The bottom half looks terrible...or at least terribly cheap - but as Horatiu said, it's more or less a mock-up and not production. That said, I still really enjoy the dash set up of my E46. It's simple, clean and very easy to use compared to my mom's E60 with iDrive. Trying to correct the air level from the vents proved to be a PITA. The upper half of the dash looks OK and fairly good.

I hate Audi interiors. I find them ugly flashy and difficult to use. However, I really like the simplicity of the BMW interiors. @Auday, I am completely opposite with you. I hate Audi interiors.

BMW should fire it's whole design department! it makes me so sad to see this! just compare this to the E31, E38, E39, E46, and even older models, and you will see how BMW is moving away from a personal sentimental sport car to a commercial, lease show off car. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against change and development as long as it keeps the essence and character, just look at Audi's interior, it's new age, elegant, high-tech, yet sporty and makes you feel one with the car. I actually see Audi's interiors as a continuation of BMWs interior design of the good times ( I mean before the meteor fell on earth killing all good BMW species and the awkward deformed E65 was born ). it’s getting worse and worse.

Or perhaps a rejected F01 7-series concept? Definitely a higher-end BMW - check out the dual climate controls and extensive buttons near light swtich (like new 7). Agreed the exposed cupholders are ugly, but then again, the pop-out cupholders of the current 5 are pretty tacky too. Next 5 or PAS? Or perhaps a rejected F01 7-series concept?
