Center console. The drive direction thingy is a bit confusing but ok to use.
The buttons around the iDrive wheel are not ok so I hope they fix it to the 5-series.
For anyone not knowing they look like touch buttons but are push buttons but when pushing, the whole plate holding all buttons is affected.
It works, but very clunky and awful feeling.
Having to go into menus to change climate controls is also worthless. Two, three menus in to turn on or adjust seat heating? No way.

Ohh... Interior is what any owner should care the most about since that's where you are.
Completely agree on all of it, interior is a major loss of premium feeling and harder to use.
