Autospies thinks that is what interior design is all about. Any of you buy into this?

I currently own a 2008 335i coupe/sports/ssk6mt. Sports option is the only way to get the great seats and handling.
This new 3 (bigger/88 lbs lighter, more luxury etc) does not appeal to me.
I will be switching to a 2014 BMW M2 Coupe, Redesigned Cayman/Boxster, or C7.
BMW is turning in Lexus.

Full disclosure - I own a 5 Series so I'm a bit biased toward BMW.

I don't like the chunky look of the center stack. And the upholstery on that seat is hideous.

Another 335i BMW owner, and find the BMW interior far superior to any GM product out their including the Caddy. I have driven over 120K miles with little to no seat wear. My 2002 Vert has only 29K miles and already wear on the side of the drivers seat, I have replaced some of the Plastic pieces because they broke, and fear on day the stupid glove box will break because its so difficult to open.
GM must build better interiors to compete on the world market. The 2005 MINI COOPER that I use to own had a better designed and durable interior then my 2002 Corvette.
If its the same crap from GM on the C7, I am going to buy a new BMW or other car that I feel I will not waste my money on.

I am glad you are not experiencing this.... Another perspective is a good friend of mine is a BMW master tech, been so for 10 years. He claims the most recent BMW's have parts of the interior that are biodegradable & they get cars that have interior parts literally falling apart that are 4 years old & they try to glue it back together but it will not work because both pieces are literally falling apart. As you can imagine, folks that pay top dollar for a car are not happy being told their car is in the process of biodegrading while they are still making payments on it.

Not a fan. The screen looks like an after thought and those air vents look like they're straight out of an 80's Honda. Honestly, most of that interior center stack looks unorganized and a total after thought.
I'm not exactly sure the Germans will ever be able to design an interior I like.
