In the US, The 3 Series seems to be marketed very differently - you only get the performance models. Over here in Europe, they're mostly the ones with ~150hp diesels - basically mile munches for sales reps. The 330i and above are pretty rare. Although, the 330e is now a big seller due to company car tax. I've just ordered one where my default would have been a 320d.

One thing to remember though, is the Stelvio has a higher center of gravity, and is a physically bigger vehicle. I remember Jeremy Clarkson mentioned this in the Grand Tour, saying the quick steering does wonders for the Giulia QF sedan, but doesn't work well on the heavier and higher Stelvio SUV.
I've driven the Giulia Ti Sport, and I find the quick steering to make a really engaging driving experience, as well as making the vehicle feel more nimble when driving. I didn't find it to be a problem on the highway, although I only took it up to 75mph.
