execution is more important, mercedes started at "hey lets add one huge screen" and tried to make their system UX fit which did not work particularly well. especially when dropping below the s-class, which had gotten almost a bespoke UI to make the large screen work
BMW will still have 2 separate screens, just larger, slightly curved and connected by a trim piece to make them look seamless. The idrive 7/8 system naturally has the ability to consume more real estate and BMW has already digitized the displays throughout the line. Whether aesthetically it is preferred or not vs the more "cockpit" look there are few options to increase the size of the displays and keep the current UI concepts.
