however, IMO the new interior is a HUGE downgrade over the past one

I agree entirely about the interior. It's AWFUL. An Accord is MUCH nicer.

The newer design theme which started with the Z4 and the 7 series is not what I would call beautiful. I've been waiting patiently for the new 7 series to grow on me, but it hasn't happened. And after seeing the new 5 in person, I don't think it will happen with them either. The new E class is heads above the new 5, IMHO.

The only thing I would add to this is that the 8 series was the best looking BMW ever. Otherwise that is exactly the weay I look at the whole BMW / Benz thing also.
