Default Here's my new Beamer

Here is the new 340i m sport next to my is350 F sport. I have only been driving the 340 x drive for a couple days now. What I can say is the cars are really different. The overall mean look of the 350 can't be beat. The clean look of the bmw and the drive is also something special. Remember there is a 14 grand diffrence between both cars the way they are optioned out.
