The F3x is lacking something for me that I can't put a finger on yet. Certainly from what I've read so far the steering is nowhere near as crisp and communicative as on the E46. As far as I am concerned the ZHP is the best non-M 3 series ever built.
I know what you mean. While I love our 2013 335 M Sport tremendously, there is a lack of communication with the road in comparison to our 2001 E46. In most ways I feel that the F30 is an improvement, but does not have the driver connection to the road of the E46. If we had the room, I would buy our 330ci back again as a third car. Not sure if that the person that we sold it to would want to sell it back to us though. just my 2 cents!
