The Bf 109E had a more inclined seating position for the pilot, which would reduce the effects of high-G combat manouvres compared to the Spitfire and Hurricane with their more traditional seating.
So its not only a matter of a/c performance, nor pilot quality.
Also there is a difference between instantaneous and sustained, and high or low speed turning, even right or left hand turning.
The British types were clearly superior when it comes to sustained low speed turning, and IIRC left hand side.
Plenty of reports to be read on the subject both in print and online.
