Just had a E90 320d wagon for a loaner while my car was serviced. It gave me a good opportunity to compare to the F30. The F30 is slightly bigger & was more comfortable on the road even though mine has 19" wheels compared to the E90's 17". I understand what people are saying about the steering, the E90 is much stiffer, but I prefer the F30 for most day to day driving, as its much easier to maneuver in parking areas, etc. Although I think the F30 interior is far more exciting, I do think the E90 has better quality, at least in terms of the plastics, creaking, rattling, etc. I prefer the arrangement of the radio and climate controls in the F30, the radio is below and recessed in the E90, and it was not as intuitive for me to use. The E90 is quieter at speed though, I definitely noticed a difference in wind noise at @80 mph. I also noticed the E90 has bigger side mirrors. I did enjoy my time in the E90, but I definitely prefer the F30.
