Definitely Sporty, not sure about the “Luxury”

I drove a 2020 BMW 330i X-Drive from Michigan to Florida (10 day trip in it)(around 2500 miles driven) My thoughts: take away the awesome power train and then the car seems like a Toyota Corolla LE on steroids! Well A better handling one. My biggest gripe is the harsh ride on Michigan / Ohio roads, construction zones or anytime the roads get bumpy. Maybe the added option of the M-Adaptive suspension would of helped with this. The ride is too harsh over bumps to have passengers being jarred - for a four door “sedan” This makes me wonder, well whom did BMW actually engineer this vehicle for ? The journalist of car and driver magazines or someone who buys a four door sedan to remain practical in everyday driving and utility. It’s more of a sports car in my opinion - a hooligan of a car to place a huge grin on your face as you indulge in a spirited drive to work or whatever errand you have to run solo. Place your loved ones in the back seat or your trusty dog 🐶 and they will stare at you In disappointment as the are jarred around in the rear seats when the roads get bumpy. If you live and transverse a smoothly paved rural road everyday then this is the car for you. A little more wind and road noise enters the cabin then should for a vehicle sold in the luxury category. The “leather-like” seats are comfortable and supportive but not ventilated unless you add that option which You should, vinyl does not breathe like genuine leather, my back was hot and sweaty after some time in the saddle. Disappointed the seats do not have a premium leather feel. The sun visor flaps look and feel cheap, as well so the visor mirror. The plastic used in the lower door molding trim feels mediocre and average. Inside the cockpit feels long and narrow, plenty room for front seat occupants to stretch their legs, at the expense of rear occupants leg room. On the freeway, I felt I had to use too much energy and focus keeping the car steered steadily straight in “comfort mode” at times I would swerve a little out the lane and then the lane guidance would intervene and shake the wheel and communicate to the passengers that I was a terrible driver lol. The regenerative brakes were somewhat jerky at lower speeds and I had to really try my best to finesse the brake pedal to keep the passengers from experiencing the motions of an abrupt stop. The speedometer tablet screen and center entertainment tablet screen was nicely done and had plenty of options and gadgets. I liked the sports mode screen which shows the horsepower, torque, boost psi and g’s being experienced ! The rear end collision alert did not keep my from backing into a shirt 3 foot pole in the ground, I clearly did not see. BMW did an excellent job with the power train, plenty of power going up hills and mountains, and for spirited driving. Exhaust sound from the turbo four is wicked. The car pulls hard and places a huge grin on faces when asked too, and capable of averaging 35mpg on the freeway, well done! The standard speakers could sound better, they don’t sound bad at all, they just don’t sound any better then any non luxury car in 2020, which is really the way I feel about the entire car. Metaphorically The car fails to pulls its self ahead of the pack of “average cars”. When you start adding in the additional options and the cost Is now 20 grand more then base cost.. and you still don’t have a luxury vehicle comparable to a Range Rover... it makes me wonder what this cars purpose is.... I prefer something with a more compliant comfy ride and cooled perforated seats as “standard”.

There are a lot of space for price in your negotiation and the financing rate as well.

The M340ix is a joy to drive and is also very easy to live with day to day. The seats are comfortable, the heads up display is fabulous, and the car is a joy to drive. You point it where you want to go and it just goes. 0-60 in 3.8 seconds...this car has torque and horsepower for days. Put it in sport and enjoy carving up mountain roads or flooring it on the straights.
