The smoothness, power delivery, sound, steering (it's better but still not a lot of feedback) & ride quality (might be RFT vs PSS).
The 328i was more jerky in sport mode. My wife noticed the 340i is a much smoother the moment she sat on it. The sound makes huge difference even with stock exhaust. The 328i was plenty fast, the 340i is VERY fast!

Did a moderate acceleration at the red light. 0-40, pulled like a rocket! One thing I noticed that I kind of miss the adaptive headlight from the 328i. It's most noticeable on the highway ramps. It's nice to have adaptive light but I wouldn't want to pay $900 extra for it.

Congratulations!
I'm not familiar with US packages but do you have M adaptive or M Sport suspension? Either way, I'm super surprised how high the car sits given its a RWD car. My 428i GC had a much smaller wheel gap (it had the M adaptive suspension)

i've been lenient on the brakes...I did the same on the E90. I had adaptive on E90, so I got it again.

It has M adaptive. I think might be the angle.

Nice car!
I picked up the same BBS SR winter setup from TireRack due to arrive in early January. Are you changing out the BBS center caps with BMW logos? I think 56mm logos + blank caps from eBay might work. |

What tire did you get for winter? I got the WS80. Even though the reviews said it's dry handling is much improved I still find it kind of funky. Can't wait to get back on the PSS in April.

I just ordered a set of WS80 tires a couple days ago; what do you mean they're funky?

Exactly...I'm on Michellins X-Ice XI3. Steering feel was off/funky with them..not as tight with MPSS...I thought I was hallucinating..
