Take a look how dirty touch screens get after a short time of use (finger prints and all the dirt collecting that comes with them).

I know BMW got a lot of flack from a LOT of people and magazines over the years for their iDrive controller. Interesting to note though is that if you look at most new cars that have an integrated navigation system and do not use a touch screen, migrated to an iDrive type of controller... I wonder why

BMW has been a pioneer in this regard and the new iDrive interface (controller and GUI) is by far the vest yet!
