on late model BMWs. Its operated by a knob and it controls allot of the car's electronic features. Ive heard that it can be a hassle.

After you get use to it you will find it very handy. Everybody hates it, but did you try it?

It is BMW's idea of hell on a joystick.
