I’d like to buy either an M440 or M340. I went to the dealer today and looked at a blacked out 2024 M340 special edition with tacora red interior. Car looks really sporty.

Talking to the sales guy, he’s like have you considered a 5 series - it may for your style a little better. I took it to mean you’re too old for the sporty 3 series.

I’m 38 years old, is that too old for an M340 or M440? I do need to look professional for work in front of clients, so I’m concerned they might think I’m an old guy in a young guys car. Thoughts appreciated!

    I’m 66 and just bought a 2023 240 Xdrive. I’m buying a new M4 next year.

    Appreciate the comments! I too thought he was just up selling but the M340 was like $71 and the 5 series was just under $75.

    Imma go with my gut and get the 3 series. Thanks again!

    HA - I’m about that age and just bought an M2 (after an A90 supra), get the car you want, don’t listen to them if that’s not what you want.

    Didn’t know there were age limits on Bimmers. I’m 51 and drive an F22 M235i. I don’t want a bigger car, your salesman sucks.

    To be fair to the sales guy, he was super nice. Told him I have kids and he brought up the 5 series as being a bit bigger. Again, appreciate the comments!

    Nah… I’m about 50 and drive an M240 and will upgrade to an M2 next year.

    The 5 series is for people 70+
