I do agree with you on the trim though.

Anyway, to each their own. Both are clearly great cars and very nice inside.
We are on the same page with just slightly different preferences. I think the Alcantara and contrast stitching in my 1M skews my view as well (although the 1M door cards leave a lot to be desired!). Ironically, my wife was the one who came out and said she didn't like the new M3 interior is much as the old one. Also, I don't typically like perforated leather - it doesn't seem to hold up as well over time (Acura TL and S2000 in my experience).
