Except the 403M But yea, BMW has never had the best taste in their OEM wheels. It's almost like they are begging their customers to buy aftermarket wheels.

Are you kidding? The steering feel and ride/handling has been bashed by the press and the enthusiast community since 2012. The availability of a true track handling package and the retuned hardware on the standard suspension are big changes. Hopefully these changes bring back the dynamics qualities BMW was known for.

Is the 340i the Mediterranean Blue? That is a beautiful color. I'm actually excited to see one of these at the dealer. The F30 isn't as sharp as the E90, but from the loaner cars I've driven I've always admired how it can flip from comfy cruiser to canyon cutter at the flip of a button. Great car for a commuter such as myself!

It looks like the exterior refreshments are pretty minor. But once you scratch the surface, the internal updates and dynamic enhancements are substantial. Powertrain, HUD, rev match 6MT, tweaked suspension steering, track packages, ...
Overall, I would be ecstatic if I were in the market for a 335i (oops ... 340i) right now! |

That's not correct. There is still a "no line"/"standard specification" model. The lines are not fundamentally changing. See page 11.

When does the G series come in. The LCI is 2016 MY, does that mean G series comes in as 2019 MY?
The non m sports look much better now and that B58 sounds really good from the videos

C&D states the sport line is standard on the 328i and 340i, which I would guess means the base line is available only on the 320i. I did not see anything in the official BMW release that stated it either way but maybe I missed it. |

The content of the previous Sport Line is now standard on 328i, 328d and 340i (including xDrive models) which features high-gloss exterior components including black kidney grills, black B-Pillars and a black high-gloss element on the rear bumper. The tailpipe trim is also in black chrome while high-gloss black finishers surrounding the air-intakes with aluminum-type decorative elements support the overall sporty look of the new BMW 3 Series. The Sport Line also enhances the look and feel of the interior by utilizing a sport instrument cluster with specific printing and chrono-scaling, an anthracite headliner as well as Sports Seats with side-bolsters. Now, no longer limited to the Luxury Package, the new 3 Series offers Saddle Brown Dakota Leather with dark brown highlights.
