Pretty sure my sons 340ix (it’s a 2017j was either $62k or $63k Msrp ... these cars can get up there in price but they really do offer a lot and they are pretty awesome. |

Consolidating? 340i AWD
Quote:
So the suspension on the track handling pack is the adaptive m suspension - same as the car I posted. The other differences are that track handling pkg came with Michelin pss tires on different wheels. Also had msport brakes and variable ratio steering (both of which could also be optioned on regular msport cars) |

I listed my Macan at an aggressive price. Let's see what kind of interest I get. |

I guess I don’t understand why you wouldn’t simply ditch the 535i and keep the Macan.

I was going to recommend towards finding an updated 550 x-drive or similar, but I'm guessing no stick /no sale.

Well and cost savings—the 3er he is talking about sounds like it’s about 10k cheaper than the Macan. Even after tax that’s a few grand in the pocket.
Plus I do think there’s something to owning one of the last manual AWD performance cars we’ll ever see. There’ll be plenty of time to buy fast automatic SUVs. By 2022 that’s all there wlll be. |

I wish there were a 340 wagon variant, but otherwise, it seems like a solid choice. I love my car and the specs are very close to the 3.
I also thought my E91 wasn’t very luxe—either from a soundproofing standpoint or interior quality. That seems to continue. The 2 is also pretty bare bones in that regard. Lots of hard plastics. |
