[@madpistol]

One of the things I love about this car is exactly as you said in the video. If you just drive it normally, it feels completely average and un-inspiring. As soon as you push it past about 5/10, it comes alive, and the character of the car becomes playful. BMW engineers pulled off some magic in that regard; it's comfortable in most cases, and playful when you want it to be.

[@M_773]

Personally the E90 is my favorite since the E46, and the last 4 series was quite nice. I haven't really liked their other designs

[@BinaryBlueBull]

Agreed, with one additional personal preference remark: I do not like the new daylight running lights. I think they should have stayed with full circles but to modernize them a bit, I found the circles to be so distinctive for BMW, truly unique and instantly recognizable. The new ones lose a bit of that distinctiveness. Apart from that and your remarks, 10/10 car

Mitch’s M340i I have always dreamed of having an M3. I bought M340 when it came out, I have had it now for 16 months now. It puts a huge smile on my face every time I drive it and you know what I don’t want an M3 anymore. This one even in comfort is right on the edge of being to stiff for me. The M3 is punishing. Maybe I am just getting old but but this is the Goldilocks car for me. I put it in comfort and it is a normal 3 series. I put it in sport+ and it’s a beast. The actual 0-60 on this stock is under closer to 3.8 seconds, check out all the car magazine reviews. With a 800 tune this thing will easily get another 50 HP and closer to 3 seconds. The only reason I would need an M3 is to have an M3. But that is just me. Oh and have you seen that grill on the M3?!. I will keep my M340 if the day comes it’s not fast enough I can spend $1500 on a tune and downpipe and add a bunch of power.

[@ShockwavesFTW]

I couldn't agree with you more, the appeal of an M3 is diminished a lot by just how rough it is. The M340 is the best of both worlds and is the perfect daily. That being said, the new G80 M3 is much, much more comfortable than the F80 M3. That would be the perfect car if it wasn't for the grille.

[@tee2x965]

I agree with some of your points but it’s more than just straight line speed those M3s handle a lot better

[@MitchM240]

@@tee2x965 I would not say a lot better, they handle better yes. The M340 is not just the bigger engine it has M brakes and M tuned suspension. The 10% better the M3 handles you will never feel aside from on the track. No those seats in the M3 DAMN those a e sweet!

[@gregsimpson9391]

I love this review. No bullshit and honest. I love the sound already! My M340i touring is on the water as I write on its way to NZ. White with black - including the grill!! This sort of review really validates my choice (not that I needed to). We get 382 bhp here (285kw) - a nudge more power. What a machine.

[@gregsimpson9391]

@RichJW This motor and transmission are simply sublime. Its as quick an an RS 4 to 100 but is much lower key - I like that.The new M3 touring is going to be an absolute stunner - too quick for me. So if I ever change my M340i touring I will just increase the leather - its got everything else. I think many people just dont realise how good this 3 series is. I have had audis for years - and they're good. But this unit is a step up.

I’ve had mine for 8 months. It’s the most complete, all round excellent sports sedan I’ve ever owned. Spectacular performance, comfort and economy too. On a run it’s nearly 500 miles on a tank. And when you want to throw it into a corner and use the LSD to power you out, or drop the gears and out accelerate a car that already at motorway speed while merging on a short on-ramp, you can do that too. It’s such a sleeper too. Just enough presence without being shouty.

@12:12 you're so right, heavy steering doesn't equal feel. BMW used to know that (E36, E39 for example), but lost it's way in that respect in the last decade or so. My Jaguar XF 3.0SC has much better steering feel than my BMW 330i (G20). It's both lighter and more fluid, yet tells you much more about what's going on. In most other respects the BMW chassis is superior, on smooth roads at least.
