I put about 60 miles on a F30 328xi sport w/paddle shifters, and purchased a 2011 328i 6MT. Maybe the F30 felt marginally faster.....my clutch skill is average at best (been driving trucks, Volvos and Subies most of my life, all 4 and 5 speeds, nothing like a real performance tranny) so I am sure this factored into it. Compared to the 328xi I nearly purchased though, the 2013 F30 version is much, much more aggressive, both in shifting and hitting torque at a low RPM. Easily felt 15% faster than the E90 version.
I ended up going with the E90 328i 6MT because I felt it was equivalent in performance, more fun to drive, and nearly $20k cheaper!
I wonder if I am the only one who feels that way?
