Thought the biggest difference between the two lay in throttle response and pull. MB pulled only after 0.3 seconds and, then, only from 30-70 mph. BMW kicked convincingly at all reasonable speeds and almost instantly. In other words, hp and torque and rapid turbo scroll up ruled the day.
On the steering front, most folks don't seem to distinguish steering weight from steering feel. Both cars respond to a light touch compared to E90, but the F30 possesses the nimbleness and clarity of a roadster even when it responds to finesse rather than muscle; the MB, in contrast, strives to emulate a flagship luxury sedan.
