Despite the E having a huge screen it was non touch and difficult to navigate all the menus. The Merc did have alternative driver displays which did allow different set ups but I find the iDrive displays to be fine - probably because this is my first BMW. I did have a loan 530e with iDrive 6 and the thing I miss in iDrive 7 is a lack of a clock in the drivers display. I know the time is given in digital format but I find I have to really look for it whereas in the iDrive 6 you had analogue clock.
The voice commands are far more reliable in the BMW compared to the Merc but Mercedes Me is a million times better than Connected Drive
