Agree, missing the AMG performance exhaust as well. The MPE is on my radar, stock is just not doing it for me either. The M340i leased very well ($640/56k sale) compared to the C43 coupe ($930/62k sale). Looking back, I could have leased an M3/M4 for that monthly payment. [/QUOTE]
Bro that's M5 money I know people leasing M4 comp packages for 690 a month. My C43 the msrp was 63k and it leased out for 560 a month for 4 years but I did put down like 4k to the cap cost (was 25 I didn't know better) the C43 coupe was 69k and the cheapest lease price I got was $690 (4 years). My2020 order on the M340 68k and my lease was $605 a month that order got canceled and I got a 2021 order same Msrp but I won't know the numbers until bmw releases the numbers for the 2021 on Monday or Tuesday I'm guessing it's going to be around 640 |

2011 Forester XT (big turbo swap, FBO, pro-tuned)
2010 E92 335i Dinan Stage 3, 6MT (Jet Black) 2017 M3 ZCP, 7spd DCT (Sakhir Orange) 2020 M340i xDrive (Portimao Blue) Coming from a F80 M3, the m340i is surprisingly close in terms of performance and feel. I would say the M3 is more sharp in feeling (handling, performance, sense of speed) relative to the G20. The G20 wins in technology and interior design (except for the M3 ZCP seats which were some of the best buckets i've sat in). G20 also wins in daily driving comfort since the ZF is more refined than the DCT, which could be a little jerky from a full stop. Before getting into the m340i, I was cross shopping between S5 sportback and C43 AMG. S5 definitely won in the looks department, but the steering lacked feel and engine/throttle response made the car feel really slow. The C43 had a good looking interior, but not a good feeling interior - seemed very hollow and plastic-laden. I also think that I6 engines just sound better than a V6 so BMW beat out the Audi and MB rivals. A few must have options that i think help make the m340i a better/special car: adaptive suspension and MPE.

currently a 2020 330. prior 3 years was a 230i convertible (F23) which was fun but not practical at times and this is the last year they are making it and didn't want identical car for 3 more years with no technology upgrades.
prior to the 230i i went thru 2 different 3 versions over 8 years. An E90 which was a really nice sounding engine (was totalled when some jackass literally drove over the top of me, but the bmw saved my life). then an F30 for 3 years which was pretty good but the turbo lag sucked when at a stand still. have to say, this new 3 is a really nice improvement all around. the E90 engine sounded nicer, but I feel like this model has same power and the tech, space (much bigger back seat), gas mileage, etc. is much improved. |

Yeah, stereo did sound pretty good. I checked out a G70 2.0t they had, but never drove because they couldn't find the 3.3t. Interior was pretty nice, but I think BMW really stepped up their game with the G20 interior.

I really like the look of the new G80 and GV80 (more of a 5-series and X5 competitor), but curious to see if these design elements trickle into the future G70 generations.

The M340i with HK is okay as long as your windows are up, but if you're riding windows down you really have to crank it to hear sound. I can't imagine what the car would sound like with a base stereo. Anyone have any feedback for the 5-series Bowers & Wilkins system? Wish they offered a super upgrade in our 3-series to the B&W system.
