Lol! I'm quoting myself and contradicting myself at the same time. Just picked up a 328i for my wife's commuter. Took it through the canyons and the suspension is a bit soft but surprisingly very little understeer, which makes it fun to drive. The steering is a huge downgrade from the e90. Where whenever I got behind the wheel of the e90, I'd want to drive hard, but the f30 emits a more muted steering, which causes you to drive slower
the car just doesn't poke and prod you to drive enthusiastically as the steering of old. The car is no less capable if not more, but it lost its taught German/ BMW feel. It's become a great commuter that puts down great numbers for mag racers.
Btw bms has cracked 300whp with tube only....
