I switched from a 2011 E90 335i xDrive 6-MT to a 2014 F22 M235i 6-MT.
The E90 lacked the sports suspension due to the xDrive.
The M235i is a vast improvement overall. A few nagging points include the ever so intrusive hill assist, and the default setting in Comfort mode upon start-up (it does not remember last mode used). As far as the ride quality, handling and comfort - the specifically tuned suspension with the combination of non-RFT Michellins PSS are absolute win over the E90 xDrive - the car does not jump over the creases on a highway, etc. The steering on M235i can be light but it is precise, and I don't really have any complains about it.
