Mother's searching for a car. So I happened across a white 320i sport locally and stopped by for a test drive. The car isn't remarkable enough to deserve its own thread.
Oh dear, it's like a completely different car company manufactured that, and my E90. Despite being equipped with sport seats, sport suspension, new summer Bridgestone performance tires, and a M sport steering wheel, the chassis and handling and steering felt so flabby and distant. I darted it into a mere 45° turn at a brisk (not excessive) speed and it's like a split second delay between steering input and reaction. The steering felt slow and told me nothing about the grip or road surface.
Is this really what the mainstream buyer wants in a car thesedays?

For what it's worth, my only other experience with the F30 3er was in a 328i sport back in 2012, with adaptive dampers, manual transmission, and variable steering.
That was
passable.
