328 loaner handles better than my 330?

fuhgetaboutit · 07-10-2008, 10:32 PM

I took my 2006 E90 330i in to fix the brake lining light (faulty sensor) and had a 328 loaner overnight. I immediately noticed the suspension was tighter and the car felt more nimble than my car. Why would that be and is there someway to "fix" my car's handling?

Both the 328 loaner and my 330 have sport package. Everything is stock on my car and the loaner (obviously) so my tires are wider and wheels larger than the 328's.

I don't know the first thing about handling and suspension. I just know what I felt and it felt like this 328 was dialed in much better than my 330.

Is this something the dealer would look into? Other ideas?
