Sadly it seems like it, although even BMW is guilty of this. In the 8-series (even the $133k M8 coupe), the entire center console tunnel and lower doors are hard touch plastics like a 3-series unless you opt for the extended leather packs. And its also not like this hard touch plastic is very low and away from the driver, its very high up by your knees and was one of the first things I noticed when I first sat in the 8 and thought it was stupid to put hard touch plastic in a vehicle starting at $110k! (This was before the 840 was available)
