Congrats on the new car, and thanks for the excellent write-up.

I also had a E90 335i (2007), and the G30 540i is just better in every regard. You mentioned it's nimbleness, and I have to agree. It is surprisingly good, but not a surprise to be honest. If you go on licensing mass, the 540i, not x, is surprisingly light, just under 1600kg to be exact. Even though I bought it mainly for it's unmatched ride quality, I do enjoy it on twisty roads.

My lease will be up next year August, and currently there is no other car I would rather replace it with. I am still to test drive a M340i, but after reading your impressions of it, I reckon it will be a pointless exercise.
