2018 BMW 6-series GT review, road test

The 6GT gets BMW’s latest-gen infotainment system and there are multiple ways to operate its neatly laid-out interface. The traditional iDrive rotary controller works well as ever (and even gets a touchpad to feed in numbers or names of people and places), the touchscreen is slick and even the voice commands work with accuracy for making calls or setting radio frequency. Gesture controls are part of the package too but they operate limited functions and feel a bit gimmicky at this stage of their evolution. Navigation with 3D maps is standard as is wireless Apple CarPlay. Android Auto, however, has been left out. Sound quality is good but not the best for this price.
