Never thought BMW interiors were ever much good, but MB interiors are pretty nice, the leather accents and wood bits make it quite pleasant. Same with Lexus, they don't have many gadgets but the nicely textured plastic panels, metal trim bits and leather seats do add something. Or Porsche, you have to pay tons of money to get true leather but their fake leather feels great, the buttons have a nice solid feel, etc.
I think it's hard to tell at first glance, but once you settle into the car and start using it for a bit you notice these things. I thought a Limited BRZ had a nice luxurious interior when I first stepped into one (it is, compared to my MR2). 1 hour into playing around with and driving one I realized the AC controls looked okay but if you looked closer they're still kind of ugly, they feel loose and wiggly, some of the textures in the interior just look odd (esp. the "space invaders" crap), the seats are just okay, etc. Then I bought an FR-S and discovered the rattling window switches, rattling I still can't explain coming from the trunk, rattling rear seat latch (which is surprisingly annoying to fix), rattling seat adjustment lever, etc.
