How much does the quality improve as you go up the BMW range?

Recent threads about the quality of various aspects of the F30 - leather, paintwork, plastics, squeaks and rattles etc had me wondering whether this is something that is reflective of the lower end of the range ie. 1 series and 3 series, and that as you move up the range to 5 and 6 series, larger X models, M models etc that there is a definite improvement in these aspects?

I have to admit that I have little experience outwith the 3 series and the Z4, apart from 2 months in an E60 520d. I found that to be very well put together and a step up in interior robustness from an E90 at that time.

So just curious as to what experience and thoughts others have on these things. Is it just plastics that improve, or does the paintwork get better too for example?
