[bsas340i]

Honestly, I think the M340i is extremely competitive and it's being overlooked because the majority of buyers aren't enthusiasts. Unlike many of you guys, I was quite happy with the steering composure. It's much more direct than my car (F30 340i), the suspension feels tighter (in a good way) and you can really feel the added rigidity in the way the car behaves. Comparing this car with the Hyundai isn't fair... The only thing the Hyundai has going is the price. The BMW has more power, more grip, it's faster yet more fuel efficient, has better brakes, more interior volume, bigger trunk AND it weighs less. The Hyundai is competent but I rather spend $51k elsewhere.
It's almost 2020, a loaded Mustang GT is $50k. A beautiful German sedan with rear wheel drive that does a 3.8 sec dash to 60 and a low to mid 12s quarter mile for $60k, doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
