even compared to a lambo, the vents are ludicrously high lol
plus I think the fact they do not align with the passenger side vents accentuates their unusually high position further ....
Go and sit behind the wheel like l did mate and to be honest l did not have any issues with dash layout ok the 10-5" A1 VC in the dash looks lost as well as the graphics are reduced in size etc etc....My negatives on the interior are the style of stitching used on the dash/door armrests they look cheap and stuck on, high gloss black plastic in the gear lever area....dust/scratch magnet the terrible scratchy/hollow plastic rear door cards are unbelievably bad....in the 8v the difference in quality between the front and rear door cards are different but it is nominal in material quality used....My point is you can get use to a design and begin to like it .......but you'll never succumb to cheap materials.....no matter how well they put them together especially at this price point.....and the cheapness is here to stay for the 8y's lifespan,the BMW 1 series interior plastics are of 8v quality but the interior overall is just a bit understated....Your car no doubt is just as good but is a bit overstated in it's design.....l think the Germans are all in Cahoots with each other......in which direction each should take ....lol A closed shop as to speak.....
