3) Every car has some minor aspects that feel cheap. That includes the 330i. I don't know what's so special about the interior quality of the 330i. It's okay, but nothing to write home about.

I'm not trying to be a smart-***; I just want to see what the differences really are that set the 330i apart. Maybe I'll even agree with you after seeing a side-by-side comparison.

Asserting these buttons to be "potential flows" or of "sub-par quality" is reaching. Reaching quite far IMO. I've got a good idea. Why don't you turn over the floormats of the g and the 330, and compare the underside stitching. Or how about take out the shifter boot, and see if the inside is nice and leathery too.
Now, if you want to start talking about gauges being hard to read, or seats that don't provide enough support, then I'm game.

The snout of the car looks too long compared to the rear. Maybe it's the angle.
Still don't like the fact that the CD Changer is in the trunk when you get nav. That is so BMW ... and early-90s.

My guess is that in-dash CD changers seem to have more problems than single disc players and dealers complained of having to tear the dash apart when they have to replace a changer. Replacing the changer in the trunk would be an easier and faster job.

I never said I agree w/his findings; on the contrary, I actually agree w/yours.
