Evolution is a great way to put it - there are many things that subjectively feel like they're a nice tick upwards for sure.
The twitch/tail happy is fun sure - but it seems to get "out of hand" more quickly for me in the 1er. Perhaps you're just a better driver than me
As far as the test drive goes, after driving around quite a bit for two days, I have to admit that I learned very little in my limited 5 mile initial drive. You either need 15 solid minutes without anyone in the car to bother you OR you need a longer drive than I had, with the combo of town, interstate, and back/curvy roads. That's where I was able to start making some generalizations between the two...
