I drove the new 3 for an hour and had no problem with the screen being there. I spend a lot of time in a Lexus and they do the same thing. The Lexus IS has the screen set lower, which atually tekks your eyes off the road longer, but the screen is worked into the center stack as opposed to sticking out on its own.

I drove a 2012 c350 for an hour or so and they have also changed the nav screen so it's no longer retractable. One magazine review I read even said they preferred that Merc has gone to a non-retractable screen.

Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am indifferent about the BMW screen. As part of the overall interior, I think the new 3 is an improvement over the outgoing vehicle.
