Well, i currently have an F30 3 -series and a 2018 M550i. They are 2 completely different cars... Granted, my 3 is not the new Gen. (It's a 2014). The 3 is smaller and more "tossable", but not nearly as comfortable, luxurious or well built. These notes should be a given... The M550i is better in every way - including spirited driving on hilly, twisty roads. I have yet to find it's limit. The M550 is just planted and solid, and the power is intoxicating. I went from a 550i, to a 535i and regretted every minute - unitl I got back in to the M550i. The 3 is, no doubt, a good car - probably doubly so for the new M340i, but I much prefer the 5, evidenced by the fact that I have put 37K miles on it in 13 months. It has been flawless.
