It is not about the build quality, it is about the design quality.

Making the car's interior from several different materials with different thermal expansion coefficients, which should work as a whole under different temperatures, is not an easy task. And this task should be addressed very early, at the design stage. Trying to fix bad design at build stage is a completely hopeless endeavor.

Infiniti is not only better than BMW in that department, it is incomparably better. (Although practice shows that virtually any Japanese brand is better than any German brand when it comes to designing non-rattling interiors.)

And no, materials in BMW are not nicer. They are pretty much the same quality-wise. I don't like some weird color choices Infiniti often makes, but their materials are exceptionally good.
