- S4 was a decent car but just wasn't fun. It was a very muted experience.
- C43 sounded great but it was a bit TOO harsh, and that interior is getting long in the tooth.
- M340i is the best overall car in performance, tech, interior etc.

That being said, it's definitely a matter of personal preference and you'll simply have to test drive them to decide for yourself. Many people find the power in the 330i more than adequate (and for the most part, it is).

I personally found the power in the M340i simply intoxicating, and was coming from a 400 hp Q50 RS, so I couldn't see myself going so far down in power with the 330i. I also live out in the suburbs with lots of large, open roads and highway, so I'm able to enjoy the power that the M340i offers.
I agree 100%. I love Throttle House. And James is a friend. But I’ve loved TH even before I got to know him.

And your views regarding the three cars are EXACTLY how I felt too.

Is the M340i better than the 330i? Undoubtedly! If one is choosing between the 330i and M340i, budget no issue, get the M340i. Period.
