Having owned both cars together for many years, the E90 feels like it has a broader torque curve in daily driving, but both feel very similar. The E90 gets better gas mileage.
FWIW, I think my ZHP was the C&D test car in that it has that "press package" option in the build sheet, is identical in options/color to the C&D test car, and before I bought it, it was owned by BMWNA. No sunroof = awesome headroom clearance when wearing a helmet (main reason I hunted forever to find an E90 M3 w/o sunroof). I bought it with 14k miles on it back in April 2005 with CPO warranty. By 20k miles the transmission was grinding 2nd and 3rd horribly which of course was replaced under warranty along with clutch/flywheel. My daughter owns the car now (and tracks/autocrosses it regularly).
