The only difference is that the exterior paint has the clear coat on it.
The quality of the paint and how it is applied by BMW is at a premium level to the paint processes used on a ASTRA by OPAL. A shinny paint job means nothing.
It is not BMW saving money on a paint job.
Like all BMWs now built in Germany, the entire body of the 1er is submurged and rotated through several tanks using electrolysis and chemical reactions
This process neutralises, seals, protects and primes all the surfaces including the inner frame and cavities before it is painted, so there is no reason to clear coat those internal panels as they are not constantly effected by sunlight and the enviroment. Yes it probably saves a few euros in coatings and time, however I am sure that the process of the dipping is far more costly.
