I'm a firm believer in sticking with that made the brand famous. While we have had X5's, a couple 8 cylinder BMW sedans and a 4 cylinder BMW sedan, I find the BMW 6 cylinder sedans to be the sweet spot.
The straight 6 has a smoothness, a sound and a personality that the other engines don't come close to matching. The sedans have near perfect balance.
I was considering an X3M this time around. I drove it. It was very nice, and very fast. Then I got in the M340. I think BMW has really done a great job with the M340. It reminds me of the harmony of the e39 530. If they offered it with a stick I would have bought that, but honestly this automatic in this car is really quite good.
Always nice chatting with you guys.
