I don't see an ugly kickstand there.

Not loving either look more than ID7, but to be fair isn't ID8 technically still 2 screens - just installed in 1 large housing to mimic the look of 1 large monitor?

It's two screens basically wrapped into one. To me that looks better than the Merc. Though the integration isn't the best, the screen itself is quite gorgeous.

Unless in you're in the passenger seat, you won't see it in the 2 series either.

Porsche is really the only ones doing screens correctly. Lost count with how many screens are in the Taycan, but at least they are all built in. 992 screens are very well integrated in the dash. Even GM is doing better with their wrap around oled screens, like in the new Escalade.

cant deal w the screens...so keeping my lci 2018. Not worth a car note for that. It would just drive me crazy. Now if they enable digital round dials with a future version of the s58 m2, Ill reconsider

How did you get a 2018 without screens?

No, I mean the infotainment screen to the right. You got that specced out somehow? Since you hate screens?
