Maybe wait till these are out and then get a new to you 2021 if you still prefer yours? Maybe test X3 M to experience that engine/transmission and Z4/M340i to get some sense of how different next gen M Performance may feel?

I'm curious what "newer tech" in the newer iDrive 7 is a "must have" over the iDrive 6 in the current M240i? I have to admit, having a navigation screen was probably the biggest reason I finally gave up my E46 330Ci ZHP. I was using Waze by propping up my phone. With my M240i, I just needed the CarPlay fullscreen hack and I'm very happy. I drove a new 3 series as a loaner not too long ago with the iDrive 7 and have to say that I didn't find the navigation screen that much of an improvement (I use CarPlay mostly anyway) and hate, hate, HATED the digital dashboard. So cluttered and redundant, tach that went the wrong way and was hard to read. For me, I was VERY glad to be back in my own car with dials I could read and I didn't miss a slightly larger screen.
I know it's all subjective tho.
