Is the 2022 Golf R’s interior as troubling as everyone says it is?

2022 BMW M5 Competition: Ultimate Driving Missile
/
Nothing says BMW like the M5. Sure, the M3 is the enthusiast choice, but match prestige with driving preciousness and luxury appointments, and the M5 stands on a pedestal all its own.
