Saw that a couple of days ago. Shame really as the opinions are very basic. If they had people from this forum I imagine the opinions would have been a lot more helpful. I can imagine it now, 'this new car is basically perfect... just needs some ACS springs, a remap, PSS non run flats and whichever factory options weren't specified

The guy talking about Idrive at 3:15, "it's a shame they haven't gone for the in-dash system that some manufacturers are moving towards", obviously didn't notice BMW already did that in the E9x series then!

I'm amazed that the interior got such positive reviews. IMHO, the F30 interior is not anywhere near as good as it needs to be (and has been on previous gen 3s). It lacks premium feel and there are some pretty clunky design elements to it too; such as the old-fashioned main instrument cluster which is seriously lagging the competition - it needs to be something closer to what the 5-series now has, or the M4 (i.e. properly full-black with digital display for everything except the main rev counter and speedo).
