I bought my new 530d Attiva in May 2004. Since then, I traveled for 34.000 km on it and have been constantly frustrated by a number of quality issues related to the interior. Doors are noisy (apparently it's a problem generated by defective doors' gaskets), front passenger's seat is squeeking when occupied, dash board is very noisy (with a strong "bonk" every time you drive over uneven surface); I appreciate the driving characteristic of my bimmer, but I'm totally disappointed by the quality of interior. Several interventions by the dealer were not sufficient to solve the problems that are still all present.
Now, after two weeks in the workshop, I will get my car again with the promise that everything has been fixed.
Did anybody else live my same experience?

What's a 530d Attiva?
I haven't really had many issues with the interior. It doesn't sound like those would be common problems if they took 2 weeks to solve.

Eletta- the basic one
Attiva- sport oriented
Futura-comfort oriented
For 545 and 535d only Bmw offers also a special "full options" version: Eccelsa. Of course, you can reach the same level of equipment on any other version, but it will cost you more than to order the full package.
Price difference from the lowest to the richest could as much as 20%
