Wow, this is the first shot I have seen of the two different generations together. Even with one being an M car and the other a standard line car, the overall designs couldn't be more dissimilar, almost as if they were designed by two separate companies. |
This is exactly how I feel as well. I mean granted BMW has always been willing to radically switch designs from one generation to another as opposed to small evolutionary changes. I give them credit for that — it's risky.
To me though — the M340i felt extremely boring when I drove it, but I'll chalk it up to just not being their target customer anymore. It was not very enjoyable to drive, did not feel like a drivers car and was flat out not engaging. Maybe the 440i is better. If I only had the choice of that or the 330, I'd take the 330 and save the money. The X3M however was the opposite ( extremely fun to drive ) but it was $10k more as optioned. To me, that's money well spent and I think it's a good sign for the upcoming M3.
