I went from F30 335i -> F36 435GC ->F30 340i..
I can tell you that the driving characteristics between F30 3 series and F3X 4 series are different.
The reason i got the F36 was because i got a 4 series as loaner when my 335 was in service. and i knew i had to switch within 10 mins of driving the 4 series. Those are the things you cannot measure with #s.
I went back to F30 340i for much better leasing program in 2018 vs. 4 series. I kinda regret it tho... |
Thank you for being honest about it.
The differences are far from subjective.
Alone the lower CoG and almost 50:50 distributed weight make a massive difference.
But yes - if driven by grandma, they'd be exactly the same (colour being the only difference) and she'll objectively get from A to B exactly as fast with either of them.
The 3 is not a bad car! It is just not a 4.
