backed out of my X1 deal....just a few too many things I didn't like

Well guys, I'm not putting down the X1..but I backed out of my deal that I had set for a few reasons. This was going to be my first Bimmer...so expectations were fairly high even with it being sort of "entry level". When I sat in it...i was majorly dissapointed in the interior and amount of plastic. It's just not what i wanted or expected from BMW.My 2009 Chrysler 300 SRT8's interior is superior buy a mile...even though Chrysler gets thrown under the bus for it's interiors.
This could be argued...and it's open to debate, but in my opinion going with the crappy Goodyear run flats is a mistake.Yes i know there is no spare, but this thing could ride and handle like a dream with a really nice tire.
I also read an alarming amounts of complaints about rattles and noises...again...just not what i'd expect from BMW.
On one hand I really liked it and am pained buy backing out, but if I have to wait longer for the rough edges to be sorted out of this car, then that's what I'm gonna do.
