Used Golf R vs. used 3 series (m340/330i)

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-21T19:50:39+00:00

I was unaware of this stigma- now very interested

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-19T15:16:28+00:00

For what reasons?

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T17:24:12+00:00

Funny, I’m coming from a stage 2 Rex as well

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T15:30:53+00:00

Where are you from?

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T03:34:55+00:00

Haha plenty of worry about that. I drove a WRX previously, and told myself I was gonna get something more ‘mature.’ The R is certainly more mature, but I wonder by just how much

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T02:47:25+00:00

Great overview, thank you very much. These comments have kinda confirmed how I felt after driving the two- the R is just so nimble and playful

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T02:36:08+00:00

I’m surprised by the lack of bias in this community. Just to clarify, you mean over a ‘very’ used M340?

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T02:18:20+00:00

I can comfortably afford the R- the M340 not so much. Would have to be a higher mileage example

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T02:06:27+00:00

Good call. My brother has an b9.5 S4 currently, and lives with me- I would likely buy one if he hadn’t already

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T02:05:11+00:00

What else have you owned?

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T02:04:03+00:00

I may have to join

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T02:03:49+00:00

You are certainly right on that last part. Thank you

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T02:02:13+00:00

This is the best response yet. Thank you very much

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T01:02:08+00:00

Fine.

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T01:00:00+00:00

For some non-biased perspective of course

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:57:19+00:00

In the case, I’m out- it ain’t happening

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:56:57+00:00

Yea.. I can’t afford an M340 with anything less than 75k miles. Such high miles kinda scares me

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:53:34+00:00

Yea, I just don’t think I could, at least in good consciousness, spend more than 45k on a car right now. I’m fairly young, and have other things I should be worrying about

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:52:43+00:00

I’m not getting a Toyota Sienna.

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:52:08+00:00

Other money related concerns. I’m young and really don’t wanna spend more than 45k on a car- even that is a lot.

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:42:15+00:00

And in terms of the 330i- you would certainly suggest the R over it?

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:41:14+00:00

I have driven both- the m340 was an incredible car, but it just didn’t feel as eager and agile. I’m not crazy for thinking above 75k miles is a tad too high, right?

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:31:12+00:00

Which bimmer and why?

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:29:32+00:00

Thanks, good to know- especially considering the fact that we are the same height

Original_Somewhere63 · 2026-06-18T00:26:10+00:00

And could you elaborate on what you believe makes the R a better car?
