...BMW’s Stefan Frick explained to Auto Express that the part’s inclusion will be model specific; it’s all down to the driver’s proximity to the screen. “You have to think about the architecture of the car and the ergonomics. If the screen is not close enough it makes no sense [to remove the rotary controller], he said, adding, “In the 2 Series [Active Tourer] it’s a different architecture, and the screen is pretty close - it’s quite convenient to control with touch.”

They better not get rid of the controller. Touch screens suck for driving, gesture control is a PITA and goes off when you don't want it too.
Cadillac for years went down that route and it was a gong show.
The intuitive way that rotary controller works is great plus you can use it with gloves on in the winter without any issue.
BMW engineering needs to give their collective heads a shake.
