The iDrive controller isn't going away. Touch will be an additional way to interact with ConnectedDrive, along with the gestures.
There are a couple use cases in my daily driving where I'd appreciate a touchscreen, for instance dialing a phone number. For everything else the controller is just fine.
All touch, like I had in my Tesla, was not the greatest user experience. Some of the targets were too small. I can't remember how many times I accidentally hung up on someone or selected the wrong track.
This will be the best of both worlds.
