BMW should not be too gready - they are now on the top of Premium automobiles.
As we know, from the top there's only one way and luckily for us consumers,
the competition is there waiting.

I had same leather seats and, anyway, inside the seats there are the subwoofers, what sounds different are the side speakers, much different!!!

I don't care if there is a new individualsomething system, the Logic 7 on LCI costs exactly the same as for pre-LCI.

Given inflation that must mean to maintain the same selling price and a similar level of profit, cheaper parts may have been used.

Inflation is not the point, this is just a wrong selection of components, just to save money. And it's not acceptable from BMW.
Funny, just few minutes ago BMW Italy called me for a post-sale survey... I've complained about it, mismatching trims, and bad painting of shark finn... let's see

That's not true at all...
Overall the LCI in UK went up 4% on average since the last price rise. Inflation exists. Profit is needed. Sales volume is needed.
Work the rest out for yourself

It's a simple fact..

The point is this: you cannot sell to customers what they are used to know as a product with a certain quality level , with same name and same price, but with noticeable lower quality.
If they would have called it Logic 6 or Illogic 7, I did not complain...
This is marketing

Take a marketing risk, upset a few, but make mega profit.

I take your point but, unfortunately, it happens all the time.
