LOL, wait until you get to SoCal, there are a TON of Bimmers around. You'll think you're in Munich with better weather.

It felt cheap to me and I couldn't wait to get my car back. I'm actually glad I bought my CPO E60 over a 2013 335 m sport a couple months ago. Saving up for my next car. A cpo M6 gran coupe might be in the near future for me
I couldn't agree with you more. I too received a 2013 328i as a loaner while my e60 was in the shop. It felt so much lighter compared to my 550i lol. However it felt like it was cheaply made. The steering was not as tight, the car was not stable at higher speeds. The car overall didn't appeal to me, except for the sharp aggressive front design.

You guys might laugh, but what I really did not like about the F30, was the back seat - felt cheap, had no side support at all. E9x back seats were adequate, but on the F30 they decided to cheapen it. And yes, I have to agree, it did feel cheap.

Here's, an idea, BMW! If you're gonna make a cheap car, MAKE IT A HOOT TO DRIVE! I.e. light, balanced, communicative steering, revvy engine, excellent gearbox. Basically, take a Lotus Elise/Exige and make a 4-door version of it with a kidney grille and a roundel.
