The ATS is, fundamentally, a better driver's car than the f30 right now. It's more connected to drive, trim to trim. Part of that is because it's smaller - it's got a backseat closer to an e46 than an f30.

BMW is working with an e39-sized 3-series when making the f80 M. It's going to have some challenges and the ATS-V may be able to produce a more track-oriented vehicle at the end of the day.

Personally, I didn't care for the ATS at all until I drove one back to back with a f30. I still like the f30 more for day to day, but the ATS was the backroad bomber.

That being said, the ATS may lose it's magic when given tons of power. We shall see.
