All of that and one or two sentences on the handling..... what happened to that being the headline for a BMW review?

Look at the present 1- (not in the US?) and 3-series, both have this dark grey msport detail and now it has been smacked on to the 5-series. I also dislike it but it was inevitable. Deciding between mediterranean and bluestone for the G31 order and the darker the car the less this area is noticeable. Waiting for "real life" pictures of mediterranean that I can understand and rate the colour from.

Not tracking how climate dial negatively impacts IQS?

BMW isn't ditching the feature, they just made it even more complex and 3 steps away burying it in iDrive. I guess thats progress.

Most probably manufacturing constraints. Same reason many parts or engines often arnt available at launch. Same with Individual not being available at launch

There have been negative reviews for years about it as people initially dont understand how to use it. So IQS scores drop
Same with the indicator controls. The now old way is superior, but people dont initially understand it and give the car bad scores Seems most people want mindless technology

Burying the face level air flow control in iDrive, is a backwards step in my view. As for the auto wiper control... the single wipe while on auto is a useful function. If we have to go through two positions, rather than a spring return wipe function, how is that progress? Both the above take away from simplicity of function. |

I for one use it a lot as I get warm very easily and like cool air on my face. I guess we have to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

At present we can keep auto wipe running and add a single 'flick' wipe. I find that feature very useful. |
