I translate that to mean (due to experience in the E91 with the same issue) as "not quite so refined", "more of a fidget" and "less composed over our typical UK roads".... compared to the saloon.

I'm yet to try an F31 touring, but most UK reviews hint at the firmer rear suspension of tourings, just taking the edge off off the saloon ride/handling balance. Was just the same for the E90/1. Tourings just don't work quite so well, until there is a bit of load in the boot.
