Is E90 LCI (facelift) prettier than F30 - yes or no?

I have to say whilst I am sure the f30 is technically the better car and in measurable tests beats the e92, for feel, handling and fun factor the e92 wins by a country mile

You need to get your car into the dealer pronto. Must have a serious problem with your f30.

It's all personal opinions... The F30 is quite a bit softer than the E90 which effects the handling plus the steering is lighter. Having said that, if you drive an Audi then you realise just how good any BMW is!

i think comparing the E92 which is lower than the E90 (i think, or this could have been a load of crap told to me by the salesman) with the F30 is probably a little unfair as is comparing it with the 5 series (which is a lot more expensive and the size of a small town

)

i am however hoping that the F30 is as good as the E92 but i will see if i ever get the car. it is difficult to judge on a 10min test drive.

I think the F30 is 90kg lighter than the E92 due to all the cheap plastic, materials and cheaper seats they have used so that may help handling

.

As for the Sat Nav on the top of the dash board, i actual prefer it there i real hate the ones moulded into the dash board (i don't mean like the E92 which is basically the same as the F30 but has a hood over it) as generally they are at the wrong height and angle, and look crap IMO.

Example of the sat nav moulded into the dashboard (which i think looks really crap, NB now that is a really crap interior

):

The Audi version that very very slowly hides away looks cool but i would get pissed of waiting for it to pop up after a while and as i use the media functions would never need it hidden anyway.

Plus i really don't like any of the Audi designs at the moment apart form the R8. The A4 is super ugly and boring IMO so it is BMW for me again.

I do however really like the new A and CLA class so if the F30 is poor i will be getting shut of it and probably get the CLA as i do to many miles to be pissed off with the car i am driving.

For some reason I'm not too keen on the F30 but love the lines of the F31..do drive an E91 LCI so maybe I'm estate biased...
Would love a 335d X Drive F31
