Building on your Atlanta comment... I've seen 2 in Atlanta since I got my M340 in April 2019...Ironically I've also seen these 2 cars each on 2 separate occasions...
A Mineral Gray Metallic on North Highland,
A Sunset Orange near Emory village.

Mine is spec'd to murdered Black Sapphire Metallic in case our paths cross at some point down the road.

I live in Richmond, Va. and I see mostly 330I's lately. I have only seen two 340's so far and one was being delivered to a college student at dealership. I am waiting to end of year for savings on 2021 and that's when the 340I will start popping out everywhere.

All my sightings have been where I live, Reston, VA. Seem to be a handful around the area, but no doubt they will become much more common over the next year or so.

I like that they're not everywhere. I'm sure popularity of SUVs holds back the presence of the G20 a bit -- especially once the price tag gets into the $60k+ range. That's fine with me. I like SUVs, but if I'm going that route it won't be a small one, minimum would be X5, and one equipped how I would want it was more than I wanted to spend ($74k), and I still love the drive and feel of a sports sedan.

I honestly thought I was going to lease the X3M competition. Had read a lot of good things. I drove it. It was OK. Actually better than that. It was very nice.

Then I got in the M340. I wasn't a half mile down the road and I knew I was getting the sedan. It is just so sweet. BMW got this one right.

I agree, and I also drove the X3M, and honestly if I were looking for a small SUV it's probably the only one I would consider. I'm just not a fan of small SUVs.

I had the exact same test drive experience and made the same choice you did. 😊

I tested the X3 M40i and X3 M Competition. I went with the M3 M40i. Just a better all round daily driver....which is what we needed the SUV for. Its enough Jekylle and Hyde.

I saw one too last Friday again heading south in Miami on the turnpike. Person was tailing a Lexus LX470 lol. Highway empty and just following closely behind the Lexi.

Looks like mineral gray, it was early morning so couldn't tell. Second time encountering this exact car. So once I caught up, I changed lanes and went on my merry way.
