I want a 3 series, especially m340i, but all the ones in my area are rebranded titles or very high mileage or huge seller markups and im now leaning towards b48? Am I missing out a lot? Will I regret my decision? Is it worth the extra 10-15k$?

    Not at all disappointed with the B48 for the daily family X3. It would probably be a little quicker in the 3 series, so I think you’ll be fine. It wasn’t worth the $15k to get an M40i X3 for us and I love torquey cars. Our X3 is plenty quick to shoot gaps in city traffic and combat bay area freeways. That said, it isn’t my performance car.

      Yeah, I have both a X3 B48 and 2018 340. Power difference is obviously night and day plus the weigh differential between the 2; however the X3 B48 is more than up to the task.

      We tested the X30 M40i but, since it’s my wife’s car, she preferred the 4 banger over the 6.
