I guess I should lookd for an un-modified E30 M3 or a Grinnall Scorpion 111 to play with and buy something else for the daily driver next time around.

I agree with 3aficionado. If you dont like the gadgets, thats fine, dont use them. If the gadgets make you not like the car more than your love of its performance, then buy something else. Technology is progressing and so is its influence on cars.

Whether you like it or not, its going to happen. My dad hated all of nav system for the longest times, but it was mostly because he was confused by them. The he saw how easy it was to use mine and currenly has one in his Touareg, aftermarket.
