Maybe we should wait to give a final verdict until BMW officially releases the LCI. For now, we’re just going off rumors. I also don’t understand how anyone can say the dashboard in the Mercedes is better. After all, there’s a huge central screen here too, plus that awful little screen for the passenger. It looks absolutely terrible. Ultimately, it may turn out that the dashboard in the BMW 7 Series LCI will be just as hopeless as in the Mercedes S-Class LCI

I think the dashboard in the S-Class PreLCI is nicer because it maintains harmony and symmetry. It’s more elegant, whereas here in the LCI they’ve crammed in those awful screens.

I’ll just add that those screens in the Mercedes will look outdated very quickly because they have such thick bezels. It doesn’t look like a car from 2020 or later—to me, they look like tablets from 2010.
Well, out of respect for OP since this is his thread, I’ll refrain from expressing everything I think about the new dashboard. However, I must say that the all-glass dashboard is a big no-go for me or not something I can get behind. On the other hand, I must commend the OP for spec’ing an incredible car. I believe that with the specifications he chose, one can even set up much worse dash than that and still be satisfied with the value for money with such specs he bui;t. I saw his specifications on the Mbenz forum, and it’s clear to me that he made a great decision by investing all of his hard-earned money into building an exceptional car. Fully loaded.. just like I think these cars should be built. Mbenz has a ton of high-end materials and cabins that am sure has the big potential to even address any left-over creaks and rattles from the prev generation. It’s an S63 afterall.. this car is a true monster.

I agree that the GLS new dash and tech is the way to go. Was super confused when Mbenz didn’t add the latest and greatest to the S. Again, for a true AMG S63, who cares anyway lol about the cabin or tech lol.
