From what I hear, most people don?t use it. There will always be something new around the corner.

Those that favor this theory believe that it's unique in scale and scope to BMW, and that other manufacturers release everything on day 1. Examples include the new M5 which debuts without led tail lights vs new porsche offerings that have all of the options available right away.

2017 got wireless charging 2018 got the LCI updates 2018 post July gets the touch screen in addition to that... I know I won't use it much but it certainly is more convenient to enter text using the virtual keyboard (tried it on my wife's X5 it's nice) 2018 post November gets a steel driveshaft... (that's a downgrade in this case) but my point is, it is much nicer to have a standard.... not incremental updates every month which makes owners who ordered maybe a week earlier feel bad that they don't have all the nice bells and whistles

Is the touchscreen confirmed? July builds should be delivered by now and I haven't heard any rumblings of a touchscreen. I'd have figured someone would've posted by now in pics at least.

Yeah, there is a touchscreen.
I don't plan on using it... at all. I hate fingerprints.

Ah well. I'm bummed about the touchscreen but I got in before the price increase so I'm happy with that trade off. I agree BMW does incremental upgrades way too frequently though and as vain as it is to admit it's annoying paying so much and only having the latest and greatest for a year [i]at best[/]. This M4 was a childhood goal and I'm glad I got it but I would definitely consider a C63S next go-round.

We live in the App Store world now. BMW has adopted this just like Teslas updates. Multiple versions of the same car. Just in time production and keep inventory low so new stuff can replace it. Constant innovation. They're heading electric so they need to start acting this way...

I usually remove all plastics but in the case of her iDrive screen, it isn't too obvious
