i think it's a no-line or luxury line as the window is chromed. and yes, looks like just a sticker

It was a "demo/loaner" model, spec'ed by the dealer, kind of mix and match. it has the side decal and spoiler, but not the front lip thing.

it does not have the M Perf package.

On the plus side, I walked into the dealer, and 2 hours later, drove out in this 340.

I went on a 400+ mile drive today. Some thoughts:

The overtaking power is amazing. Flick the car to the left lane, twitch my foot, 70-100+ in a blink, flick back to the right lane, jam the brakes.... in the 320 this move always took a bit of effort, and was not quick. I could overtake, but not dominate. The 340 has dexterity.

I can't imagine what this would be like in an M3 or M4. More precise and more immediate, I guess. A knife can always be sharper. But the 340 does not disappoint, where the 320 did.

One stretch of rolling Wisconsin hills - no oncoming cars as far as the eye could see. I pushed the gas pedal half way. Speed easily reached 114 mph, and I let off to coast back down. The 340 felt very stable and poised and wanted to go faster but I like not being in jail. By contrast, the 320 @ 110 felt OK but a little nervous and bouncy. (114 mph is my personal new land speed record, and no, i do not plan on making a habit of it.)

Launch Control is fun. Worked the first time. I absolutely love the sound + song of the B58 @ 6000 rpm. And it's so smooth!
