I know I'm not helping lol
Question: is used a consideration? If yes perhaps a used m340 that despite the current market has already absorbed a bit of depreciation would make the most financial sense

In a sense it does help. If I may ask, what makes the m340i more special compared to the other BMWs you have driven? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
I wouldn’t consider buying used, purely because a lot of BMW owners are known for their lack of care/maintenance on their cars (it may be a stereotype but it seems to hold weight). There’s also times where the owners can be dishonest about what they’ve done with maintenance. A good example is people who tend to not even warm up the car and floor it immediately off their driveway, not giving a chance for the engine to warm up or the oil to bypass (or so I’ve heard). I also was gonna get it brand new because I’m going to keep the car long term, not worried much about the resale value since I wouldn’t plan on selling it for a long time.
