I'm quite particular, but if there was no M sport trim I wouldn't have purchased an F30 at all.

I'm coming from a GTI so the M sport is more in that kind of style.
i gotta agree. in 2009 i was in the market for a new car and test drove the then more or less new W204 C class. the cheap leather or plastic on the F30 sport steering wheel felt a lot like that wheel. I did not buy the C class because of that wheel (that and the knobs were really cheap plastic too) and ended up with an audi instead (turned out pretty badly actually, the C class probably was a better idea in retrospect). but yeah cheap leather , reminds you its cheap and you are holding it all the time.
