If you conduct an A/B test with a group of people between M340i and F80, I'm 100% sure overwhelming majority would pick M340i. It's the better car in most objective and most needed measures, until G82 comes along.

We can agree to disagree, this is all subjective after all. But I doubt many enthusiasts would pick an M340 over the F82 M4.

I did love my e90 335i that I had many years ago, and the F80s I've had since, but the m340i is a great car too. it feels a tad bigger, a little less connected but still fun to drive and really quick. would recommend to a friend for sure.

For me, I got the m340i because I was tired of the harsh ride of the M3; it's not an easy car to live with on a daily basis. Yes, it's a great looking car, plenty fast and good handling. However, that's not every aspect of a car. I wasn't crazy about getting into a "regular" 3 series from a M car. But, the first time I sat in the m340i, I felt the age of the f80 interior. Then, when I drove the m340i, the harshness was gone - of course. It felt quick, but not brutally fast like the M3. Fast forward to 9 months later, after having replaced the OEM springs, changed the wheels and awful RF tires, it really is a great car. Honestly, it's plenty fast - almost as fast as the M3. Great interior- except for the digital dash (I don't understand the point of it, if you can't customize it). I feel the interior is better quality, as well. Again, the harsh ride isn't there, and it's quiet but not too quiet. Is one better than the other, in whole? I don't know...that's for each owner to decide. For me, I loved the M3 and I love the m340i. I don't regret trading in my M3. Of course, I miss some parts of it, but I miss some parts of the last 10 BMW's I've owned. Each one was special in it's own way. That's why we're all enthusiasts, here. |

To be fair, they did say "some of the old magic". Sounds like it still doesn't live up to cars of the past, but acknowledges there's a high standard to meet.

The F30 was supposed to be excellent—-but it was literally the worst BMW I've ever driven.
