I read a bunch of reviews saying the new G20 3 series steering is better and went to drive it. I took a loaded 330i M Sport model for an extended test drive. The car has gotten huge! The steering is a bit better but BMW has definitely lost it with the driving experience. With the huge size and the lackluster feeling, it's not a compelling drive. The new Audi A4 is a much better driving experience and the build quality is top notch.
In today's world where a giant Porsche Panamera feels like a nimble sports car at speed, I don't see how BMW became such terrible driving cars. If their aim its to become a (less reliable) Toyota Camry, they've acheived it.
