Yeah, it looks different than the Nav in the E9x but get over it, it is what it is. And I ask again, if you're in the market for a car next year are you going to buy an Audi or a M-B just because you think the Nav screen in the F30 is "butt ugly"? If you buy one, a month later you won't even care. Much ado about nothing.
I'm not seeing any condemnation, just people stating their opinions on an Internet board. Of course one can change his/her minds after seeing this protrusion in real life or over time, but this is what we see now.

And it's not much ado about nothing. While a butt ugly design in and of itself won't deter a purchase decision, it is a negative point and if there are enough of them, then it could tip the scale towards Audi, MB or Lexus. I know many who turned to Audi or MB after seeing the Bangle designs when they first came out.
