I feel with the F30 that BMW has lost the understated elegance they have always been know for.
I like the exterior okay...but the interior is busy and I really think it looks like something from a Japanese manufactuer.
To make an analogy, I feel like they went from a understated Apple laptop design (simple, streamlined) to a Dell laptop type of design (plasticky, colored trim/lids). Everything just looks sort of overdone.....especially the air vents, dashboard lines, trim, and Nav screen. The worst is the M-Sport steering wheel. I realize this is a throwback but it just looks sort of goofy.
I really think the E90/92 has aged amazingly well....I dont think in 7-10 years we will look back on this model and say the same thing.
Keep in my I will probably end up with an F32 anyway, but just wanted to express my opinion
