Oh god. I got rid of my BMW less than a year after buying it in part because of the horrible "iDrive" central console interface. It was absolutely terrible! Examples: Putting the car into drive would pass by reverse, so the reverse camera would come up, then not go away for 20 seconds or so. Notifications would pop up for gas at 1/8th of a tank with an alert sound like the scene change music to Law & Order. Unkillable notifications for unneeded oil changes. Deep menus for common functionality like sound adjustments. The audio didn't stop when you turned off the car, only when you opened and shut the door (letting everyone in the parking lot hear a snippet of your music first). The nav system took a minute or so to start up, so you can't begin to enter an address until it's ready. Where were the physical play/pause buttons? There are none.

There's a reason why California companies lead the world in UI design: We actually care about the user experience. The hostility of a BMW UX is on a level that I honestly didn't think was possible. It wasn't just moronic, it was straight up belligerent.

Thank goodness the car had a major safety recall and I had an excuse to get rid of it. My first and last BMW ever.
