I whipped it around for about 30 minutes and even in Comfort mode I was really impressed. In Sport mode, I felt like a boy racer again LOL. It brought me back to the first BMW I test drove back in the mid 90's.

I did not find the interior exciting. Maybe I just need to see the right colour schemes for the interior.

If a 330i drives like this, I can't wait to take an M340i for a run. I am impressed!
I walked away with a different impression. G20 330i xDrive felt heavy and slow. But better body roll control than the F30 xDrive.
I haven't driven the g20 but I have driven g30 and e90 in both xdrive and rwd. The x-drive models always feel heavier than the rwd versions partly because they are a decent amount heavier, but they also make the steering feel muddy from the torque going to the front wheels.
