Would you say its a good reliable/sports car? and I heard that people don't like the new ones because of the mild hybrid system and does the 2024 have the the first gen of the b58 or the second gen?

[@DMCarReviews]

They have excellent reliability!

[@sonydominates]

I believe G20 should all be second gen so far. I've heard gen 3 is coming soon though

[@seanm3ify]

I have one with mild hybrid. No issues. It even adds torque boost, so I am glad it’s there.

[@davidalenick1246]

There are many iterations of the B58. I had the first gen in my 2016 340i XDrive. It had 320hp. Then with the m performance tune it was 335hp. The 2020 M340i was the high output B58 at 382hp. Then in 2021 the M340i also received the 48v mild hybrid system which is an 11hp boost though they still rate the engine at 382hp. Fuel economy did improve in the real world and there’s basically no turbo lag and the engine stop/start is very smooth. The X3 M40i received the same 382hp mild hybrid setup in 2022. I have a 2021 M340i XDrive and a 2023 X3 M40i XDrive.

[@SSVegeta10]

I agree with all the pros you mentioned, but I consider the C43 to be the more sportier car, it's an actual AMG unlike the M340i which is a M lite. But can't go wrong with either. @@davidalenick1246

[@muhamadbalaki6918]

The M340i is definitely one of my favorite cars, and I'm seriously considering getting one myself either by the end of this year or early next year. I do have a question about its long-term reliability, though. As an owner of a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6, which has been incredibly reliable, I've been hearing mixed things about BMW's reliability. Can anyone share their experiences with the M340i as it ages? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

[@DMCarReviews]

Hi! I have a 2022 BMW X4 M40i, and she is approaching 100k miles now. Bought her brand new, and so far I've only needed to replace tires and do routine maintenance throughout the mileage. Check out my latest video! Very reliable cars👌

@@DK-et6lmoil changes every 10k. Usually BMW brakes and rotors are about every 50k but these MSport brakes are barely worn after 43k (still have 11mm front and 7mm back). They might last well over 100k. Tires every 25-60k depending on the tire and how you drive. Occasional air and cabin filters, occasional wipers, and brake fluid change every 40k and plugs every 60k. And no timing belt to deal with. Any oem supplies are easy to get online at about 20-30% off retail… even from your local BMW dealer. They really are almost in line with mainstream brands for maintenance costs.

Nothing is going to happen to the car - relax! Most engines are broken in from the factory. Cars which don't allow you to do this will artificially limit themselves till 300 miles, like the X5 M60i, etc.

4.5 seconds to 60 off idle is crazy

[@DMCarReviews]

I agree!

[@claybarnett6350]

I still prefer the steering and interior of the G70 3.3 Twin Turbo, for about $15k less. The screens remind me of my work from home setup in this car, with two clunky rectangle monitors, and the gauge displays are too cartoonish (and not as easy to read when driving hard), seemingly just to look different. I’ll be in the minority here I’m sure, but give me classic functionality over unusual instrument readout design. Analog all day for me! 4.5sec to 60 is plenty fast for me, considering I commute to a corporate job, not a drag strip. 😊

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

M340i is a good car but for 77k, I don't think I'll pay for that. I'll stick to a $55k Genesis G70 3.3t. Not as fast as the m340i, but it's still plenty fast.

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

@DMCarReviews Discounts? Where on earth are you getting discounts for an 2024 M340i, show me. MSRP for for the M340i is $60K, no BMW dealer near me sells one for less than $65K, so yeah, a "hyundai" is a better bang for the buck especially the warranty. 60K mile complimentary service (oil and filter changes free).100K miles drive train warranty and + extended 60k ($4500ish) miles on top of that. My previous 2015 RCF had 159,000 miles until I sold it. I also paid a $600 60K mile warranty on rims and tire warranty. New tire for no question asked if nail got in it and curb rash on rims. BMW warranty is only 4 years and 50k miles.

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

@aus10li Inferrior? Lol you haven't even been into any of the Genesis cars in your life. I am 100% that after that 50K miles is up on your warranty, you'll be trading it in lol and taking the hit on that depreciation. Guess you settled with the most basic M340i lol?

[@DMCarReviews]

Both great options, just depends on what you prefer more! The S4 has the massaging seats and it has lighter handling, which is again a matter of preference. I also love the interior scent of the S4, and the materials they use in the cabin doors. Also, you can get an S4 Premium Plus for under 60k after rebates and discounts.

[@davidalenick1246]

Both are great options. The S4 e-diff makes it easy for an inexperienced driver to drive fast. It also isn’t picky on wheel/tire combos like the M340i but the M340i is the more balanced chassis. It doesn’t fall apart when driven at its limit and is faster, more fuel efficient, has better tech, and is more reliable and cheaper to maintain long term.

[@robisking528]

What a great car! Looks great in this spec!! M440i looks better imo but I prefer this one though, seems to be louder and its lighter as well which the last thing these cars needed was more weight😂😂
