the m440i is slower than a m340i on the factsheet.
i dont understand that, too because there is no significant weight difference between both. maybe it is caused by actual regualations/restriction in emissions or something |

Extra components, more refinement... ?
Definitely a different feel with the hybrid/electric assist. Through transitions it is noticeable, and the acceleration is smooth, smooth everywhere. Suspecting onset of boost is assisted by the alternator along with what seems to be refined tuning. No objective knowledge with any of this but there is a clear difference from the M340i, even though the 3 is really not far off in any terms of performance and enjoyment. The chassis and powertrain combo in the M440i is distinguishably good. |

don't trust the factsheet. The M440i is a coupe, lower to the ground and undoubtedly the better handling chassis.
I don't think the M340i version that is out now has the 48V hybrid system either? |
