  • The standard suspension is terrible from an enthusiast's perspective. Don't even waste your time test driving a non-Sport or M-sport model coming from a GTI.
  • Interior quality is very equal between the two cars. The fake aluminum trim and busy, overly stylistic interior of the F30 put me off. The wood options look and feel better(haven't sat in an M-Sport yet).
  • 328i wins hands down in engine dept. I felt more throttle lag in the GTI and of course less power.
  • Brakes and tires in the 328i were a let down. GTI wasn't much better.
I think the No-Line has the fake aluminium dont the the Sport and M-Sport is fake feels pretty real to me especially when parked out in the sun.

I think coming from a Gti you need to skip the 328i and go to the 335i. That way you will at least feel a big difference.
