My feelings exactly!!! Can someone please help me to understand why they did this? What is the advantage, if any? My lease is up in 9 months, at which time I must decide whether to finance my current F10, pick-up a G30, or something else altogether. I was hoping the G30 would blow my socks off and make me buy it, but the '3-series looking' nav screen and rear-end are keeping my socks in place. If I had to decide right today, I'd be hanging onto the F10...at least long enough to see the LCI G30. |
They do it because it's cheaper to stick it on top than to design a dash around it. Also, it does allow for larger screens which the market is demanding and it is easier to see I suppose. But it's like I said in the past, I'd rather have a less functional screen that looks elegant than an iPad that gives me 2-3 more inches of display. That may sound ridiculous but it's a car, it's meant to be driven not used for messaging and iPhone apps. Although that's just the old timer in me speaking!
