E66 on left, F02 on right.Can't see the F02's HUD, the camera doesn't like trying to focus on it, even in manual focus mode haha. The navigation details show up there, along with speed and cruise control and check messages. Very useful. F02 sports steering is very very comfortable to use.E66, on the other hand, as a fairly dated cockpit, the dual-binnacle setup contributes to the clutter. The stalk gearshift does allow more space in the centre, and the middle compartment is far, far larger than the new car's, and can actually swallow the owner's manual with tons of space to spare. That does not save the stalk gearshift, though, it's still a pretty crap idea. What's worse is that I'm so used to it that when driving the F02, I keep on turning on the windscreen wash jets when changing from R to D... The E66 has individual knobs for both passenger and driver for both temp and fan speed. F02's knobs are only for temp, so fan speed is controlled by a pair of buttons, which is far less intuitive for us. I tend to leave the temperature settings at the lowest possible, and depend on fan speed for variation.Needless to say, the new iDrive is far, far, far better... and I forgot to put the E66 key in, so the dash systems aren't on and the terribly thin steering wheel is raised.</blockquote>
