BMW needs a better computer interface. Like an iPhone... The current computer is poorly designed. When you do a search, it defaults to "25" miles. Who the heck came up with that idea? I could see 5-10 miles but 25 miles? It shows me results in other towns. To correct it, I have to use the dreaded wheel.
And then when you have to make a phone call thru the Telephone menu, if you select a last dialed number, it doesn't just dial it. You have use that stupid wheel again to navigate to the dial button to dial.
And god forbid you are given a number like 1-800-FREE-411 because there are no letters next to the digits so you can't decode the letters.
Give us arrows, give us a numerical keypad, or a touchscreen but please no wheel.
