Turn in on a 328i will feel better (vs an E36/46) since the engine weights less and it's tucked further back into the chassis. What engine was in the F10? Surprisingly you mentioned lack of LSD on the F30 though I've never seemed to have an issue with wheelspin or not being able to get the power down. Dunno.
F10 - PSS
F30 - PSS
E36 - NT05
E46 - ? (street)

I've had issues sometimes with power down after some hard trail braking on a tight right hander. Slowing down and delaying getting on the throttle a few ms does seem to resolve it. I do have coilovers on the E36, so the stiffer springs may be allowing the car to recover faster/not travel as much.

I will say I missed my brakes on the F30. They can take a beating and keep on giving. OTOH, the e36 floaters with XP8 compound left a lot to be desired mid session.
