I know what your talking about..The transition from my previous e46 330ci to the e90 330i, the car felt much more mature heavy and subtle. Everything felt better, tighter, smarter and the interior feels more luxurious then ever. I cant say i hate it but if all the german cars are going with this route, i can say i will miss the raw german feeling. But likewise, i found that difference to be in the mkiv and the mkv gti too. Although i have only test drove both several times, the cars revealed that maturity. I geuss you can say when technology advances, technology basically matures....Love it or hate it..
