The F30 interior was a vast improvement over the E90, and the increased proportions actually helped sales. I agree with the steering, but the demand for the manual is infinitesimal. The real reason the 3 series was special was because of the driving dynamics. The reason it's losing marketshare is that it's dated, and the driving dynamics have taken a back seat.
