Interesting, I've found that the feels are worse now than they have been in the past.

F10 vs E39, the steering wheel buttons feel cheaper, less resistence. The jog wheels are "loose", imho. The programmable convenience buttons require a longer-than-usual press to bring up the memorized function.

IDrive wheel is not bad, windows buttons have definitely improved. Turn signal and wiper stalks are much worse, E39 was smoother and higher quality feeling.

I had a loaner F30 for a while, couldn't believe how cheap everything felt. At least the distinction between F10 5-series and F30 3-series is more pronounced now.

But overall, I'd say the haptics are worse now than they were before. Audi's haptics are more "metallic, clicky", and terrible, imho. At least the BMW's maintain a "dampened" feel with all the buttons.
