Anything was better than a 2008 til 2014 Dodge Challenger interior... it's like they didn't even care. Luckily they gave the interior some attention in 2015, but the cars before that were woeful. This is the interior on '100th anniversary edition' (100 years of Dodge, I guess?) 2014 Challenger...
As I'm sure is news to no-one here, the more exclusive/rare the car, the more expensive the parts are likely to be. Front OEM brake pads for my viper are like $250 (USD), hell, a wiper blade is $165 (USD). Unfortunately for owners of rare/old cars, most OEM parts aren't even available anymore...
I had a base S197, the interior wasn't great but it wasn't horrible. With my S550, I went for the premium interior and don't regret a penny spent. You spend much more time looking at the interior of your car than the exterior, after all (at least when driving lol).
I'm not sure if BMW has an...
I didn't "accuse" you of anything ,nor did I say my opinion was worth any more than anyone else's.
Everyone has their own preferences. For me, I won't own a car with less than 3 pedals 🤷‍♂️
I had an S197 (2013) with the 3.7L and I thought it was criminal how much peoples faces would twist up when I said it was a V6. Meanwhile the last 4.6L GT in 2010 only had 10 more hp than my V6.
For what it's worth, I kind of don't mind touchscreen "infotainment" systems (android auto and such), providing there's physical controls on the steering wheel for next/prev track and volume controls :)
I don't mind screens over physical gauges, in fact I prefer them (the speedo in my viper is so small it's illegible) but I definitely prefer actual tactile switches over any touchscreen interface in a vehicle.
Actually had one mess with me a bit when I was out in the Mustang last summer lol. He wasn't even driving the speed limit so I passed him on a back road and then quite a bit later he decided to roar past me, I let him go, but if he wanted to go fast in the first place I wouldn't have passed him...
