First, I would go with the RS6 not RS7. I'm not sure, the RS6 is a beast but is also quite a bit more expensive but also holds its value very well. That alone would probably get me picking that over an M3/4. Strictly from a performance standpoint, I'd still go M3.

I've had the advanced drivers pack on my previous G20 M340i and similar thing on my RS5, and although it's very handy, I never used it. Plus I like the grill without the off-center radar box thing. Thanks for the nudge

Damn yea ACC package I would say personally would be a priority to me over carbon exterior but absolutely you gotta do what works for you best.

It's a nice to have for me. Maybe I'd want it more if somehow they integrated the radar box better. I really don't like the look of it on the grille (and the grille was already something that previously held me back from the M3).

True. I hate that look as well. Mine has it and I like having the option but the front definitely takes a bit of a beating for it. I am getting a Vorsteiner grille with mesh inserts installed in coming days to hopefully lessen that effect. Haha.

I ended up changing my mind on the last day before the order was being locked for production and decided to go with the Advanced Driver's Assist package. It was like $1,800 and although I don't use the stop and go function (and I don't like the radar box in the grille), I can see that I'd probably get the money back or at the very least more interest once I go to sell this thing in however many years. I know some people will dismiss it right away without the radar cruise. So now the only option box I didn't tick is the CCB's, but the order is locked and almost in production so no turning back now.

Thanks! You need to...it's pretty awesome! Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to get the M HAS kit as it came a bit earlier than expected. To be honest, the rear is perfect for me already so I may just do the Eibach pro kit springs in the front. Or the KW HAS kit...haven't decided. It's funny, I measured the stock height from the ground to the front lip (at the corners and in the middle) and the M3 sits EXACTLY (to the mm) as the RS5. The biggest difference though is the RS5 at stock height has a "two finger" gap at the front wheel whereas the M3 is almost 4 fingers! It's like a 4x4. Lol

One very minor gripe after having a 2020 M340i...what the hell happened to the quality of the key fob?? Looks the same, but it's all plastic now! The metal portion used to be, well, metal. Even the plastic parts felt better quality. Shame BMW, shame! Lol

Just found this thread over on the G20 side. Looks like the LCI went to a plastic key. https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1974071
