I wish I saw this thread before I did my little comparison. I definitely agree though, the m-sport 230i xdrive I had as a loaner car really wasn't anything special. I think most of the problem really does come from the steering. The steering in that car was a joke. However, the engine was lovely and the transmission was a masterpiece. I was really truly impressed with both. And the proportions of the car were perfect, not too big and not too small. In my opinion the 1er is just slightly too small and the e9x is slightly too big. The 2 series was just right. I hope I get a chance to drive a rwd m235i/240i to really get a feel for a proper 2 series
