I recently had an F30 while my E91 was in the shop. The editor's comment regarding the audible character of the N20 engine is right on. It's fast, but sounds only slightly better than our 7 year old Civic. The whole car felt lighter, and was remarkable quick when you wanted it to be. Steering felt a lot lighter than the E91, but wasn't bad per se, just never had that same tactile feel.
Curious how the 320d will stack up when that's released (hopefully stateside).
