Of course! The author is a hater with a chip on his shoulder. I am sure his bosses at MB and Audi paid him nicely for that puff piece. Criticize BMW design all you want, but to attack the interiors as being low quality and ergonomically mess is simply a falsehood. People read in between the lines and make your own conclusions.
