Are you serious? I just sold my 2016 X6 because idrive was so bad. I prefer carplay many times over. I have been a dedicated bmw owner for 15 years, but lately I’ve been thinking they’re losing their charm.

CarPlay and it’s supported apps will only get better. I can’t see how the auto industry will be able to keep up or even justify the additional expense for their info-tainment systems.

Edit: ok - I didn’t sell it only because of idrive. My driving habits and needs changed. But, it was definitely a factor in not replacing it with another bmw.




I’m completely serious. Touch screens in cars are a joke and a safety hazard. The only people who want them are bad drivers and bad gadget enthusiasts.


I’ve been pretty happy with Audi MMI interface (and has CarPlay sans subscription).


What did you replace the X6 with?
