I might be completely wrong here, but it also feels like BMW 3er interior went down hill post E46. You start to see the poor quality materials and more road noise in the E90, and then in the F30 it's even worse! You get alibaba coloured trim BOO

The E9X imo is probably the low point in BMW interiors with fragile painted plastics that crack as they age.
The Dakota leather in the regular F30 is pretty gross, but then the Merino leather in the F80 is so fragile. Knock on wood no issues on my leather but lots of ppl have insane wear on the seat bolsters.
The higher end stuff seems to wear a bit better. The leather in the X5 is wearing quite well.
