Yeah buddy, I feel the same. The F30 has an electronic steering which is really disappointing for a Bimmer enthusiast. Big no to the F30 from me and that's one of the major reason. However, it'd be easier to drive in the city I'd say.

Yeah too some extent I do agree, but those raw E90 muscle and sharpness is missing. Looks more sophisticated I reckon. To each its own but that's what I think.

Don't know about the highline variant but I'm pretty sure they did it on the lower editions :P

F30 is brand new and with brand new = new problems. I would never buy a first run of production year of cars if I really had the choice...
and the discount you will get for an E90 will be worth it alone - and the differences between an E90 and F30 aren't worth nearly as much as $8 g's.

Wilco buddy. The current E90 has all the problems solved except the stiff ride quality that some owners complain. But who cares! Not worth spending $8,000 more
