Anyway, does the F30 suffer in a similar way when hitting pot holes and manholes when pushing on around the bends? Or is the suspension much better regardless of the fact run flats are fitted?

Cheers.
In my experience we have moved on. I know exactly what you mean by wheel hop in an E90. It is the tyres, as getting away from run-flats changes that feature. It was one of the first things I noted in a standard suspension F30 I test drove, it was as if the car wasn't on run-flats. Much more refined over broken surfaces.
