If your BMW is doing the driving for you, is it really the ultimate driving machine?

As stated above. I've been reading the r/BMWX5 sub-Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/BMWX5, and more than one person raves about the how the DAPP option makes the BMW so much better, a Game-changer.

That's ridiculous IMHO. You might as well take off the steering wheel, or recline and sleep in the seat of a self-drive EV (both blasphemy to me, ICE-ICE baby!).

I love the stiff steering on my X5, and if the truck wasn't so heavy, and my arms so old, I might prefer full manual steering , like I had on most of my vehicles for the first 30 years I was driving.

I actually prefer no media playing while driving, and just love the sound of the engine, exhaust, and tire noise, and the feel of the road thru the steering wheel.

Call me old school, which I am, but some new-fangled innovations and luxury accessories would remove my joy behind the wheel.
Prove me wrong.
