I absolutely love the 340i, so smooth, powerful, quiet, and the MPPSK gives the best of both worlds, I couldn’t be happier, my M3 was fully loaded and I do miss the surround view, lane assist and other options but I’m really happy, hopefully I’m not the only convert, be interesting to see if others have done the same.

I think that’s fair, no doubt the 340 is a better daily. I think a lot of people have gotten into Ms without realizing what they were signing up for and are ultimately would have been more happy with a regular BMW. A big part of it is the whole “M car” clout that people chase or are talked up about which blinds them from seeing that a “normal” BMW is the better choice for their intended use. Not saying any of that is you specifically, more that a large portion of F8X owners are casual types who are only in them because it’s an “M car” and not the right car.
