The Club Sport is at the dealer for its annual service, and my service advisor gave me an M340i xDrive for a loaner.
First impressions:
It's maybe a tick faster than my 2 Series, but the xDrive filters the fun too much for my tastes. That said, I scared a friend quite a bit accelerating through a corner flat out when he thought I was going to lift and brake.
Fuel economy is very good considering the performance; I averaged 35 mpg driving to work.
I like the interior a lot- including the glass cockpit.
The latest generation of iDrive is excellent, but it's considerably different from what I'm used to.
The voice recognition works quickly and accurately.
The base sound system is surprisingly good. I'd still want to audition the H-K upgrade, but the standard system is no slouch.
The car is a bit too big for my tastes, but it does mask its bulk to an impressive degree.
An M240i with the M340i cockpit, 382 hp motor, and M Sport diff would be just about perfect for me.
