11:41. Yes along with a host of other things being second to none on this car. Absolutely love it. BMW just knows how to live up to its reputation

[@TheNewBDetailer]

In Canada myself, and I appreciated all of the Canadian pricing details and comparisons with the 330.

[@MNlittlerat]

About 2 weeks of ownership here. My little boys love the car. So much fun to drive.

[@FamilyWheels]

Lucky guy! Nice work 👍🏻👌🏻

[@andrewtretton3987]

Do the rear seats fold flat?

[@MNlittlerat]

@@andrewtretton3987 Yes.

[@aps19423]

Is it suitable with a 10 month old baby as a daily ?

[@MNlittlerat]

@@aps19423 Definitely. I is a very spacious and safe car. Just don't drive it on sports mode when you have your baby in the car ;-).

[@claudioagmfilho]

I am from Recife in Brazil South America and we are still waiting for to get here, supposedly it will be arriving here this year...

[@matamatason7213]

What a car! Just love the inline six BMW's

[@FamilyWheels]

Did NOT want to give this back!

[@avishkarsingh744]

Absolutely stunning car as always from BMW

[@migy5031]

I enjoyed your review: you hit the highlights and traumatized your kids! 😉 When I was on a test drive, the sneaky salesman put it into Sport as I was pulling onto the highway and that closed the deal!

[@FamilyWheels]

Haha! They probably sell a lot by sneakily doing that!

[@mikev3999]

Great review! I love my new Alpine White M340. The blacked out grill looks so much better. FYI with some effort I managed an amazing 6.9 litres/100kms on a trip from Ottawa to Kingston Ontario and a shocking best of 5.1 litres on commute to work (17 mostly highway kms). On a car with almost 400 hp and 369 lb/feet of torque!! Unless I'm mistaken those are the same 18" 796 M wheels I have with my winter tires. The summer Micheline PS4S tires came on 19s. Highly recommend this car!

[@mikev3999]

Oh, and Apple Car Play is free for us now too. BMW took a lot of heat for that attempted cash grab.

[@FamilyWheels]

Outstanding fuel economy from an absolute beast of an engine! I loved this car too, this week I’m in the Genesis G70 and the M340i is a level above.

[@user-dq9pf3qb6c]

Very professional review big like!

[@FamilyWheels]

Thanks!

[@Sarge_72]

Great review ! Really wondering how much the adaptive suspension softens it up when in comfort…test drove one last week and wife found it a little harsh…. Adaptive could help seal the deal - she preferred the 540i

[@kobekiko475]

Can you do a review on the all new 2020 BMW X3 xdrive 30i m package Thanks hopefully you post soon

[@PHPW]

The kids. Brilliant

[@KLRGT500KR]

Definitely, that is shot in Vancouver, British Columbia.

[@FamilyWheels]

Sure is 🙂

[@NauticaloneEd]

Can’t believe it doesn’t have cooled seats!? I live in a hot climate and since getting used to cooled seats, won’t do without that feature.

[@gojkosalavarda3344]

Great channel!

[@FamilyWheels]

Thank you!

[@zihaoye2433]

Good reviews！

[@FamilyWheels]

Thank you!

[@paulbutler7075]

Apparently brakes are another practical feature in a car 😂😂

[@FamilyWheels]

I know right, they should be mandatory on all cars!!

[@olaf2046]

That is a BMW thing. Brake packages. Never seen that before buying my BMW. They also charge extra for paint color.

[@TheDiabloMadness]

Would love to see a review of the new 330e if you guys get the chance!

[@FamilyWheels]

Definitely on our want list! Won't be for a while but fingers crossed.

[@omegapsi847]

brilliant review, very nice! do you have a comparison to the Mercedes C43 and which one would you prefer? thx!

[@FamilyWheels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Haven't driven the C43 unfortunately, here's the closest we have done on the channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqHLn3tphd6rZ8U

[@robamg63s58]

Family Wheels, Nope! I prepare this M340i than the MB C43... I have a 2018 340i ///M performance and love it for my daily car for work. Will see how’s the new ///M3 will go!??

[@avishkarsingh744]

@@robamg63s58 and it's faster than a C43. Seen many drags. C43 stood no chance

[@CoopersSpecC]

The audi A4 has 500 litres of boot(Trunk) space. Where do you get 368 litres?

