Just as the title says, I’m looking to purchase a 340i with a manual. I was originally only interested in the x drive models because I’m buying this to daily and I live in the northeast. With that being said, there’s 2 mint condition loaded rwd models within a few hours from me that fall right into my price range. I’ve driven my fwd tl type s through many winters, and even made it through the past 2 on all season tires with no issue (which I’m not selling so I’ll have 2 cars). I also have a job that I am fortunate enough to work from home. Would buying a rwd be advisable as I also plan on tuning it and doing tasteful mods, nothing crazy. I’ve never driven a rwd 340 so I’m not sure how I’d like it over an awd one either. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
RWD requires less maintenance and is more efficient but AWD handles better in the snow.
