I like the ATS's interior design. I more prefer the F30's exterior.
Whilst he did state that he preferred the Caddy's handling, he had some pretty significant commentary on the two cars' engines. The Caddy seemed to put out less than it's stated 270 and he preferred the F30's smooth and linear power delivery. Further, he was none too kind toward the operation of the Caddy's manual shifter.

It's not as simple as stating that he chose the Bimmer because of his perceived impressions of the interior quality. That was 1 data point amongst other items.
