I was just poking around looking at how much Rs were being discounted. Aside from the sameness to the previous one, it is probably the best car for the money out there. The sameness might keep me away, though. |

Here's a Carlos Lago video review of the M235i (N55 engine), which is a little behind the performance of the current M240i (B58 engine).

I think you might be surprised at how different the new one is from the old.

How about a Cayman r?
For a sporty four door, Audi S4 would likely be my pick. |

I'd go M240i over 340i... if you have to have 4 doors, the 340i probably works. I have a couple friends with the F30 328i and 228i. They like their cars a lot.
If you're looking at other marques, what about the Jaguar XE... is that still a thing? |
