2015 435i MSport vs. 2020 M340i
I can't seem to find a comparison out there. If you came from a 435i to a M340i can you point out the differences or similarities? I know the M340i has a lot more power stock but I am running BM3. If this has already been posted let me know with a link.

I previously owned a 2013 BMW 335 with an M-sport package and BM3 stage 1 upgrade. While I enjoyed the N55 engine, the newer B58 engine is truly impressive. The overall refinement of the car has been greatly improved, with a much better chassis and stronger stock performance compared to my tuned 335. Additionally, the technological advancements are a night and day difference.

I owned a 2015 435i xDrive with MPPK. The car had plenty of power but lacked in the handling department (due to non-sport suspension and no LSD).
The M340i is definitely faster and handles a bit better. The suspension is a little on the firmer side, even with adaptive suspension. |

I think one of the biggest difference is the engine - Coming from a 2013 335i xdrive, in terms of reliability and potential, the B58TU (which I have now) is a good investment unless you are a good mechanic 😊

I had a 2015 435 with MPPK and M Exhaust. As far as I can tell, the M440 includes the MPPK and MPE. Is this correct?
The 435 with Mperf was one of my favorite cars, except for the drive by wire. |

The interior is a different design language, that some people find subjectively better or worse, depending. iDrive, to me, is a slight improvement with the layout and customizability. Interior ambient LED lighting is much brighter and adorns more of the cabin than the subtle F3X lighting.
