IDrive wheel is not bad, windows buttons have definitely improved. Turn signal and wiper stalks are much worse, E39 was smoother and higher quality feeling.

I had a loaner F30 for a while, couldn't believe how cheap everything felt. At least the distinction between F10 5-series and F30 3-series is more pronounced now.

But overall, I'd say the haptics are worse now than they were before. Audi's haptics are more "metallic, clicky", and terrible, imho. At least the BMW's maintain a "dampened" feel with all the buttons.

I had a F30 loaner over the weekend, and omg BMW what have you done! The car felt cheap - like they just had to save money. The new Navi screen? Really? A monolith on the dash!

Haptics are better? Heck no!
