Did Douglas Adams travel in time.... this is scarily accurate!!! My BMW keeps turning off the volume if I wave at anything in the direction of the touchscreen. There is a little infrared camera near the roof that can sense hand-gestures and turn volume up or down ... and lots of other things.

Douglas Adams so spot on I want to cry!

You did buy a car without a dipstick, what do you expect? BMWs are fun to drive and are horrible too maintain. I remember helping someone because the radiator melted a reservoir tank, such a terrible design I never looked at another one!!

They should need forced to make dipsticks but the EU doesn't care when it's a European company. The EU is more anti American companies than actually caring.

Um, hello friend. Turn gesture controls off. It's in the settings.
