I don't think the price difference between say 340i and 440i is particularly big?
Superior in what way? Obviously there is the 2 door vs 4 door question, which immediate rules out the normal 4 if you need 4 doors, then it's 3 vs 4gc and it's all down to personal taste. The touring is definitely more practical than the GC and the saloon is 150kg lighter, so superior in every way from a driving dynamics point of view.
