Yes angry because as a bmw fan, I now do not have an aspirational model in mind for myself for the future.
Style is subjective which can see in these forums but what annoys me is the ever increasing from over function that we see in products today

Non round steering wheel, this is utter bollocks and makes no sense. This is the one item you are in constant contact with the whole time, needs to be round to feed smoothly through your hands as you steer. Making it any other shape is just Maronite. The basic wheel is even worse .
Touchscreen control, this makes no sense whilst on the move . Stationary, ok I can accept but on the move? Just plain daft.

Aaarrggh BMW , just what are they up to these days

Ok rant over I’m fed up now with this car now, time to go and do something more constructive or fun
The designs would be nuts regardless. That’s their stated design goal. Attention. They don’t care if it’s negative.
