I am pleased to say that the material on the G20 seems to have the same OUTER layer as that which the F30 had but it appears to be lacking the padding underneath. The F30 was a sandwich of hard plastic, padding in the middle and the softer outer vinyl type layer. The G20 has the hard plastic underneath and the soft vinyl exterior but no padding underneath. Since it is not raw, hard, cheap plastic (which was what I feared) I can live with it. As other posters have indicated, the carpet lining in the bin is also gone but that is not such a deal breaker for me.
Good for you!! I think you needed to do that to satisfy yourself before your ordered car arrives. Glad to hear you found a satisfactory answer. Now you can enjoy the rest of the wait for your car to arrive. Thanks for the update on what you found. I just couldn’t imagine that BMW would have gone to pure hard plastic on the G20.
