How can BMW use such a boring interior on the 3er models?. And why didn´t they change almost anything about it for the M3?. Can´t stand this.

But even with my critics, every comparision i read about M3 vs C63 AMG vs RS4 or vs ISF, M3´s interior is always the best.

It´s a bit confusing.

Some might just like to keep things simple? Why over do it?

Cause when you see C63 AMG interior you say WOW!!.

I dont, sure the interior is nice but it doesnt make me saying WOW!!.
M3 interior may look simple but the layout is clean, ergonomic and with high quality materials. Only complaint I have is that the interior should be driver oriented.

Oh come on, you all should admidt that during last years BMW hasn´t done very well with its interior design.

Really? What is it that's so wrong with BMW interiors?
Only bimmer interiors I dont like is the X3, previous 7-serie and perhaps the Z4. (With that said I dont think they are crap but I dont like the layout.)

Simplicity is relaxing. For me anyhow...

Complete opposite in fact. It's getting better and better, and the new 7er proves that with the best interior yet in a car. Class leading design, ergonomics and quality.

Your opinion is shared with a few others obviously, but there is at least the same amount of people who think other thoughts.

M3 to me is much better looking from the inside than C63 ever will be. I don't like the ugly pop-up screen for example. Makes the whole interior look weird. BMW's screen is much better integrated to me...

I am with you in the part of the new BMW interiors. With X5/X6 and 7er interiors BMW has become class leader in this area.

But 3er and and 5er are very boring to me, even when FL 5er has very improved materials selection. No complains abot 1er and 6er. X3 instead is a monter in every aspect, but you klier will be with me in that won´t you? .

The good part is that the entire Audi line has the very same interior design, wich is starting to be very borign. And mercedes... Pse, have a look to the latest merc interiors, BMW has overpast them completly.
