I think they're befitting of the price.

I prefer MB interiors to BMW. Audi I'd place somewhere in the middle. They're not Rolls Royce, but you get a high-end interior for the price with most of their models.
I also like the digital infotainment & gauge cluster screens in the newest models, too. No idea how this will age, though, and I'm glad my layout is analogue because I never have to worry about lag, or fataed up pixels or anything. Still looks cool as I sit here today, though:
Not a fan of this style, though (with the tablet - 2014 C-Class pictured):

As you said, it's relative to the price point though. The interior pictured is a base C-Class, so of course some corners will be cut when it comes to materials, etc. I had a 2015 C63 and - despite the tablet that everyone was doing at that point - it was was a pretty nice interior with the sport seats, carbon, leather dash, contrast stitching, etc... It didn't really give up much to the contemporary S Class.
