Very nice ride and nice vanity plate! Love the white leather with black dash!
I'm pretty sure someone with an M-car is now going to jump on the 'Mthsiast' version! |

Congrats! Love the color.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on comparing the M3 and 340i. I've always wanted an M3 (mostly an E9X) but don't know if I can justify having 2 cars, or if I can get approval from my wife for getting a weekend only car. I have an X5 now that works awesome for the commute but isn't fun at all. If I only have 1 car it has to be AWD and my only hesitation is whether I'll regret never holding out for a real M. What's your impression of the 340i and how fun it would be as an only car. |

Throw in a couple of mods and you won't feel the need for an M3
- JB4 for that increased torque we like - Make that chassis a bit stiffer and precise with a choice of suspension, ARBs, and lower control arms and you're good to go At least that's what I keep telling myself. And anyway it's difficult to justify the cost (85kEUR = 95kUSD base price here) and related depreciation, insurance, financing and pollution tax (+10kEUR upfront penalty on top of the brand new car in France next year) for a weekend car.

+1 for more pictures!
Do you have the adaptive suspension? I am looking for firsthand feedback about the combination of the adaptive dampers and H&R springs.
