Am I the only one?

2019 2dr, 6 speed manual
So I've had my Mini for about three weeks. Have put about 700 miles on it.
I have spent at least an hour each day: Reading the manual, looking on-line, and trying different buttons.
This car is way to complicated.
Setting all the pre-sets, just turning on the lights (headlights vs sidelights vs fog lamps).
Navigating through my MP3 player
Getting the display I want (I really like the digital speedo showing)
Checking the oil (huh)
Checking tire pressure. Have 17" wheels. Previous owner took off the runflats so I wasn't sure if pressure was the same.
Seat adjustment....

the list seems to go on and on............but wow is it fun to drive.

I would agree that the user interfaces aren't intuitive and its a bit over-engineered.
But I do think I would like if you could customize it more (you have driving modes but I'd prefer picking each component).
