- The silver bits on the dash around the vents appears to be 'galvanised' with a real metal coating as its cold to touch. However, despite this is still looks really really plastic. I'm just glad there isn't much awful piano black.
- there was a rattle around the glove box on very very rough roads. Some jiggling of the latch fixed that.
- hard rubber in the cup holders and console bin and no rubber flooring in the door bins. That's pretty tight of BMW. Much cheaper cars have nice soft rubber.
- when the sunshade retracts the last 10% of the retraction sounds a bit gritty.
- some very slight wrinkling of the leather on the steering wheel, but nothing that bothers me.
- the leather is not very supple. The leather in my old Mazda was softer/more supple.

Hi erawamai
Thanks for the points.
"some very slight wrinkling of the leather on the steering wheel, but nothing that bothers me. "
I noticed this too, mine is the bottom right at the 4 o clock mark
I wonder if we need to apply leather conditioner
Yes the leather is pretty hard but maybe thats good , more hard wearing.
Yup the vents do seem super shiny so they look a bit fake
Have not experienced the other points you mentioned.
