I doubt touch screen BMW provide can be called modern :) Feels like the brand stuck in time. Especially knob to control a touch screen... All they did for the last 30-40 years was selling extra horse power. Luckily right now EV dramatically changed the price you can get a far better performance for far better price. That will finally force them to change.

This was not my impression at all while cross-shopping the S-class, A8 and 7er. They’re all on fairly equal footing, I went with the 7 because it was put together significantly better than the Audi and had better tech than the S-class.

Now the brand new S-class might have shifted that balance a bit by adding rear wheel steering, but I’m not too sure about the touch screen monstrosity.
