I think you're overreacting a bit. BMW, like Audi, chooses to go the simple/modern/sporty route with their interior designs. I personally like the traditional flair that Merc adds to their interiors, but nobody is going to sit inside and think "wow this makes me feel like driving fast."
I can tell they used the original 8er's interior as an inspiration when designing this car. It's definitely a bit on the "plain" side, but the simple design fits the brand's identity.
