I have a 2013 BMW M3. It has their I-Drive system, so a screen. Generally, they’re not a point of pain maintenance wise and you can get replacements with upgrades with CarPlay and Android Auto.

I don’t believe they’re going anywhere, they’re too flexible, being able to handle new functions as they come along.

That said, there are exceptions - like a volume knob. The industry has tried to get rid of them, only to hear screams from customers and revert back to them.

My 330ix 2025 still has a volume knob. LOL...
