-interior: I think the seats are great, a little wider than the e90 and 1 series but otherwise with good support. I really must respectfully disagree with the critique of the overall quality of the interior-it is a step up from the e90 and certainly even more so from the 1 series

-steering: I have not yet made up my mind yet. The standard setting is definitely looser than any previous BMW. But the car has a sport setting that I have not yet tried and its supposed to tighten things up. We'll see once I try it.

Overall I love this car as much as the my first Bimmer and that's saying a lot since I had fun with the 135 vert

The N55 is a much smoother engine than the N54 and I like that.
I would like you to come have a sit...seat...whatever in my R and get your opinion then (although I'd like to see your seats, too - I wonder whether the 335 sport seats are radically different from the 328 ones).

The rest of the interior seems fine (except the rear seat child latches... that's completely unforgivable).

I want to see what happens with the new M3/4 as M-red and J-gal said. I think I may have gotten BMW disappointment at the moment
I think the sport seats are the same (not sure though).

So you don't like that the latches are now well disguised by the back seat. Funny I think it's better now since in my old car the black plastic caps stuck out against the Coral Red seats like a sore thumb.
