Ahh, Kinja. It’s a gem, isn’t it? I suppose there are it’s good points - like giving someone a star and watching the reported star count GO DOWN. Hilarious.

that was a good line.

I hated this little hipster until I saw that she was sponsored by foursigmatic. That shit is the shit. Tim Ferriss put me on to it. Now I’m all like, “you do you, girl.”#foursigmatic #peacelove #putthatbraintouse #chaga #lionsmane #shroomboom.

I could actually get behind this.

I hear you, and I’m sure the screen is much better quality (and larger) than the shrouded one in the previous gen. Haven’t driven the Mercedes, but my fiance had a ‘12 335i with the ‘half’ tablet, and I got used to it, but still didn’t like its looks. Her current X3 screen (please let’s not dwell on the fact that she…

Functionality? Sure. (If you can get it to be the right brightness without having to adjust it at night separately from the gauges - haven’t driven one).  

Fine, whatever. We’re arguing about the wrong thing here. It looks unintegrated. Fucking tacked on. It’s lazy, cheap, and ugly. I don’t know which scenario is the worse crime - that they either conducted some ill-fated market study that allowed the LCD to determine the design, or they followed Audi and BMW down…

That makes it even more stupid.

I think they’d be better served declaring the time of the floating touchscreen over.

This! It was such a great feature. Can’t remember why they got rid of it, but man, it broke my heart.

Yes. It’s surprisingly annoying. One of the worst Kinjannovations in a long time.

wut?

Remember, it doesn’t matter how you feel, it’s how you look.

This made me laugh. It’s also the crux of the issue, well observed. If an understeering car understeers consistently, you can work around it and still be on pace. But it is no fun to live constantly wondering if something will step out on you. The car I referenced was truly spooky. Not well served by the automatic…

My friends E90 335i supports this statement.

“Note: I am not a rational human being.”

Hands down one of the best things that’s happened to mankind - this century at least.

Grew up in Westchester. Turkeys would come out of the woods behind the house and hang out around our driveway. As a kid - in the car? Not scary. Out of the car? SCARY.

I live a couple blocks off Abbot Kinney (rent because holy crap) and saw that BMW 6er on my morning attempt at jogging. The cars you see around here are insane. And to some, I may be a part of it - at least for the time being:

Thank you for your strong exercise in solipsistic argumentation. In case you’re wondering, that’s why you’ve aggravated people.
