So why all the new buttons?

Good observation re: 7-series.
A back-button will be nice, and perhaps the ability to save things like trip computer to shortcut button will be helpful (not sure if that's one of the improvements), otherwise iDrive is hands down the best UI of any manufacturer-integrated navi system.
I have no need for any of those extra buttons, the only thing i'm hoping for is an ability to upgrade to the new navi software.