[@harrydost8557]

Best looking and much more family friendly is the touring wagon unfortunately not available much outside of Europe.

[@FamilyWheels]

Love sport wagons!! Canada gets the E63 AMG at least but the BMW would be great.

[@hermanwooster8944]

That's actually a decent price for the features. I was expecting it to be over 100k Canadian.

[@FamilyWheels]

Can you buy me one then??!!

[@hermanwooster8944]

[@ThirdLife86]

The A5 Sportback does have 480 Liter of trunk space when speaking of competitors.

[@FamilyWheels]

Do we need MORE reasons to love the sportback?!

[@ThirdLife86]

@@FamilyWheels Haha, just saying. Personally i think the 4GC and the A5 are probably more useful (and nice to look at) than a standard sedan. Two plus points there. Although i was really astonished by how large the trunk of the new 3-Series is.

[@ryedhel]

Beautiful car but hard to justify the $20,000 more than a fully loaded G70. The larger back seat room is nice though. Trunk space in the G70 is pretty functional even though it's smaller. I can fit my full golf bag across the back and two suitcases behind it. Great review. The kids loved the speed.

[@FamilyWheels]

You have a G70?! Nice work, a wise purchase 👌🏻👍🏻

[@MitchM240]

Depends what you value. The G70 is nice but this thrashes it in every possible way when it comes to driving dynamics. It’s not even close.

[@Onpoint365ayear]

Can you do a review of the 2020 bmw X4 M40i?

[@FamilyWheels]

Would looooove to! Not sure there is a press car available where we are, but will check!

[@mytube9314]

I would really enjoy this car as a daily

[@FamilyWheels]

It's a GREAT daily driver!

[@MNlittlerat]

It is my daily and it makes me want to go to work lol. Great on snow too, though a little more rear wheel biased than my previous AWD.

[@FamilyWheels]

@@MNlittlerat Haha! Employers should be subsidizing for them!

You’re a pro on this. Need you honest opinion not: “a lot people don’t like the grill, I don’t mind it” dude do your channel justice an review properly

[@Nguyen2fold]

I'll buy it in 2 yrs when it's 30k

[@FamilyWheels]

It'd be a STEAL at that price. I was looking at 5 year old 7 series prices the other day and WOW, do they ever plummet in value.

[@TheGamingAudiophile]

And then pay $30k in repairs within the next 2 years after that.

[@aps19423]

Got a 10 month old baby. Do you think it's a good idea to buy this car? Suitable for a rear facing car seat?

New 3 Series does not look good imo. Still waiting for the new G22 4 Series Coupe to replace my F30.

[@FamilyWheels]

Nice choice, they look fantastic!

[@kevinroa2919]

Should I get this or an RS 3? Decisions Decisions.

[@FamilyWheels]

What a predicament you're in! Good luck with that one :)

[@mavricxx]

LOVE the M340i, just wish they didn't use the "M" in vain like that when it's not a real "M" car. I love the way you have yours setup, that exactly how I'd get mine too, same color, same interior color with the same options. There are 3 things I do not like on it though, 1, the grill closing/opening feature and 2, that they charge a subscription for Apple Carplay and 3, that they do not offer Android Auto. Good to know they no longer charge for Apple Carplay in the States anymore. I'm personally waiting till year 3 or so for them to fix the Android Auto and whatever issues it may have to buy mine. Never buy the first or second year model.

[@FamilyWheels]

Can't wait to see what they do with the new M3. The cognac leather was divine.

[@migy5031]

NutNbutSpeed I agree that the M brand is diluted with the M performance lines. I was more shocked to see the AMG badge on a mid level car as well as an appearance package for the base cars. Unfortunately that's what the carmakers do to boost sales. Despite that, I love the M340i as my daily.

There are no current recalls on M340i. Let me know if you know something I dont know.

[@yousafali3470]

The engine is phenomenal in sport mode but the ride is stiff and my passengers complain constantly. Your kiddos are young and in booster seats..wait until they are teenagers and can feel every bump in the road. (Disclaimer: I'm a middle aged dude in NYC where the roads are awful...)

[@andrewgarner3428]

Could you just program the sport individual mode to keep the suspension in comfort whilst keeping the sport throttle response?

[@FrankyFrankk]

I want it but kinda expensive even here in California

Yeah you're taxed almost as bad as we are in Cali!

how much？
