To add, a first year M340i is going to be a bit less desirable on the secondary market than a later model because of all the little improvements they will make along the way. So if you purchase a M340i and plan to sell it in 6 years (when purchasing starts to become less costly than leasing), it will not be as attractive as the 3 year old 2023 LCI model.
Agreed. LCI is the way to go anyway. I've learned that with E46, E90 and F30
