I went with M440i GC Xdrive over M340i Xdrive for three reasons:
I had a 2016 340i Xdrive so wanted a change. Headlights are important and only the M440i GC has laser lights as option. I need to order All Seasons and also prefer non-RFTs and a staggered set up. Only the M440i allows this. M340i...all reasons are RFTs and square set up. Also seems like the LCI M340i had some cost cutting...which has yet to hit the 2024 M440i GC X-Drive. |

1- m440i looks bloated and unimpressive from certain angles. Heck, almost all angles. It looks like a Camry from rear 45 degree angle, and like a Mustang from the side. Lets not even talk about the front (grille!). Overall, do not like the looks of the 4 series. 2- m440i rides noticeably softer, which is nice 3- Stock exhaust of of m440i sounds a bit louder than stock m340i 4- Rear seats on a m440i are definitely usable, but headroom is limited to people shorter than 6 ft 5- Front seats on m440i are roomier Side note: dravit grey paint looks cheapish and not very impressive. I dont understand all the hype. Overall, I prefer m340i. |

Great write up! Thank you.
I decided to take m340 over m440 GC. Just couldn't go over the front end. The back of the car looks phenomenal. |

My 6' wife fits fine and a lot of her length is in her legs. Obviously everyone's experience will be different and while my back seat passenger was fine others may feel too cramped. |

Even the AMG V8 could not get me past the chintzy design on the Merc. |

They don’t. These back seats are empty 90% of the time and when used are for our children, and there is plenty of room in both vehicles. |

Isn’t the 4 series essentially a 3 series with only two doors.
A 4 gran coup is a 4 series with 4 doors, that basically turns in into a 3 series. What am I missing? |

Basically, yes. Although tuned slightly different to be a little more comfy? Same chassis, same engine.

The hatchback alone is our reason to upgrade. We had several 3-series wagons in the past, and missed them dearly. In the absence of BMW bringing the 3-series wagon back to the US, the GC will have to do.
