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 was the opposite of you. Came from a 340i M Sport with the Track Handling package. I didn't have lane assist in either my 340i or any of my F80's so that's not a selling point for me. It's funny that you didn't like the harsh ride. I kept my 340i stock but I thought the suspension wasn't nearly as aggressive as I wanted it. If I had gotten a more aggressive suspension, the advantage of the 340i being not as harsh would be moot. I didn't have time to find out though, because after buying it new, I sold it after 3 months, took a bath, and got an F80. No regrets. Out of the box I STILL got aftermarket suspension on the F80, so obviously the softness and civility of 340i just wasn't for me.
