I guess that just leaves the G80 then. Based on all the threads like this I’ve seen over the years, I still think you are taking a risk if you move down a tier. Right now, you are certainly not the only one who’d bet the farm that they’ll hate the car for the next six years. Again, just from experience, I know a fair share will lose that bet. Of course, leasetrader.com can help rescue you as long as you negotiated a good rate.

I didn’t see that criteria, but it’s true the M3 will be less gentle than a 328i. However, I’ve see some complaints here about the M340i suspension too, so either way he’s going to be adjusting to it.
