Need advice from long-term M340i owners
Hi all,
I'm seriously thinking of ordering a brand new M340i before production of the current G20 ends, but I'm still undecided. A bit of background: over the years I've owned three different 3 Series generations, so I've always loved the platform. About one year ago, after my son was born, I switched to a new Volvo XC60 because I wanted to try something different, more practical and family-friendly.
I actually like the Volvo. It's comfortable, elegant, quiet and does everything really well. So this isn't a case of replacing a car that I dislike.
The problem is that I keep thinking about BMW and the fact that it may be one of the last opportunities to buy a brand new 3 Series with this engine... it keeps pulling me back.
For those of you who own an M340i:
Do you still enjoy it after months or years of ownership, or does the excitement wear off?
If you have kids, has it been practical enough as a family car?
Is there anything about the car that disappointed you after living with it?
Would you replace a perfectly good car with an M340i?
I'd really appreciate honest opinions, especially from long-term owners.
Thanks!
