M340i delivered
Unfortunately, Covid hit my biz somewhat, and I got rid of two vehicles within five months - an F90 M5 2019 and an X4M C. Coming from those two vehicles, I am happy going into the M340i. BMW did a great job on this current 3 Series, and I will be saving a lot of money monthly. I must say that the F90 was and unbelievable car though. The X4M's issue was 11MPG!. I'm not cheap by any means, but 11MPG worse than my past M5. That I will not miss.

Sorry to hear that your business has been hit by the pandemic. I'm sure you will find yourself right at home with the M340i. It's not a huge "downgrade" by any means.

Bmw hit it out of the park with the M340i. Since it doesn't say M3 on the back people scoff at it. To me it is by far the best bang for your buck performance sedan. Bmw just did a terrible job at marketing it

Thank You guys for reassuring on the M340i. I test drove the car prior to getting it and thought it would be a good vehicle for me. I wanted to stay with BMW, as I have had them for years.

I meant in the context of having to sell your cars as a result of your business having a hard time...

Congrats, though I know this is bittersweet. I'm interested to hear your comparison of the F90 and G20. You get RWD or XDrive?

Never had the pleasure to drive the M340i but the M5 I did. No doubt that that the 3 is the better all day car with real world performance and real world money. But the M5 is so addictive...

Hope your business picks back up- I also own my own business and thankfully have weathered the storm pretty well so far but I know plenty who haven't.

Firstly, good luck with your business. Interested in your feedback on the X4M other than poor fuel mileage? I considered selling both cars and just getting an X4M (given it’s versatility) but ended up keeping our station wagon and getting the M340i as a second car. Sounds like I made the right decision.

Nice ride! I love that black and white. Also, hopefully your biz will be able to bounce back. These are some difficult times.
