It looks more like foam then an actual plastic mold to me. If it really was a mold for the new interior they would not go through the trouble to put the E70's vents under it.

iDrive is not missing. Its simply a car equipped without navigation - hence the smaller screen. Exactly like on the E70.

BMW will shave costs by making the center stack of this dashboard identical to that found on the E70.

Well I meant, its supposed to stick out somewhat... The cladding is at least 1/2" because it hides the key fob completely...

That would be F5. This is a new category. Actually MB is also working on something to compete with this.
