I have the loaner overnight and put about 60 miles on it today.
The 330i feels big/heavy on the road compared to my 228i.
I think it is the xdrive in the 330i compared to the to the RWD 228i.
The 330i is quick, nice auto trans....but I kept looking for the clutch with my L leg most of the day !

I also took my M235i MT in for service yesterday and received a 330e loaner. While it's not as sporty or fun to drive as my car, if I were looking for a 4 door sedan that gets good gas mileage, I'd certainly consider it. I anticipated it would feel a lot bigger to drive, but it didn't seem very noticeable to me. Of course, I also drive my wife's Q5 and my GMC truck frequently, so moving from smaller to larger vehicles is something I am fairly used to doing. Even moving from my old MINI Cooper to my 2 Series didn't feel like I was driving a bigger car. Even though the 330e is nice, I'll be very happy to get my car back later today.
