However, when we race I will take the M3. You can pick any other 3 series you want since it is basically the same set of parts.

Why is this front page? This has been going on for 2 years now. BMW started doing it when Merc started with their fake AMGs

my question is this going to change pricing? Will they increase the price of the m340 to be similar to the base m3? and move the base me up in price?

Let's hope not, to get an inline 6 in a BMW the price is already pretty steep. Base M3 will likely increase with next generation.

If they are going to call it M then the M340i should be wide body. I love that look on the M3. Something like the WRX (non STI) and Corvette Grand Sport. Slower versions of the top car but maintain the look.

The traditional M buyer from years past are not the same M buyer today.
M buyers of today remove the summer spec tires to put on all seasons... Don't even get me started on that. |

Don't you know, you need to have taken apart at least 3 BMW engines in your life to qualify as an SME of BMW brand nomenclature.

"Real" M owners must be pissed. Can't say didn't see it coming. This goes along the way that everyone is a winner.

Regarding dropping "performance" from the name, I always called the m340i an "M340i" Has anyone called it an "mperformance340i" before because I don't think we ever did but who cares. Everyone's still gonna know it doesn't have bespoke parts.

The real question remains.....will m340 model be under "3 series" in here or "M3" forums on here.
I bet it stays under the regular models

This is how BMW is taking China badge manufactures out of business. Lmao...
We all know who will defend BMW's move and who would not. "True" enthusiasts will most likely move away from BMW, not because of this move but because of what BMW has been doing since they went forced induction. Current ///M cars don't have the DNA true ///M cars had during the glory days. This is my opinion based on having the opportunity to own several ///M cars in different chassis. It's marketing and it works. There are a tons of people out there who are waiting to purchase a M package car and say they have an M, however those who had real M's have transitioned to a Porsche. |

M'xyz' and M'x' names are fine but why competition or CS versions ?
Make Mx a complete M car from beginning instead of slapping that stupid competition under the badge |
