Keep in mind, my thoughts are about as subjective as can be. I do think the N20 is a great motor and I also thought the standard 328i suspension was decent too but for some reason it just didn't feel as awesome as I had hoped. Maybe I went into our time together with too high of expectations.

It could be too high of expectiations. I guess mine was the opposite experience. Owning an e46 years ago, I wasn't really impressed with the BMWs after it until this F30. I was also so impressed with the 8 speed auto that I will not have a manual trans in my everday driver for the first time in my 20+ years of driving.
