My E30 had the overhead display just not the computer. The HVAC controls on the E90 (which were similar to the 5 and 7 series of the same era) were fantastic, tactile, and visually assertive.

can't imagine why you'd want touch controls in a car, because that would require looking at what you want to press and taking your eyes off the road. from a driving perspective it makes no sense.

Infotainment systems in the car are a big deal to me, since I have to use it to do pretty much anything related to being comfortable inside the car. It's also important because a poorly designed one (like the original iDrive, large reason why I went with the G35 instead of the E90 years ago) can be dangerous as it can be distracting.
What, you mean condescending like this:
