The tablet thing has actually grown on me. I'm coming from an E60 and E91, and I really like the swoopy nature of the idrive housings in both. When I first sat in some of the newer designs in a 3, 6, etc., I didnt like the screens. But then I got a loaner 3 while some work was being done on the 5, and now I like the tablet - it almost feels like they opened up some of the space around the screen that normally would be taken up by the bulky housing around the screen, and effectively lowering the dash (adding more visibility) while keeping the screen in the perfect place. Then, I sat in an F10 and the dash looked old to me, and too clunky around the screen area.

The F01 still feels great, but that's more because it's such an open and luxurious cockpit anyway. But I think that the "tablet" screen will make it feel even more airy once we all start driving around with them.
