As always, I find myself somewhat disconnected between the thoughts and opinions made on here, and my own.
A very large portion of that is the fact that I’d never consider the M models to begin with. Because I couldn’t afford them even if I wanted to. The M340i was even a stretch for me, and only possible due to my unique living situation. Otherwise, a Subaru would have been my car of choice most likely.
In that respect, the M340i IS a great M car alternative. The difference between the two of them is smaller than the difference between the 330i and M3, which is also a lot smaller of a difference between a Honda civic and an M3.
It’s not just about the value between the m340i and m3, it’s also about that it doesn’t really matter how much better the m3 is, because most people can’t afford it and never will have it anyway. Which makes this thread pretty irrelevant to anyone other than people who have the money for an M3. Therefore the m340i is a great m3 alternative, because it’s cheaper and gets 90% of the way there, and that’s all that matters to people like me.
