10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT MY 2020 M340i

[@Madoosieuh]

To switch off the automatic gear shifting, gotta kick the shift knob to the left to S Mode. Thank me later

[@jahudini]

Its the only way to enjoy the M340i anything else will be lame. In fact the S Mode should have been the normal mode.

[@ridewithG123]

yeah i saw 4 and im like wait its not in S mode with the shifter. 8. is the number 1 issue for me

just want to let you know that the brake dust is simply due to the type of brake pads currently have. All you need to do is replace your brake pads with ceramic or just a type that doesn't cause this brake dust build up, it's an easy fix.

That sucks. My 2020 m340i has be wonderful and currently have 41k miles. It was a CPO with 27k miles and I have all the service records from the previous owner. He had no issues with it expect a flat tire. It was in an accident, but he has BMW collision center repair everything and kept all the paperwork. The only issue I had was the passenger side laser light stopped working but BMW replaced the control module. I blame the accident for that part failing. I can relate with the brake dust as mine was optioned with the motorsport engineering package (cooling and HP tire package) which has even larger rotors the standard m-sports on the M340i. The M340i is such an amazing all-around car I'll gladly deal with any maintenance BS.

The CarPlay thing happens in a lot of different cars, including chrysler ones. When you wanna make your video, you gotta be in the regular BMW audio mode, then when your chillin you can be on CarPlay

[@lornestein7248]

I'm a 57 year old man who's researching for my next car. I drive a mint, pro-modded 2013 Acura TL 3.7L SHawd with only 62K miles. Never a single issue since it left the dealership 10.5 years ago. Bulletproof great and amazing performance with my mods. I want your car but scared shitless for long term reliability. Will only buy for cash on hand + trade - No loan-financing! - Have 34K USD ready to go - Been checking Genesis 2022-23 GV70.. Nope.. has differential problems...etc. Can't take a chance with close to out of warranty cars like these.. Life's too short for Rav4, CRV, Camry.. boring 4cyl putters.. Can't afford anything newer than 2019-20 M340i, MB-C43, Audi S4 etc.. Getting frustrated.

Hey bro I think there's a solution for the speech mode while recording. instead of using apps to record such as snapchat, use your iPhone's stock camera app. Once in the app do not switch to video mode, instead stay in picture mode and hold down the capture button. Once you're holding down on the button you will see a video lock option, slide your finger over to it and it will record without you having to hold it (just like the snapchat record lock). I believe this will solve your issue, good luck and nice car!
