After owning Camry and accord this is a breath of fresh air. Comfort, drive and handling all superior to what I am used to. Exterior and interior style is superb.

I've had the car for three weeks now, so I did not have the luxury of stepping on the gas to see how quickly it picks up and runs (that is why I gave it 4 stars). However, I like the features of the car which I have been enjoying, I also like the fact that I am six-foot-two, 220lbs, and the car fits me like a glove.

Admittedly, I’m getting into this car after owning a 2013 335i Xdrive for 6 years and I LOVED that car. Stage 1 tune on it as well. I was not expecting this car to be THAT much more of an upgrade, but it is!! Styling, handling, agility, comfort, technology and more is just off the charts in comparison! I even test drive an M550 to compare, and while it was nice, it just didn’t handle or have the agility or performance of this car. Highly recommend!

M power without the $90k pricetag

Hi all, I have a 2020 BMW M340i and I am shocked with the so called "cons" people have. I guess it's all opinion but I've owned many BMW's, Mercedes AMG's, Infiniti's, etc. All higher power sports sedans and I will say that the M340i checks all boxes. Great styling, Great Tech, Tons of power and the ability to add more power (tune), $30k less than an true M car and honestly only .2 -.4 seconds slower to 60 that a RWD M3 comp. Is the extra 30k worth it? Not sure but I am a fan of the entire brand but I will say depending on when you buy, spending over $60k for this car makes no sense. I targeted 1 year old (still new on the lot and RWD) and paid $51k, all in. With that price, there is NOTHING even close that compares. The ONLY con I have for this car is I could not match the RWD to a manual transmission. This car with RWD is begging for it.
