Can honestly say the combination of BMW I drive with prof nav, and head up display is a long long way better than anything I have experienced from anyone else, including audi and virtual cockpit.
I don't know how many miles my 330d has done because I Never look at the dash any more, the HUD gives you all you need - speed, cruise, phone book, I pod, full colour hi res sat nav directions, it's way safer than anything else, your eyes never leave the road, and combined with prof nav which you can easily navigate without looking down it really is head and shoulders above anything I have experienced before.
This gesture control bollocks is exactly that, a gimmick, filling a totally non existent gap in the market for another gadget that looks great in a showroom but has little practical use. I really need to do a fly swat because it's so much effort to reach down .. Hmm
Wish manufacturers wouldn't meddle with stuff that works fine.. These sweeping indicator are just more of the same.. They looked cool on an R8 and wank on everything else that has them now from a mondeo to an audi q3 , I cringe when I see them.. I can just imagine the marketing meeting when someone said, you know these indicators we have today aren't doing the job anymore, let's make some new ones up.
How about spending the R&D budget on hardware and driving enjoyment not superficial crap.
