[@raulmartinez3484]

I was considering getting a 335i, but after watching this video I will definitely save up and buy the 340i.

Great review man, very thorough. Your reviews give insight that others don't.

[@pmutah]

+Andy Hawkins thanks a lot man I really appreciate it. I have a lot of experience with cars so that probably helps me have a little bit different perspective.👍

[@oksymoroni]

Good review. You obviously know your F30s. I just picked up a 2017 340i. Love it!

[@pmutah]

+oksymoroni thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it. I've had a lot of cars and I've especially had a lot of BMW they are my favorite car. I really like the 340i congratulations. thanks again for watching my video.👍

[@kingkrux2838]

oksymoroni lucky!!!! What are your car payments like?

[@oksymoroni]

Not too bad. I had about 10K saved up from selling my last car that i put down on the new one. I paid 44K for my 340. Some guy was selling it with 3K miles on it so i pretty much got a new car for 15K under MSRP.

[@christopherdandeker6122]

agreed - excellent review - I have six speed manual i. Wonderful

[@reliablesignage6007]

this car is so gorgeous - I have a 2016 328i but I'm looking to trade somehow for a 340i msport - M3s are dope but for an every day understated driver with some pop - this car is so perfect.

[@pmutah]

Yes the 340i is a great daily. thanks for watching my video😎👍

[@77costa77]

Great review. You are, however, able to turn off TC 100% on the xDrive, which is done by holding down the traction control button. I am not 100% but when you engage sport+ mode on the xDrive, I believe it displaces more power to the rear. Probably not 100% power but definitely more than 50%!

[@maddenowczarzak5541]

You can use “xDelete” and it become RWD with the weight of an AWD. It’s still a lot of fun and with traction control one level off on AWD its still quite a bit of fun.

[@aneebaba06]

I have a black 2016 328xi. I do love the changes they made on this refresh (rear taillights and them being LED for example) Love it very much. I do have the sports seats and sport wheel (red cross stitching) but I wish I could have gotten the M sport package. Admittedly, was not thinking about it at the time budget was $40,000 and we bargained the price down from $44,000. I really love the M sport steering wheel though. If I ever get a chance at a another BMW, I'll def get the Msport package.

[@waqidj]

Thanks bro I bought a Mercedes and I keep saying to my friends that I you like driving buy bmw. I’m about to buy a 2016 340i sport . 25k miles for 34k... much better than new 60k :)

[@pmutah]

Thanks man I'm glad you liked the video. I think you'll love your 2016 340 it's a sweet car😎👍

[@b52cardiff27]

Man, the way you set the video up with the split screen: awesome viewing!

[@pmutah]

+B52Cardiff thanks man I really appreciate it. just trying to put up some good content for you guys.👍

[@jasperthefriendlyghost4073]

Bought a used 340i fully loaded with only 12k miles, basically new. The ultimate first car.

[@pmutah]

That is a really nice first car congratulations😎👍

[@NS416]

These things are great, the new S4 is nice but it isn't as fun to drive as this. I still have this at the top of my class. 3 Series C Class A4 ATS IS XE Q50

[@pmutah]

+NS 416 thanks for the comment. I agree with your list. the 340i is the bomb.👍

[@av7447]

The top of your class is a 1989 Hyundai Excel... Might wanna take a look at that one... :)))

[@Mkfeezy]

Why Q50 last?

[@SickStyle201]

You know you’re a car nut when you know every brand before the model lol

[@HargunSV]

Austin Ramirez i would assume because of the steering. completely numb and by far the worst steering out of all of the others.

[@dominicgatelaro3301]

What do you prefer , the 2016 Golf R or The 340i ?

[@Eckstant]

FWIW - I have a 2016 340i xdrive with a 6spd and you can definitely turn off all the nags. To the point of your own death if you're not comfortable or ready for the fun. P.S. There's a dyno pull of mine on my channel before I slapped the AWE exhaust on.

[@ganuv]

The b58 is also a closed deck engine with the b57 diesel bottom block which makes it much stronger than the n55

[@jaymaddox334]

I have this Car. Blacked out grille. Fantastic car. I love it.

[@pmutah]

It's a great car thanks for watching😎👍

[@gregmilka2902]

I have a 2016 340ix and you can turn off traction with Sport +

[@3.0ss]

Not sure whether to get this or a 16' Audi S4. Quattro seems better than xDrive and Audi is more reliable. Anyone know what I should get?

[@pmutah]

xMoD Official that's a really tough call. I really like the S4 and the 340i I'd probably take the BMW still just barely. I think the technology in it a little better and I like the newer motor in it.😎👍

[@googlemaster98]

Great review Brandon, keep it up!

[@pmutah]

+googlemaster98 thanks a lot man I appreciate the support👍

[@scottjohnson8316]

Did u say if his was an xdrive? A lot of people when reviewing this car don’t say if it’s rwd or awd Huge differences IMO

[@pmutah]

Rwd

[@GOD999MODE]

340i is basically the refreshed 335i right? So maybe an exhaust upgrade, air intake, and wheels will suffice?

[@DaOldSchoolRapLova96]

That's a 100% right. The 330 is below that and the 328 is the base model

[@MohamedAdel-xm8lj]

Do you face any trouble with big rims and thin wheels, as well as fuel consumption?

