There’s also way less lag in the acceleration.
You don’t drive like a bat out of helll to appreciate the m40i…even normal acccerlarion just feels better than the 30i.
IMO…the B58 engine makes it feel like BMW. The 30i feels like an Audi engine.

I test drove 30i only.... while it's not slow by any means, it just felt heavy... I had to step on it to make it go fast (or put in sports mode). I then went to test drive the Audi Q5 and right after driving off dealer lot, I immediately liked X3s driving dynamics more.... Q5 felt slower than 30i and not as nimble.
Without testing driving the M40i, I knew that's the one to get, which I did.... it's just so effortlessly smooth in accelerating. It's worth it over 30i IMO.
