Edit: For example, they changed the E30 rear console from a laminated soft vinyl adhered to a plastic base to a hard plastic stamped piece that neither matched in color, texture, or sheen to the originals. Or, hell, even to the new center console or new dash available at the same time.

It really doesn't matter if a part is more cheaply made. What does matter is that the part still meets specifications, performance and quality standards of BMW. I assume you bought one which again does not indicate all of that part sold are the same as the one you purchased. That is your experience and it is worthwhile to hear but should not be used as a generalization of declining quality of BMW parts. This began with your statement that BMW parts in general have declined in quality.
