i don't like the look of the new interiors either. they're too 'complicated' looking....like 10 designers built it....instead of 1 or 2.
I couldn't agree more. Everything about the interior is wrong. Doesn't feel natural or inviting, and most deff not sporty. To me, the steering feels exactly identical as the F30. It's like you can't "feel" the road anymore. There is no feedback through the steering wheel. I refuse to buy another BMW until this whole mess is sorted out (with the one exception of the F10 M5, but thats far out of my price range).

EDIT: It also urks the hell out of me that BMW will happily throw an M on just about anything and call it sporty. They tried it back in the day with the E28 M535i and the M633csi. Both we're cool, but they didn't continue that trend...and for good reasons. It was watering down the "true" M cars.
