Like everything, the more you use it the easier it becomes.
No problems at all, but this is the 3rd car I've had with it so I'm used to it.

This one is slightly different as it's interactive - you can write a letter on the top of it with your finger and it'll find contacts starting with that letter, and also when setting volume levels and light brightness - you just move your finger across it.

Bit of a gimmick but it actually works.

Not sure about it yet, tbh.

It's great in 'normal' mode as it shows the nav, entertainment info and speedo.
However, when I have the car in sports mode (which is all the time!) it only shows the M rev counter and speed.

Can't have anything else when it's in M.
It doesn't distract me though, and it's nice to be looking at the speed all the time.

I've also found the sports display on the nav screen.
Two digital dials (like a rev counter) that show the power and torque output.
Similar to the Nissan GTR one.

I agree 100%, I too went for the e46 m3 also smg, loved it for the first 2hours lol then hated it and couldn't wait to sell it, owned it for around 8 weeks.....never again.
Saying that, your m3 is a completely different beast and looks the nuts.
