Side note... $60K for a 330i?!

What will the M340i cost? $70k??

I know cars are getting expensive, but man... We aren't far from a regular M3 being $90k.

BMWs keep costing more and the driving experience keeps decreasing, I wouldn't be surprised if the next M3 hits $100k. i'm sorry there are better driving alternatives out there.

Actually, BMWs don't cost more than their competition, and driving experience is not decreasing, and there isn't better driving alternatives to G20, G30 within their classes

Our fully optioned out 2018 Audi S4 Prestige was $66k sticker. Not much more than than this 330i. So yeah I bet the M340i will definitely cost more than at least 1 competitor.

Fully optioned M340i can be bought around the same $66k sticker, despite M340i being much newer and much better car than the VW. If you look at the ordering forum, the price of M340i is out there, it's not a secret.

M3 can already hit $90k and the m340i pricing is already out. If you haven’t heard of inflation you might want to look that up too.

When the F30 came out it was love at first sight. The G20 is one ugly beast. The headlights are nasty looking. The rear doesn't know what it wants to be. I hope the LCI fixes the tooth gap in the headlights and they completely redo the rear lights.....but most likely ain't happening.

M3 hits $90K with options, I was thinking more the base price.

I'm not buying one so more power to those who will pay $60K for a 330i.

Here is a comparison to the G20 330i M Sport and my F30 340i M Sport. Nice to see the difference between Portimao and Estoril Blue as well. Really loving Portimao Blue.
Back - new one looks way better, particularly placement of the exhaust outlets

Front - new one is not my cup of tea, just looks boring, less sporty and the grills are ugly

Love the new blue colour though - my F36 is Estoril and I'd swap the colour in a heartbeat for that Portimao

They gotta do something with those kidneys and the window blinds behind them. LCI will probably fix that

BMW has a long history of partially clear tail lights. Especially in their European market cars. You're just making stuff up now.

This is a 330xi with pretty much every option. The car increased in price by about $1500, I think, compared to the F30. Yes that is a healthy jump, but it's not ridiculous.

So can you show me a comparison that G20 or G30 lose to any car in their classes in terms of driving experience?

F30 front end much better. More aggressive and sharper. Not bulbous as many have already mentioned.
As far as the new Portimao Blue. Saw one in person in normal daylight conditions; and there is definitely an undertone of purple in that colour. If people think the F30 is dated already...

This car is that good.

Not everyone wants a M-Car.

If the Series-Car is great, expect the M-Car to be spectacular.

Clearly some people can't read sarcasm... Forget it. I'm not the target audience for this car anyway...
