I have no problem about the design of the controls, it is the general shape of it that I cannot stand, for some reasons I always thought it looks like the dash of a crappy old van, it is too "symmetrical" too much "floating" between both doors without being firmly connected to the center console (I know you will tell me neither does the 1). It does not give the feeling that the driver is part of the car...
Never liked the dash of the former 7-series, 5-series and the E90, the 1-series (older in Europe than all 3 mentioned) had a dash more in line with former 3 series (flowing nicer around driver) I am happy that the most recent BMW are more in line with what they used to be.
I am still impressed nowadays to look at the interior of old 5 and 7 from the eighties, it aged pretty well...
It is only my opinion, not the truth
