Favorite option you’ll have to have

That's one reason I didn't order a 2023 M240i; BMW moved some physical buttons to the touchscreen- it makes some items more difficult-if not impossible-to safely adjust while driving.

My father just purchased a 2020 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 5.7L a few months ago to replace his 2013 GC 5.7L Trailhawk. One of the big differences is the infotainment on the newer one. It's great that it has carplay, but some of the physical controls (like heated seat and steering wheel) are now within menus in the touchscreen, and you must navigate to that menu each time the vehicle restarts.

I know it is a trend and one completely unnecessary.

The trend (touch screens) is silly. My wife took a slightly used 2022 car that had buttons rather than a soon to come newly designed 2023 with touch screen controls.

A good stereo. Not one that's just all bass like todays kids listen to but, one that has great bass and, excellent highs and midranges as well.
