Part of it can be attributed to the 8-speed which doesn't fall off boost during upshifts. But the difference in feel is pretty significant.

+1, the F30 6MT with turbo and flat power band(that drops off) is harder to time the shifts than previous N/A non-turbo MT(e.g. E39, E46). It takes some time to get used to the sound and power delivery of the I4 turbo. The 8AT hides all that from the users. But I am sure any MT driver is up to the challenge.
