Can't wait for my F30 to get on a damn boat already, get here to the States.

Again, I'm not arguing that the F30 isn't nicer than the E90 in many ways, interior design is certainly much better. The suspension of many recent BMW's has been rather poor, largely due to RFT's, which have continued to improve.

The F30 is actually quite impressive in that it got bigger, more comfortable, has more features and still weighs roughly the same as the E90. Nothing not to like there.

However the EPS and some odd option grouping also took away a little of the sportiness. But that's a small quibble.

I'd suspect that many of us in this thread interesting in something like a 1er sedan weren't folks that cared for the E90 either. I personally didn't even like the E46, I thought it was an overstyled pastiche of all things BMW and too cluttered. But dynamically, it was pretty good.
