I agree with the full Merino interior for the 3 series bridging the Gap, but according to pictures at the auto shows, the full Merino still doesn't cover the sides of the lower center console by your knee, thigh, and up around the arm rest area which is still hard cheap ass plastic. It's not even squishy soft touch which would have made all the difference. Why wouldnt the full merino cover that while area like the merino does in the 5? I thought "full" merino is suppose to be full. They covered 80% of areas with leather and then stopped, why? Is it so that it doesn't have an opportunity to match the merino coverage of 5 series to purposely be a level below?
