    New 3s

    Brought my 15 335xi in today ( issues in a another post) and while waiting tested an M340i xdrive and got a 330i for a loaner.

    It was raining, but the M340 pulls like a beast and handles better than my 335ix, the extra 80( vs my 335) ponies really show up. The G series has tightened up the rear end so it feels like they've addressed the F series handling issues complaints we've all heard.

    Got a 330i for a loaner and liked the handling on the way home. Did pull to the side when the xdrive hit a seam in the road in the wet. Strange but not bad.

    Both have even more damn buttons than my 335 but the virtual gauges and NAV are impressive. The rear view camera has better resolution than my 46in flat screen or seems so. Liked the brakes

    I think I'll be looking at CPO M340 in a few years. They did real good

    OK, I the weird pulling was the Lane Departure Nanny which I may have to turn off immediately.

    I do most of my driving on curvy country roads, and like many of you I try for a good line when "hustling" I touch inside and outside of the lanes.

    I'm too old for this stuff
