2023 BMW M340i review: 0-100, 1/4 mile, 0-200 & engine sound

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Performance testing starts at 4:10

Can't tell you how relieved I am that you're continuing on youtube Brett. I saw that PDriveTV hadn't uploaded in 7 months and thought you'd moved on. You're my favourite aussie car reviewer!

[@adz5936]

Currently indecisive about upgrading from my my16 TT to a GR Supra, M240i xdrive, M440i xdrive or a TTRS. Gotta love the B58 and the awd system puts the power down flawlessly.

I just picked mine up yesterday and it's just a dream to drive. It's easily the best in its class

[@MrMdub87]

Shame about the overly sedate looks, weight and exxy price tag but the interior quality, engine and driving experience make this a favourite of mine. Wish they made the touring available and weren't six figures though. I'll keep dreaming :D

[@tsaki_titan]

This car is a 9/10, had it had the pre-facelifts exhaust and sound. It would ve perfect.

[@v2s2m29]

Can you please mention what fuel is being used during each test. Like if its using 98 octane or premium diesel etc

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Thanks for the suggestion. However, we usually test these press vehicles straight after collecting them, so they are nice and clean etc. The problem is, they come already fuelled up upon collection. We can only assume the manufacturer has used whatever fuel is recommended on the cap. Sorry we can't be more precise.

wait are you the same narrator from PDriveTV ? What happened to that channel?

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Yes. This is my new channel now. We had very little support over at PDriveTV, unfortunately. All future videos will be here 👍

[@davidzvezda]

Almost a second difference in 0-100 with and w/o LC

[@ricster1001]

Love the video. If possible can you include the US specs; HP , MPG, so on.

[@mattyoz0]

No.

[@TechHead03]

Come to the future with the rest of the world Americans 😂

[@davothegreat9990]

Does it get the M s58 engine??😂😂. I wish... but the b58 is a great motor too..

[@tsaki_titan]

This one doesnt pop like the old one😕

[@metalstorm45]

Just sold my 2018 C43 for this car. Hope the car is as good as many of the aussie reviews say it is.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

It depends on your expectations, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Superb sports sedan 👍

[@metalstorm45]

@drivingenthusiastaustralia yes. I think it will be...just not sure of the sound. 2018 C43 had natural nice cracking and popping. Hopefully IconicSound will be enough to keep me amused. I'm in Adelaide...the dealership didn't have an m340i for me to test drive at the time so they gave me an m440i to test drive instead. (as you know, same engine). Test drive the 2023 C43 and was not impressed with jerky transmission, plus the price was way more than the m340i. At $114k, driveaway for the m340i. It was a no-brainer to secure one.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

@@metalstorm45 The 440 feels a bit different in my opinion. Feels heavier and doesn’t turn in as nicely. In my opinion anyway. Hope that helps.

[@metalstorm45]

@@drivingenthusiastaustralia yes. Thx. Sales man did say 340i is more nimble than the 440i, as the latter is a bigger car.

[@Denny.B.]

@@metalstorm45 Hey mate, how did you manage to get such a great drive away price? :)
