Owned the E90 in both the sedan and coupe. Completely different cars than an F10. The E90 handled much tighter. The F10 is more of a touring car. I personally liked the way our F33 handled in the corners the best, but the F10 is extremely comfortable on a long road trip. The F33 was like a go kart. The E90 was a tad too small for my wife and I. I think the next one we'll try will be an F13.

E90 (i owned a couple for like 6+ years) is a very hard sprung, sporty driving car, much like E60 used to be also. The F series are much more comfortable. While I get what you are saying, for me in my 30s the smoother ride is a nice quality to have. Mind you, Ive had the z4 for 4 years also and that was very stiff. Your feedback is exactly what mine is comparing F11 to E90s, but I dont see it bad.

also, if you ever got the F10/11 with active drive and active dampers you probably would have a massively different conclusion i.e. F10 is amazing and E90 has a shit ride. Because make no mistake, E90 rides BADLY and its a result of its well handling chassis.

really? I drove an e90 with LOW M sport suspension.. like it looked aftermarket and I found the ride to be not bad at all. totally liveable with in fact. but I did drive an M sport 335i with low profile summers and that was pretty harsh.. going back to my f10 it was comfortable, but also soft in a bad way although I make use with what I got and still enjoy it immensely. the F10 on some windy backroads is where it really shines, feels so much lighter and nimble then it really is. I am also so glad mine is RWD thats part of the reason why i love it very much. and naturally aspirated.
