The biggest advantage of the M340i is it sips gas at 11-12 L / 100 KM despite the kind of power it has. Also, it can very well keep up with previous generation Ms. You can probably fully unleash it’s power on regular roads (at the risk of speeding tickets and dangerous driving). I don’t believe you get to fully unleash a pure M except on the track. At the same price point, between the G20 M340i and F80 M3, for regular use I’d go for the G20 340i. The M3 is more a long term care, passion car. However, against the S20 M3 - definitely better than the G20 M340i if you have the dollars.

G20

G20 would be the better long term value. Both are great. F80 I guess if stylin’ is priority numero uno.

Nice! … awesome aggressive look … which one is electric? ;)

I was lucky enough in my life to have almost all of the M3’s E30 E36 3.0 E36 3.2 E46 E92

I skipped the f80 and went to amg and then porsche. Back in the M again with a g80x. If you can stretch it, go for a g80x, if not, grab the f80 ( do suspension and alignment before you take it home ), and you will be happy.

M3 and it’s not even close.

But, if you can afford it, F82 M4 would be even nicer…

E30 m3 is still better

F80 for sure

Go look up how m340i x drive is faster off the line then a m3……. I bought a m340i cuz it’s way cheaper then a m3 but just as fast…… and I personally race m3 and m4 on highways and if I get the jump on them …… they can’t pass me …. The power isn’t that much of a difference…. M34o is really legit…… and the money I saved ……I pay 3000$ and unlock computer with a down pipe…. I’m faster for sure for sure…… I’m already beating them off the line stock …. Do your research….

M30 is too harsh of a ride for the roads here, so 340i for me.

Maybe if you can swing it go for a m3cs. The m340i definitely has more comfort and an awesome motor, but the m3 has even more precision, stability and top end power. It is a complete package in terms of performance.

Full M, a 40 is never as crazy as a full freaking M (G87 owner that went through that)

You can rev everytime you pass a 40 and you’ll see the face lol sorry

Come on man, there’s no competition. The old one is their best design since the e46

M3 100%

F80 M3 any day of the week, i mean it’s an M3
