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  |
I disagree, the F30 is everything I would want in the E90 sucessor. It looks good both in and out...a little different but i like it. The feel, and fit and finish of the controls easily separate it from the japanese competitors. Not to mention its lighter and more powerful.
