I'm between a used M3 (MY2016/17), used Alfa Romeo Giulia Quad (MY 2018), or waiting for the new M340i in the next couple months.

There's a great CPO 2016 M3 with 15k mi at my local dealer. Currently priced at 54k.

I've driven the Alfa and the BMW. Loved both but actually like the ride of the Alfa better. Wife wants me to get the Bimmer.

Thoughts on waiting for the new m340i are what I'm looking for. This will ironically be the most expensive route as well.

Thank you in advance ladies and gents...

what do you value more? comfort and tech, easy DD - then go with the normal 3 series.

if you like performance, tight ride, aggressive ride then get the M3

Not everyone wants an M car. I have plenty of friends who just dont want the M experience every day.

Like my Mom, she's a m340i buyer.

So the moral is if my Mom is comfortable in the car then I dont want it

get the M.
