It was interesting seeing this car in person at the Kentucky Derby last weekend. My opinions haven't changed. The gold one was more better looking than the black one but this isn't a vehicle that will be in my garage in the future that is for sure.

At the very least these serve a purpose. Would I buy a vehicle with this? Absolutely not. Buttons are much more practical. However, I'm sure you can control certain things like heated/cooled seats, AC, lights, etc.

The touch capacitive controls on the rear door handles a bit small and cramped, but not too bad an idea.
The door mounted screens are there to take place of the usual center armrest screen, because BMW placed a wireless charger there instead. An answer to a question that nobody asked. Then again that's the motto for this entire car.
Compare to the S-Class and A8 center armrest screens:
