Heat button on lower spoke of m wheel is a fail. Looks odd. Why not jut put it on steering column like it used to?

Plus, Mbenz E class is hell of a car too. Can't decide which one to go to...

I agree the interior of the Eclass looks better but I got to see them in person before I make my final judgement

It's an interesting location but far from a fail.

I want to hammer the dash screen like F10.

I think it's a much better place than hidden away behind the steering wheel.

The 530d badge on the rear is a tad too high for my liking

I've sat in both, and the G30 interior is much more driver oriented. The navi screen in the e-class is facing straight back, and is not angled towards the driver like in the G30.

Agreed or put an indicator light on the dash.
I like the interior, nothing new but looks classy. I like the lights in the speaker, good shock factor. And good use of flat/touch plastics to eliminate buttons.

I think both Audi and Mbenz aren't. Only BMW screen is toward driver. But u have virtual cockpit face right toward u, not sure about mbenz though

It just looks strange to my taste

Welcome fake exhaust tips, welcome hideous NFS neons but inside.

Man F10 is miles better, good thing about G30 is lower price of F10

mfstrby · 11-30-2016, 03:03 PM

finally the steering wheel heating button is in a logical place. F10 is already a sweet ride, G30 is def gonna be sweeter

I've driven the new E, and It's very comfortable, but still not as good to drive as the out going F10. Interior is very nice, however I think it isn't as nice as the photos and I was slightly let down. I haven't seen the new G30 in person, so we will have to wait and see. If the G30 interior is as nice as the G11, I think BMW will be able to put up a good fight. (I feel that G11 interior looks and feels way better in person that photos)

Neon lights.....better get my rave sunglasses on.

rjd598 · 11-30-2016, 03:27 PM

this interior is simple perfection imo. can anyone do side by side pics for competitor interiors to compare?

The exhaust tips are not fake.

bcw550ix · 11-30-2016, 03:29 PM

Is it me or does the trunk look even smaller than the F10? I'm guessing there is no spare tire under the floor either.

JustChris · 11-30-2016, 03:32 PM

The new steering wheel heating button...hmm.
