Touchscreens are being removed from several models to maintain production levels.
BMW is reportedly planning to remove touchscreens from several models of its vehicles in an attempt to mitigate the global semiconductor shortage’s impact on its production levels. Autoblog reports that BMW is planning to ship 3 Series; 4 Series Coupe, Convertible, and Gran Coupe; and X5, X6, X7, and Z4 models without touchscreens. The company is also said to be planning to remove the Backup Assistant feature from the vehicles’ Parking Assistant Package.
