Sedan_clan, I do haha and she's picky almost like me but only in bags and shoes and you know, the usual girl stuff hahaha.

Check my post again, I added another one! Hahaha. I swear I can write an article about my findings. It's ridiculous. I mean if you paid attention to other threads, another member discovered that the cloth M seats have different patterns between the left bolster area and the right bolster area, and it is extremely noticeable just above the M emblem. Welcome to BMW!

Damn you! You're going to make my flawless car flawed.

Hahaha sorry brother!

Sedan_clan, do you have an F80 or F82?

I apologize for going slightly off-topic but I'm sure we can just label this as the OCD-Discovery thread soon.

Back on topic! According to F30post, if you use your nails to poke at the buttons, you will wear them very soon and lights will leak through as you have scratched the paint, as shown on the picture on page 1! I highly doubt they have solved that for the new M3/M4's.

Noticed the buttons misalignment too. I've been saying this over and over: F8x interior quality is shit. Hyundai can do better for half the price. Deal with it and stop defending. And I'm not some troll from a Ferrari forum, I've just spent real $80K on my M4. The M5 and M6 is entirely different world... but it's a whale.

I have an F30 currently......F82 currently in production. I wear ///M driving gloves to keep my greasy lil finger oils from ruining interior components. I caught on fast back in the E46 era. My OCD is dialed in!

So why did you buy an F82 again?

It drives amazingly well, such a great balance of fun, comfort, practicality, sport, emotion, character. This BMW can still do the best

At least your priorities were right despite you not being happy with the interior. Well done Sir!

Thank you! Perfect statement. It questions me every time when so many people love to defend for a company who is clearly doing a disservice to consumers by cutting cost everywhere. Unless you have shares from BMW, then I can understand.

To support that, my friend's base model Hyundai Sonata's or my parent's 2014 Mazda 3 power window buttons do not creak. Try lifting the switches (close windows) on your F30/32/80/82 on a sunny day and I guarantee you can make a creaking symphony out of it. You may need to try it out after 10k miles so a PDI definitely cannot pick that up.

Beware however, as you may pull off the entire power window switch unit out like I did because the clip came loose for some reason.

This forum is going to make me hate my car before I even get it... My OCD will be out of control, and my head will implode when I do the PDI.

Yep, that's pretty much the only reason that BMW can get away with cutting cost. Hardly any companies can match the driving dynamics of a BMW and that is something far greater than all of the crap I've said so far haha. That's the #firstworldproblem sacrifice we have to accept.

You can do the BMW Zoloft mod. You won't care about the buttons and you will probably get less tickets and wash your car less often.

Ultimately we're buying fun and experience in life. If you want value, you buy different stuff. Does the M3, M4, M5, M6 give you the "holy fucking shit" feeling on every full throttle corner exit as you upshift? It does for me. I've driven faster and more expensive cars that did not give me that feeling or experience.

That's an article I'd read! Do it, do it!

Hahaha that'd be a pretty boring article!

I'll give you another one. Tap the button that turns on the interior driver-side dome light. Now tap the passenger and you will most probably notice that it feels quite different. One might be a bit stiffer than the other for example. This also applies to the misaligned radio buttons, and the dual zone climate dials.

Now you might ask, well all buttons are going to feel different, right? Wrong. Try touching the iDrive set of buttons and they are pretty much perfect in haptic & feel.

Oh my! I know some have been disappointed to learn their cars are not as perfect as they thought but on the bright side I have learned that I am not OCD after all... I will show this thread to my wife cause otherwise she is still going to want a second opinion when I tell her I'm very picky about cars and not cetifiably OCD

[Reedomn]

weird...mine goes to 11 ??

DANG IT. Reading this thread made me go look and sure enough, '8' is cockeyed. OCD KICKING IN HAAARD.
