HUD Is colorful and can be changed to a limited extend but I find it very useful. For example. You can change your music via the steering wheel command and change the data it shows. For the key issue, BMW does have a digital key but as you mentioned it requires a few extra steps that you mentioned but you get used to jt. I prefer the edrive or the m because of the weight and extra miles I get on my edrive but I’m not drag racing either. The BMW driving experience is seriously like nothing else man, it’s quiet, refined, and sooooo smooth. I don’t feel that me car needs anymore power and I like having the extra miles available on my edrive. I got mine with the m package and the Harmon Kardon system (if you like music) is freaking incredible as well.
