M3 for sure. My m340i was fast with a tune but it just wasn’t fun at all and didn’t feel special. I only kept it a few months. If you want a comfy cruiser that rips in a straight line the m340i is a good option but if you want a car that feels special when you drive it, and looks special. Definitely m3

Lol you BMW drivers, buy your bimmers and act like badasses but you don’t even want to pay for full synthetic oil changes, cheap ass pricks.

Life is too short man, M3 all day

I don’t know how is it with M340, but when I had to choose between G05 X5 M50i and G05 X5 M Competition I went with the M50i as you get much comfier suspension and seats and the performance difference is not really noticeable.

M3

Neither. Find a clean E90 or earlier car for a more fun/engaging car.

i mean if youre looking at this level of performance you might as well go all in with the M3… otherwise its a little like collapsing just before the finish line

Not sure how much you plan on driving it, but I’ve put 7K miles on mine in six months and love it. Best car I’ve ever driven and more than enough power for my needs, but your needs may be different

Only way to have no regrets is to go M3. If you get the 340 you’ll always be left wanting more.

F80

A test drive on both.

The obvious answer here is a 997.2 Carrera S.

Objectively: M3 I prefer the 340, I just like the looks better and wouldn’t care much about the performance difference. M3 would surely win that department though. It only takes a downpipe and tune to bring up the B58 anyways lol.

The 3’s aren’t like the 5’s when it comes to the full M or M-sport. I test drove both and there’s a significant difference between them. I’d go M3.
