The other better point is having your speed at eye height on your windscreen.
Press cruise on, see the symbol on wndscreen as well, all I have ot do is lock in the speed at the wheel.
Nav, it all comes up on the windscreen as well, rippa set up imo.
Wipers, they adjust speed depending how much rain hits the screen.
Everything else is voice activation.
Ditto with our 2016 Bimmer, no touchscreen, but im still getting used to the knob control. cruise control heads up display is awesome though according to the car i follow too closely..

Ill just add when touchscreens came about, I found them good in the 4WD/SUVs I drove.
But when I drove Sedans like Falcons for instance the screen was too far away from my seating position to reach without leaning forward. I don't think id be alone with this.

The BMW seating position is further back too which IMO rules out using a touch screen anyway.
