Very reasonable feedback, as for Mercedes, I use them often when traveling (car hire) and I’m not exaggerating when I say the C class interior is mostly plastic and of very poor quality.
I’ve owned a number of BMW’s and have to agree with you.
Since I have 4 BMWs, and up until now have used the dealer for service, I have a chance to drive multiple loaners every year. Usually this will only be for oil changes and maintenance, but with the recent Takata Airbag recalls, and a couple of car issues, I'm in a BMW loaner well more than 4X a year. Usually I get a 3 or 5 series car, but one time I got a 230i, and I've had the i3 and X3 and X1 also. I have not driven a current M3, but then they don't give those out as loaners.
The current crop of "regular" cars that BMW sells are an embarrassment to the marque. This added to the fact that BMWs are not cheap to own or maintain, would have me looking at many other brands before I would buy a car that competes with their main line vehicles.
