discussion Stepping out of my F80 for a G20 340i......good choice?

The traction that X-drive offers is crazy... and it doesn't feel like an quattro or 4Matic at all. They have made it somehow feel (in AWD sport anyway) like a RWD car with lots of grip as opposed to an AWD car (if that makes sense)

Glad you are satisfied with the choice!

Ok, few days with my 340i…..my views vs my F80.

1. Equal on performance without the drama, insane traction
2. 340 Exhaust note sound more classic BMW 6 cylinder….deep tones
3. 340i - Brilliantly smooth engine, the way it delivers power and accelerates almost doesn’t make sense…
4. Steering feel as numb as the F80
5. Brakes not as grabby as the F80
6. Looks understated …the F80 does look more aggressive
7. Interior on the F80 does look more special
8. Interior Tech and ergonomics as better on the 340

In summary, BMW has built a non track M3 for the robot warriors and I love it …no regrets
Congratulations glad to see you are happy!!! I got so tired of the F82 interior I just love the tweaks in the M340i :cool:

If I may sway from the sedan topic but this is very true, even in X form. You don't feel like you're in an SAV but rather a fast RWD car with brilliant grip. The SQ5 and GLC43 made a lot more drama on the launch.