[@pmutah]

No not really feel consumption seems really good still 😎👍

[@efthimios]

Gorgeous as a 335 msport owner I really want to bump up to the 340 the motor is great

[@pmutah]

+Herakles thanks for the comment. The 335 is still an awesome car and I love the n55 motor to. the 340 is just refined a little more in every way it's a great car.👍

[@mholmes9262]

Nice review Brandon. I was watching this for the 2nd time and realized I know right where this road is, I drive it all the time. I totally agree with you on the i vs the xDrive. I had an F30 335i M sport with snow tires and UT winters never gave me any trouble. Looking forward to picking up a 340i soon.

[@LoLPhuocDat]

M Holmes i’m in utah and hopfukly gonna get an x drive cuz i’m too scared of the RWD haha

[@OhhitsWill]

Do these have ambient lighting?

[@pmutah]

Yes they do

[@armandol1826]

Did you ever change the kidney grill to a gloss black one? I owned a n26 f30 and loved it. You should do a comparison of your 340 vs the new g20

[@pmutah]

It'd be cool to get some black Grills. it would look really nice on this 340. Hopefully I'll be able to drive the new G20 here soon. thanks for the comment😎👍

[@gabemartinez1012]

Is the steering feeling in the 340i sport or just on the m-sport?

[@b58manmeat21]

English please

[@hotshot940]

You can turn traction control off with xdrive.

[@pmutah]

hotshot940 thanks for the comment. no you can't it says it's off but it's really never off in an xdrive car

[@thermalkid9383]

@@pmutah have you driven an xdrive?

VQ3713 thanks a lot man. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed it.👍

[@blexy350]

Brandon Pierce, no problem! Out of the 3, which one do you recommend in terms of reliability and cost to own ( I am someone who finances, I do not lease)... Audi, BMW or Mercedes?

[@pmutah]

+VQ3713 it would be a very long reply for me to explain that. all those brands have good cars I lean towards BMW because they're the sportiest of the three and I like rear wheel drive. but it really depends on the driver. as far as the lowest cost to own. you want the special models so like the M's the amg's the S models those type of cars. it is better to buy a base model special series car like an m2 S4 or c63 then to get the regular model with all the options. Do you want awd what's important to you in a car?

[@blexy350]

Brandon Pierce, to give you a high level view on what I look for: -I drive a G37x sedan now, so I am used to having the power when I want it. -AWD (My G is RWD based and AWD kicks in only when needed, it is not 100% running AWD) -Sedan body or 4dr coupe -NAV, Headed seats, Sunroof, keyless entry, I am big on LED so full LED front and rear lamps preferred. -Reliability and longevity -Sporty but simple build (the Lexus IS has too many accents and divots in the body for my taste) -Simplistic interior, I hate a ton of buttons (Lots of complains on the G37 interior but I love the simplicity of it) -Seat comfort over sporty stiff appearance -I don't want something that is going to constantly break or prone to break (I know every car has its problems) -Based on the brands, I am stuck between Audi and BMW. I prefer their styling over a Benz. Thank you for your advice and help!

[@pmutah]

+VQ3713 how much did you want to spend on the new car that you're going to buy?

[@michaelcombs1738]

Is that Provo canyon? Nice review! I really want this to be my next car, but I'll be going for Xdrive version.

[@pmutah]

Michael Combs thanks for the comment. yes this is Provo Canyon. I like the xDrive version 2. but if I have a choice I would take just the regular old I. thanks for watching my review👍

[@kingkrux2838]

That motor is not a n55 it's the b58

[@pmutah]

KruX yeah I know it's a b58 I was talking about the old motor versus the new motor

[@kingkrux2838]

Brandon Pierce oh yeah u did say that I'm sorry 😐 lol

[@pmutah]

+KruX no problem thanks for watching my video I appreciate it👍

[@kingkrux2838]

Brandon Pierce no problem it was a good video!

[@jaymaddox334]

Yup b58

[@michaelriddell2881]

This is a 2017, you can tell by the steering wheel

[@pmutah]

Nope sorry it's a 2016

[@PatrickWDwyer]

The 2017 comes standard with the M Sport Package, the 2016 it was an option, this car was just optioned with the package

I thought it had ah b58 engine

[@grantw7946]

Just say it - X-Drive sucks!

[@pmutah]

I definitely prefer rear wheel drive😎👍

[@toddpedersen6694]

Boo, no stick shift

[@av7447]

Wow, some people are easily pleased :))) Personally I can't pay so much money for a car that's interior looks worse than a Honda Civic .... The base model 320 x-drive is the only good value 3 series. If you start adding options to it you are just getting ripped off...

[@pmutah]

+av7447 thanks for the comment. I guess it's just a matter of opinion. but for me the engine alone is worth more than the whole Honda Civic. and I love the simple clean interior of the BMW. options do get a little expensive but people are buying them so you can't blame BMW. for that thanks for watching my video.

[@kennb33]

My gf has a 2017 Honda Civic fully loaded. While nice I have no idea wtf you're talking about.

[@av7447]

I am talking about the value you get for your money. If you think its ok to spend $70000 on a honda civic class car, be my guest.

[@pmutah]

av7447 mat the Civic is a good car. Hyundai Sonata is it okay car. the Toyota Camry is a good car. a Corollas a good car. but if you want a car that has some passion and emotion it's got to be German. so there's lots of cars that can get you from work and back or to home and back. but if you want something fun it's worth it to most people to pay a little more than a Civic.

[@kennb33]

Honda Civic class car? You obviously don't even own a car or have a license.
