Cause the interior of MB is miles better than any BMW out there.
Can't say I agree with the above (with regard to interior comparison). But, to each his own. These types of things are always subjective.

From my perspective -- as a G12 7-Series owner (and former F02 7-Series owner) -- I really like the interior. In fact, I love it. Luxury means a lot of things to a lot of people, but to me, I appreciate "restrained" luxury more than I do "lavish" luxury. There's a difference. BMW, at least for this generation of 7 Series, is keeping things more restrained... more refined. Beyond the layout of the interior, one of my favorite things would be the metallic buttons and switchgear. It's everywhere -- even the buttons on the steering wheel are metallic. There's a millisecond of satisfaction every time I use one of the buttons. They're cool to the touch, reminding me that they're not injection-molded plastic, but real metal. It's the subtle things like this that telegraph "luxury" to me. There are myriad other features like this as well.
