I always considered the F80 to be one of the worst M3s ever made. Love the design of course, but most reviews for the F80 generation lauded its styling and power, but considered it sterile and its steering feels nonexistent. This is something I noticed as well when I had the chance to drive one for a week. The G80 M3, while aesthetically polarizing, is considered a better return to form from a driving dynamics perspective.

All that said, I’d go for the m340i if it were me choosing a daily.
