I used to have a G20 330e that I absolutely loved, but the only thing that I didn’t like was the PHEV system and how it made me lose 100L of boot space and 20L of my petrol tank.

Unfortunately I had an accident last year in it and was wrote off.

Nevertheless the overall car was absolutely fantastic, and I was going to get another 3 Series without the PHEV system. But then I had to cancel it due to a parts shortage.

Opted for an Audi A5 (sorry for swearing on this sub) and it’s a really nice car but it feels so bland and boring compared to my BMW and I miss it dearly.

Though I’d love xDrive but unfortunately they no longer build this onto the regular 3 series’ in the UK. But they do on the M340. But I also massively prefer the styling on the M340 and I’ve been wanting one for ages.

My business has had a really good couple of months and I’m debating treating myself to a company car and would love to join the BMW club again. But I just question whether or not I need so much power, or if it’s worth being a daily driver.

The power makes me nervous, as it’s over 100bhp faster than my 330e and even that was a lot.

I’ve watched a lot of videos where people have said it’s a fantastic daily, and the MPG does look fairly decent for a car of its type and power. But I’m just questioning this?

    M340 is a great daily driver. Surprisingly fuel efficient when you drive like a normal person and not like an a-hole. Nice to have the extra power when needed but very mature and refined.

      It’s still surprisingly fuel efficient even when you drive like an a-hole. I was driving fairly inefficiently varying engine loads and RPMs for the break in period and still averaged 27 MPG doing that. If I focus on fuel economy, the number gets much higher. The only thing fuel-wise significantly more expensive than my boring car is having to put in premium.
