BMW has become like Samsung, trying to sell users on absolutely useless gimmicks.
For example, the gesture recognition on the 7 series so pointless. Its not some magical technology, BMW is just using a Leap Motion controller, that costs $27. I have the dev kit at home and played around with it for fun, years ago. Its so useless, its much faster to change the volume using the Button on the steering wheel or the volume knob.

I know many of the people who work at BMW's Advanced Technology Center in Chicago, and they too complain about all the useless technology they are being forced to add.

What is happening to BMW? Please, get back to your core value: "freude am fahren".
