The M40i (B58) engine is absolutely excellent and I would continue to buy BMWs just for this engine alone. So much power and somehow also so much fuel efficiency (considering the 382hp, in the sedans/coupes you can get 27-32mpg on the highway). I don’t like the new iDrive 8 and the lack of physical buttons, but the engine makes up for everything. Highly recommend
Agree with above - B58 is also proving to me more reliable than some of bmw's older engines
I have an m340i, so the same power train and it really is one of the best daily drivers out there. Have had 0 issues with mine as well
Update: I ended up buying a 2021 M440i xDrive. Certified Pre-owned with 24k miles. $48,972 out the door

The practicality of a hatchback cannot be underestimated so IMO it’s either S5 Sportback or M440i GC as M1 mentioned. Not positive about the BMW but S5 SB is also a 5-seater not 4. Both awesome. I’m guessing BMW will be slightly higher price as well as higher maintenance. If Audi, the Sport package is a must. I like Audi tech much better
If you buy new, which idk if you’re getting a 440 new under $50k, but BMW gives you 3 years included maintenance everything but tires. I actually got 5 years negotiated into my deal. Idk what Audi offers but just something to consider.
The Audi S4/5 and C43 are the obvious alternatives to look into.
If European, but not specifically German, is allowed then I’d say look into the Volvo S60 Recharge. A lot more subdued than the German options, but still manages 0-60 in about 4 seconds flat with an interior and exterior design I personally prefer.

M440i GC is superior to S5 sportback which is the only direct competitor (4Dr sportback). B58 is also some of the finest engines from BMW. Powerful and reliable. Would highly recommend.

I think the M340 is probably the greatest car ever built for the price. The B58 is outstanding.
Why do you have a hard limit of 50K when you could easily get an M3 for a little bit more? Should retain its value quite a lot better, thereby costing you less than the 440i, despite being a better car in every way.
340 looks a lot better
