The M3 interior's simplicity/clean lines, ambient lighting and materials are pretty hard to beat at this price point IMHO.

The M3 is not much different in this respect. The doorpanel on our cars I'm not sure that it has leather because know for sure that where the speaker mounts, it's vinyl (I had the panel apart). The resting area of the door MIGHT be leather but I didn't check.
The stitching and tightness of the leather in the S5 I like better. Honestly, I the only part of the interior I like better on the M3 is the seat belt thingies and the ambient lighting.
