It's no Saab
 The menu system on a BMW dashboard is not intuitive - it’s just a random annoyance that’s the most consistent feature of this vehicle for a driver.  With three clicks, you can turn it off, but it won’t stay off.  Every time you start the vehicle, it will come back to annoy you – first with a legal disclaimer and then an array of meaningless menu choices.  It’s impossible to make the screen display something useful like a digital clock (a Kia will do that, but a BMW won’t).  I’d settle for a BMW logo on the screen, but even that’s not an option.The menu is loaded with choices leading quickly to lots of useless information, but changing the audio source for the stereo is 3-4 clicks and a couple of knob-spins away.  You’ll find the FM/HD radio choice is in a different section of the menu than the CD player and Bluetooth devices.  Perhaps it’s just German humor.Info that’s more easily accessed includes the owner’s manual (should you be reading that on the dashboard while driving?) and contact info for the BMW complaint center (maybe BMW owners use that one a lot?).  You can also schedule a service appointment with a random BMW dealership with just a couple of clicks.  But they can’t fix your menu.Want to “search by picture” and learn more about “screw thread for tow fitting” on this car’s front bumper?  That’s literally choice #3 of 12 on an image of the vehicle, just two clicks and a quarter-spin away.  But once again – is this info you should be using while the vehicle’s moving?  However if you need to call your spouse, plan on pulling over to the side of the road and scrolling through the alphabet, because the “favorites” from your iPhone will not upload to this system and the voice-dial feature is erratic at best.I like a lot of things about my 2017 BMW – great steering and acceleration, quiet and steady ride, nice lines, quality trim everywhere.  But the stupid, amateur-designed, useless menu stuck in the middle of my dashboard is a daily irritation that won’t go away.  Yes, I’m a little obsessive – but how many non-obsessive people buy BMWs?  I owned three Saabs.  This is my first BMW and my last.
