I agree there are odd style embellishments, best way to put it. I don't think it looks all that bad. Not that distinct but not bad. It does look large on the outside but did not feel very different on the inside from my own car. I drove my car to a G20 event at Meadowlands, took 2nd place out of 25. All the G20's were 330, RWD, m-sport, track package and a nice dark blue. The 4-cyl responded very well, much better than f30 328i, but I haven't driven the f30 330i. It wasn't a quantum leap over my LCI 340i. I didn't notice a steering feel difference. It may have "sat" a bit better on tarmac, but that's the slightly lighter nose as well (rwd/4-cyl) as opposed to my awd.

I'm happy I'm in one of the last manual 340's.
