BMW Interiors

dreamingat30fps · 05-09-2010, 11:49 AM

Ok so I remember a few posts back people comparing the Audi and BMW interiors and for the most part I agreed that Audi had superior interiors.

I have changed my mind. I went to the BMW dealer next to my house to check out the 335is. While I was there waiting for them to bring one out I sat in the new 5 series hatchback and OMG that was one sexy slick interior! None of that double hump bs just nice clean lines. Also had the Nappa leather which Audi also has and I did not quite like it in the Audi, but I must say it looked and felt amazing in that 5 series.

I hope the new 3 series gets an interior upgrade like the 5 and 7 because I was very impressed.

doesn't the IS have exactly the same interior as the normal 335? It must not have nav if it didn't have the double hump.

EDIT: Oh I get it, you sat in a 5 series GT. Forgive me, I didn't get enough sleep

audis interiors feel cheap and too vw like. i think theyre horrible
i agree with the new 5er. it feels really nice to sit in. so much to look at
granted i am a bmw fanatic but i really do think their interiors are superior to alot of other car companies

When I sat in a 2010 IS the interior was amazing, I thought it was better than the 335 but maybe I'm retarded?

I just did that for myself cause I've never done it before, but pics of both interiors? Or at least the 5 series one.

Khan Shab,

Parna Zaroori hai. He said the interior of the 5gt while he went to check out the 335is.

Yes, i agree. I love the new 5gt interior. So much better than even the 7 series.

dreamingat30fps · 05-09-2010, 09:40 PM

Yeah the 5 not the IS. I'm actually not a fan of the IS trim and gray gauge background honestly. I agree also the 5 interior was even better than the 7 and the seats were incredibly soft and comfortable. I can't wait for the new non hatch 5 to come out. Having never been a huge fan of the 5 (especially the last one) I may actually be considering it as my next vehicle.

You are correct sir, BMW's interiors are superior to most companies out there. People may argue, but they are mad.

3 series interior > C Class interior > A4 interior (glorified VW interiors mainly)

You know what I think the new C class has the worst interior of them all! OMG! That thing was pure cheap plastic everywhere. I though I was getting into a Dodge Magnum. The older C class had a much nicer interior IMO.

no, i hate the new Jag interior, there is like 500 buttons. I would be so lost if i drove that thing...

jaybird124 · 05-09-2010, 10:03 PM

I agree. The new BMW interiors are really on the ball!

Kiemyster · 05-09-2010, 10:03 PM

Yeah the cupholders really are full of fail. But their newer models seem to be promising.

You know what I CANNOT understand? How people think the Cayenne's interior is better than the X5. Where in hell do these people get their taste from? If you ask me that thing makes me want to vomit.

using the E9X as my example, the buttons are all very nice to touch, remain firm and responsive after many miles, the quality of plastics and finish are ideal and resistant to heavy use. The consoles remain sturdy, steering wheel wear is excellent, its all up to par. The only issue is the protective plastics peel on the door panels for the window buttons. but that goes on in every other automakers cars as well. Audi has that problem the worst IMHO.

I know this is biased, but what is so nice about Audi's interior compared to BMW's? Audi has so many buttons everywhere and I don't think the dashboard and steering wheels looks that great.

lux.sh · 05-09-2010, 10:13 PM

Cold interior.

Some people like that grave-yard feel while being in their car.... I dont get it.

Only thing I have heard thats not solid is peeling problems, but that hasn't happened to me yet (knock on wood). One thing I like about BMW is they always stick to the same basic principles on every different model but just make it better

You can still see the burrs on the end from the mold that it came out of.

x10000 My gf was actually looking at some used C and E class and from the previous gen C class to the new one the quality drop is night and day!
