They all share a basic foundation, but there's at least some key differences that make them look the part that's respectable to whatever class the vehicle might be in.

Exactly. That's what I like... the interiors are similar (not identical) with key differences.

The exterior, on the other hand, has to be changed for different models for obvious reasons and to accommodate the different dimensions of each model the interior will be tweaked.

Not like this. Sure, the E90-E93 all have the same interior, totally understandable as they are all dubbed the 3 series. I even understand X5 and X6 as X6 is theoretically the coupe of the X5. But there are no two models in the line of that are DIFFERENT and have the SAME interior. 3 and 5, no. 5 and 7, no. X5 and Z4, no. They all are different. So if BMW is going to introduce yet another model, a PAS, it should be different as well.

Edit: Now that it has been solved that the above picture is a repost of an X5 picture, I take my earlier comment back. Sedans and their coupes are allowed to have the same interior. Besides that, BMW does a fine job of differentiating their cars both on the outside and inside.
