340i Replacement Options
finding it hard to replace my 340i w/mppsk kit. Nothing seems to feel as good dare I say?
Recently purchased a range rover sport too as the new car, but can't bring myself to sell the 340i. Anyone else been torn on what to replace their b58's with? |

I've decided to keep my 440i. Only cars I would replace it with are well beyond my budget.

Same. M5 Comp is the only car I'm interested in replacing my F36 440i with.
Seems pointless to get a G<whatever> when its the same engine and uglier.

Been looking at M4’s but the price to change is ridiculous & they don’t sound as good, maybe I’m just so out of touch but I get the feeling I’m getting screwed on the part ex for mine so I’ve passed on the last 2 cars.
Arnold Clarke knocked off 5k on the value of mine because it was modified, modified with a genuine MPPSK fitted by BMW & it was the reason I bought the car in the first place, won’t ever step foot in that place again! |

Keeping the F32 440 for the foreseeable as i am in a similar position regarding what to replace it with.
An M4 would be the logical step up but it would need an extra £20k (+ increased annual running costs) to get me into one , for that sort of money (ish) i could be in a modern G series M440 with X drive and two years manufacturers warranty remaining. So just going to keep modding the coupe for the moment , next on the agenda are possibly Vland tail-lights / 6WB / Bootmod 3. K |

Decided I'm keeping my 400i as well. Looked at getting the M440i but buying a new car right now is a pain in the arse. As others have said the only cars I would really want to replace it with are out of my price range.
It will be 4 years old by the end of this year and is currently on 34k miles. To keep it 'fresh' I'm going to have a front splitter, side skirts and spoiler fitted (also want a difuser but can't find one at a reasonable price fitted). Also started looking at a tune and been in touch with DMS. I spoke to my insurance company about the engine mods and they said they won't insure me for it! |

Also an M3 xDrive Touring is on my dream car list, but it's just not within budget. I just hope they sell well so I can pick a used one up eventually.

Same issue for me nothing comes close to my 340i MPPSK and anything that takes my fancy is mad money M550i as I don't see the point in an m car (too fast for normal roads). Did look at a M340i but the cost to change is just mad for a car that's slightly faster than mine and doesn't sound as nice. The 340 stays for the foreseeable future.

I spoke to Adrian Flux and including mods they actually came back cheaper than my current premium. They're going to call back in 2 weeks and see if I can get the same deal. I have that time to decide if I'm going with DMS or not. |
