I also didn't like how noticeable the auto start/stop was, but of course that's easily turned off. I thought the interior was as nice or nicer than my e90. The auto trans was also smoother than the e90. In general, I think the f30 is as nice as my e90, and more attractive, though I only care for the front bumper of the f30 in m-sport trim, whereas my pre LCI e90 base trim looks fine to me. So, if I were to upgrade, it'd have to be an m-sport.
Lux and Base suspension felt quite floaty to me. Sport and M-Sport(same suspension, different wheels/tires and pads), were far better but not jarring at all for DD'ing.
