I think the whole thing about the multi function steering wheel, goes back to that classic BMW philosophy of "you cant have it unless you pay through the nose for it!"
This is where the major concern lies. If you look at the 545, and 645, you can see that some effort has been put into them to make them look a bit special. But on the lower spec cars such as the 630 and 520, that don't come with the option of larger alloys and sport packs, then they start to look a little half-baked.
Now you’ve got to admit it, the 3 series has always been the worst for that. Plastic wheel trims and black bumper inserts should be a no go on an exec car like this.
