Similar dilemma to yourself, coming from e90 330i msport touring 272 bhp have driven all sorts and here's my take ;

F31 visually unappealing front with droopy nose, squared off headlights reminicent of Capri GXL ( shock horror )
Right colour & wheels other angles looks good. Inside much better than e90, 320d good performance / economy balance but rubbish with window down

F11 needs msport IMO visually and handling, think don't need adaptive. Not as sharp as f31 as you would expect but still compared to audis and Mercs I drove exceptionally good. Great seats, space, practicality, 2.0 diesel much smoother and quieter than f31 but unmistakenly 4 pot diesel. Toys even better than f31. 3.0 diesel outstanding and quoted by clarkson ( correctly for once ! ) as the best real world car in the world....

So, was just about to order f11 520d fully navved up then decided best solution was f11 530d imperial, cloth, 19's, Multi function display panel ( best toy yet ) privacy, lumber, USB, visibility pack
Due in may and will give full verdict then.
