It does not feel like quality 80k car. This is a personal opinion, and many people don't care about interiors as much as I do.
Every time I go from my wife's F30 (with the latest tech) to G20 I notice a huge difference in quality.
As I commute 80 miles a day, I do not see myself driving a pure M car in CA traffic and avoid idiots every day. The experience just stops being special. You start getting annoyed by small things in your M car. That is why I chose to get an M340 and park my M cars for weekend spirited driving.
Just my 2 cents.
Full Merino leather in my F80 makes the G20 feel lackluster. Case in point the top of the dashboard above the G20 is just hard plastic. The only thing I miss is the LED lighting strip. Full leather option in the G20 would be appreciated.

My commute is 8 to 10 minutes if I'm not working remote so that makes sense. I wouldn't want to commute in any car, period.

The G8x options will perfect the G20 interior.
