Another upgrade I recently did was forged wheels from Apex, did a 19x9 square setup with 255/35-19 tires, greatly helped handling.

The M240 I bought off the lot has the all season square setup. I plan to get a set of summer wheels eventually. Will keep an eye out for a PB. I have seen a Brooklyn Gray Metallic M240 in NKy where I live, but that is it for this generation.
We have bought our last 5 BMWs from this dealership and have had good experiences so far. They definitely give better trade in values.

Mine came with the all season square setup as well. Plan to use those wheels for winter tires in the fall. I’ll keep an eye out for the Brooklyn Gray as I’ve wanted to see that color in person. Good to hear about this dealership, will probably buy our next from them as my fiancée is considering an M340 so we will probably need to order to get what she wants.

The dealership currently has a Brooklyn Gray M240 x-drive if so inclined.

The reliability factor of the B58/ZF would carry huge weight for me if i was deciding between the two. For what you get with each car at the price, the M240 punches above its weight class.

You should take the one that is not based on a Seat shopping car with an anvil placed way out front and hang-on, front-biased AWD.

This is true but let's remember that the shopping car has 5 doors, 5 usable seats and a bigger trunk

…and a better interior.
However, IME, you need to be short and very angry to own one

The Audi is very small for a German car. I am 6'2 - 195lbs and its difficult to get in and out of for me. Had an A5 years back and that style is just old and tired. Even the neon paint doesnt help. BMWs just have better room and are better cars to me.

So? Step up to an M340 or M3 touring then. M340 is probably cheaper, too.

I drive a 540 touring but could have made an M2 work if I really wanted to (with one kid).

I would never give a cent to VW again. Their entire profit model is creating one chassis and making countless models out of it under four brands. Overpriced and underengineered.

This is race between a stock RS3 vs racechip M240i rear wheel drive. Watch till the end and interestingly, the stock tune (racechip off) is actually faster than on. I remember there were some posts which people on jb+/jb4 who mentioned turning the boost up too much will actually hurt performance.
