I think the ash grey is the glossy wood option. Was it shiny/glossy or matte?

It was glossy ... but I didn't like the look ... This is coming from someone whose all previous Bimmers were wood trim

There is always one.

In disagreement here, especially in M Sport trim. Sorry you feel that way.

cars nowadays are too busy on the outside and inside. I feel at the expense of looking "premium" corners are cut and products like this come out...

like that orange/brown interior on the black 3er with aluminum trim looks hideous.

I guess I need to see the G80 before I totally down this generation. As I thought the f3x was hideous until they extended them hips!

also the LED lighting is ghetto AF. I understand if it was more ambient and only in a few colors. Not just bashing BMW; but sometimes less is more. Like mazada's interior is so clean and well designed. simple let elegant.

i gotta see one in the flesh; but even sitting in the f90 the interior was too busy

I'm sorry I feel this way too! I saw the M Sport version at BMW Welt this past week and had a chance to sit in it. It sits incredibly nice. But the tail lights and grille are even more hideous in person. I couldn't even look at the grille because it just made me upset. The tail lights aren't all terrible, but my standards for the #1 automotive brand in the world are quite high and these tail lights look incredibly generic to me and not Bavarian at all. The front and rear speak as if this is a lazy knock off of BMW and not an actual BMW, let alone the newest and freshest version. Looking at the body kit from a profile view was borderline perfect though.

I can see the argument that the cars have become a bit "busy" but when you really break it down, a car such as the 340i coming stock with the Turbo 6 and LSD, and the whole package, is actually pretty impressive. Sometimes I feel like it is the spec that can make it overdone, as has always been the case. Also I have noticed they are difficult to photograph well, which is the case for a lot of modern cars.

For example, this does not look bad at all to me, minus maybe the side decals:
