330i next to M340i

andyberger87 · 04-29-2019, 08:51 AM

Just to give everyone some context on the ride height and rear diffuser differences.

The M340i is far more aggressive and really does stand apart from the lower-tier models now.

psuibmw · 04-29-2019, 10:21 AM

Yes

that M340 with these wheels are best

ar2020 · 04-30-2019, 01:39 PM

Wait, does that 330i have M sport package?

I think a better comparison would be 330i M sport package next to a M340i.

Unless, you own one, a common Joe out in the street wont be able to tell the difference.

Great pictures for comparison purposes though

I like the round exhausts much better but looks like the 330 in this photo is luxury line.

330i in this picture is Sport Line because it has high-gloss black "scrapers". Luxury line has chrome scrapers.

Only reason it’s more aggressive is because it’s not a 330i M Sport. It would be 99% the same otherwise.

needs spacers

Looks to me that the 330 is on a slight incline from a parking deck, which can explain the height difference? But I agree, if the 330 had Msport pkg the only difference would be the exhaust tips.

Actually the diffuser is a bit different on the M340i vs. the M Sport 330i. Same color, but the M340i is a bit more complex looking.

Just looking at the back of the G20 from these photos they just don't look like a BMW.

I think the front and sides are great and definitely a step up from the last generation.

Yes your right, haven't noticed that difference.
