If auto, I'd rather get the nub. What is the function of a giant gear lever in 2023 on a automatic car? Just takes up real state and prevents the girlfriend from reaching.

I personally hate the nub.

[J-RO]

I had a loaner with the nub. Was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Doesn't bother me. Less thing to break and never use it.

Agreed

If you are using the back seats in your M2 enough to complain about rear climate you may be in the wrong car. I can get if it is an SUV, which for a while the previous vehicle I bought (Explorer ST) did not have the rear stuff installed. Ford had to retrofit it. That deserved critism this move IMO does not.

Tl;Dr: I've got a MY24 and I do not feel the slightest bit slighted.

I don’t sit in the back seat.

But I agree with you in that it doesn’t matter ultimately. It wouldn’t be a thing if it hadn’t been added and then removed. We wouldn’t talk about it as a negative if it never existed.

My next one won’t have it and I think it’ll be ok lol

I intended my comments toward those with MY24 whom are upset. I don't mind that it is there on the 23s.

Some of the folks here have made it clear they think without it their car is somehow less.

I genuinely believe the removal of the control was a feature, I think some other manufacture charge money for that, something something delete. Weight saving for performance. lol

Oh, how quaint! If I were yearning for an SUV, I'd have joined the soccer mom brigade ages ago. But no, I opted for the M2 – a choice clearly above the mundane SUV trends. Now, imagine my sheer delight when I discovered that the MY2024 didn't bother with trivialities like rear AC controls. Bravo! Because who needs comfort for the family of three when you can have the joy of explaining to them why they're sweating bullets in the backseat of your oh-so-sporty car? Clearly, I'm not driving the wrong car; I'm just participating in an avant-garde experiment in familial discomfort.

The cabin is so small, why would anyone be sweating in the back seat, considering there are still vent back there?

If you are looking for ultimate backseat luxury for the family with ac controls, then yes, you clearly chose the wrong car. I guess I wont bring up that its not very spacious in the back seat. Maybe the M3 would have been a better choice if the backseat cooling is that big of a concern.

As stated, the cabin is small enough that your back seat passengers should be fine (although they may complain about the legroom).

I cant believe there are two pages and going on this subject.

I wasn't that upset about it being removed but now I can really see it matters 0% for me

[dominoM]

As a 23 owner, I’m jealous of the weight savings from removing the rear climate buttons.

Edit: caution this post may contain sarcasm.

[Smilodon]

Well, at least the rear seat passengers would have something to play with to help offset that they have no place to put their legs.
