I think it is ergonomically well thought, although I will question some of the implementation style.
I would love see the Nav screen hump better integrated like the X5.
I would love to see the driver door controls a bit closer.
The cup holders seem to an after-thought, perhaps adopt the X5 position.
I would not mind having the gear lever and IDrive controller moved forward by 6 inches to make using the controller more natural.
Even with these little complains, I still love the simplified layout.
I think the interior is a classic example of "less is more".
