M440 options vs m340 options when ordering

P_Leotardo · 10-23-2021, 02:02 AM

I’m kind of upset as it appears the m440i can still be equipped with options like adaptive suspension, and it even gets this dynamic handling package, however when I placed my m340i order recently I couldn’t even get adaptive suspension (but I did get parking assistance). M440i also gets some other paint and wheel options. What gives. Why is the m440i so much more premium.

Costs more, in the UK.

They have to compensate for the giant nostrils.

Yes it costs more in the US as well. There is a premium for the X4/X6 and M variants versus the X3/X5 and M variants as well.

Compensate? It’s one of the biggest draws to the 4 series. 3 series is too bland.

Let's agree to disagree. But I'm most certainly happy that you find it appealing and have or going to have one.
I'm sure the Bavarians did their market research and figured out they have to keep the 3 for the conservative crowd.
The lack of adaptive suspension although I believe is only due to the shortages (when I configured mine it was still selectable) but there are other option that were never available in the 3. The 440 can get cooled seats, right?

I dont think 440 can get cooled seats?
I can't select power tailgate or ZPK for M440 but I can still select M adap suspension.
