Let's be honest. The G20 M340i is definitely an amazing upgrade from the F series in terms of driving feel, handling, and overall experience. But that being said the F series isn't bad by any means and as others have said is still a very respectable car, especially when well equipped. So I am afraid you are dealing with a great vs very great scenario, as am I. I think it would be foolish to trade in a perfectly fine F30/32 for the M340i if it was a costly move.

My play personally, is to try to put 100k+ miles on the 340i, and upgrade to the M340i after the facelift in the last two or so model years. I am not particularly keen on first model years anyway, or even pre facelift for that matter. It is the nature of engineering that initial releases more often than not can and are improved upon so to be restless on a move like that, unless you are absolutely fanatical about it for some reason, is money burning a hole in your pocket. Leases, extreme wealth, etc, can factor in of course.
