Test drove back to back

And found m550 handled as good
No competition in acceleration
And no competition in luxury

I’m paying 875 for my 2020 m550 (taxes up front)

m340 didn’t make sense especially coming from a 440 mppsk + jb4 - which would destroy m340 stock imo

If I was north of 1k per month and less than 100hp difference then yes - easy decision

M550
-more luxury, I miss the multicontour seats.
-heavier, more disconnected
-I like the body style better than new 3 series.

M340
-More fun, I like the suspension more that the M550
-It has all the technology the M550 has and more.
-it feels faster or as fast as the M550, is like a smaller M550
-great suspension and exhaust
-better gas mileage and lower price
-I have more fun driving the M340 than the M550
-Almost as roomy as the M550, a little smaller inside.

Today, I enjoy the M340 more than the M550, I do not like the body style of the M340 as much, but I enjoy the $350 less per month.
