Just as the title says, I’m looking to purchase a 340i with a manual. I was originally only interested in the x drive models because I’m buying this to daily and I live in the northeast. With that being said, there’s 2 mint condition loaded rwd models within a few hours from me that fall right into my price range. I’ve driven my fwd tl type s through many winters, and even made it through the past 2 on all season tires with no issue (which I’m not selling so I’ll have 2 cars). I also have a job that I am fortunate enough to work from home. Would buying a rwd be advisable as I also plan on tuning it and doing tasteful mods, nothing crazy. I’ve never driven a rwd 340 so I’m not sure how I’d like it over an awd one either. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I had an X drive 335 and then got the rear wheel drive 340 which comes with the 704 M sport suspension and significantly improves the driving experience, in my opinion. Including the shift from the N55 to B58, true night and day difference. Only reason I got rid of that car was to move to the F80. Still love the 340 and keep in touch with the new owner, great car. Tommy L daily drove his F80 in the snow, so it can happen.
