I'm actually liking the layout, materials, comfort, and ergonomics of my M340i more than the S4 and S5 I owned. To look at they seem nicer, but the G20 gives you a much more cocooned feeling and there are far less pops and cracks when the plastics are expanding and contracting (new vs new). I think BMW is near the top in interior quality now (design is obviously subjective). |
Audi has never excelled at materials in my opinion. They rarely add stitching to door cards like MB and BMW and just put in a flat panel with no details, very bare in its design. On the higher end cars they fix this with suede inserts but they rarely have a leather dash, especially those Q8's that are $80k are all spec'd at dealers with the plastic dash, just feels cheap. Audi fit and finish is pretty good, but I think BMW is top in build quality (although they haven't fixed the rattles), just wish they would stop cheaping out on the plastics, was one of the factors that turned my wife off of the X3, too much hard plastic where the GLC either had soft touch or leather/leatherette with stitching.
