The F30 electric steering just doesn't feel "BMW" unless you order Variable Sport Steering (which I doubt your loaners had). It's pretty good with VSS. The F30 328i blows the E90 328i out of the water based on my driving.
The sDrive X1s have a similar problem with electric steering (I'm curious as to how close the servotronic option comes to feeling like the F30 w/VSS). The xDrives have the hydraulic steering assist BMW veterans are used to.
