The general consensus of the G chassis cars seems to be that driving dynamics are improved over F chassis but they still leave something to be desired. I think this new 3er falls into that category. Probably better than most [but not all] competitors, but that's not saying much as the 3-series used to always be heads and shoulders above the competition to drive.

I'll have to drive it for myself to see if it's good "enough" for me, otherwise I will seriously have to consider other brands; I'd have no choice. When you sell your soul to be everything to everybody [in the pursuit of volume] you're bound to disappoint somebody.
That sucks, I really don't want a bigger than f30 car. Otherwise I'd get a 5-er. Hopefully M3 will still be nimble and light on its feet
