Agree with most comments here. That climate menu is just about the worse UX I've ever seen. Why remove the easy to use one-touch buttons for all of those functions? Why remove the small temperature LCD between the vents in favor of a huge black bar that takes up the entire bottom of a big widescreen? Why is the screen so huge and yet it still doesn't fit all the functions and you have to scroll to see it all? Why are there distracting blue lines in the background? Why should it be necessary for the driver to lose access to the nav map or music just because the passenger wants to turn on seat heat?

And no, voice control is not a solution to any of this. Buttons were and we already had them.

Also agree the screen looks out of place and harsh. The current cockpits with the recessed instrument screen and the center screen that "sprouts" from it looks great and elegant.

It's like BMW totally lost the sensible design and ergonomic leadership that they've had for 30 or 40 years.
