In comfort mode the ride is quite compliant and smooth. The sore spot for me personally are the seats as I find them to be a bit uncomfortable. However in the US we are also limited to either sensetac or vernasca seats (I believe most of the rest of the world has the option for merino leather), so not sure if that'll make the difference since merino is typically softer. BMW really doesn't like us Americans.
Sport plus turns it into an absolute rocket ship. It's a blast to drive. It's not quite an M car, but it's damn good in its own right. Not to mention it'll make blissful noises the diesel could never hope to.
With all this said, if comfort/luxury/sex appeal is more important than sheer performance, I'd go with the 840d (assuming price also is not a concern). But definitely give the M340i a test drive (once the apocalypse is over). It'll put a smile on your face.
