I went to an Auto install place today. Two blokes basically said, no options, I showed them this and MMI and they just said, "dont bother, they're balls, get out".
My misses would love this screen. I am not sure she cares if it doesn't pop up, and wants android auto, google maps, spotify and her podcasts.
I am in Australia, just got a 2009 Z4 35i. It has iDrive. Really what I want to keep is the iDrive functions, use the remote to control it as well, as it is in a great position and using this as a touch screen isn't ideal to me because of how far forward it is. The exception would be typing things in, which I would assume it quicker on the screen than using the wheel!
It seems that the main advantages of the MMI are use get to keep the original screen - with the fancy pop up and the Android versions you lose that, but get a higher resolution unit with touchscreen.
What are the other pros and cons?
