This is the version I'd tell a friend.

New-model numbers always look better than curb weight and tire size. If this is a 2027 reveal, I wouldn't map it onto today's 2018 BMW 340i ownership costs yet. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2018 BMW 340i in Westchester with 93,500 miles. That's the whole play. Make the next action something you can finish this week. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
