I disagree. Winding, bumpy roads with variable grip is where the F20 shines. Compared to earlier BMWs, the F20 M-Sport suspension is rather soft. This enables it to flex over bumps without redistributing the load much or lifting wheels off the ground. It stays planted, and in balance. You can go hard on the brakes in the middle of corners without upsetting the car, and the steering is quick. The electronic fake differential (when driving DSC Off) kicks in when you power out of tight corners, helping you to keep the line tight with no understeer.
The M135 will be traction limited in slippery conditions due to excessive power, and lose out to AWD cars in such conditions. This is however not much of an issue with our 116i M-Sport! :-)
