I'm sure 20 inch 666m are worse, but I've ridden in a f30 340 and F8x extensively with varying wheel sizes. Apart from that theres zero reason to get an f30, except awd, and marginal suspension improvement. F30's ride mediocre , on the 19 inch setup especially
My F80 on comfort with 19" wheels was much harder with excessive road noise, compared to my 340i Msport ,the cold weather certainly made it worse.

Don't get me wrong I loved the F80, but here in the Uk winter and rain (most days it rains) it did feel pointless, maybe in a couple of years I might go back to a manual F80
A 6MT F80 on OEM 18's and performance all Season is damn near perfect balance.

I was in bumper to bumper traffic the other day for about 20 minutes; I felt like I was in an EV; until traffic cleared lol🦅
