2024 BMW M340i xDrive: Start Up, Exhaust, Walkaround, Test Drive and Review

[@marksmith6440]

2022 M340i xDrive here. The B58 is truly an engineering marvel that never fails to bring a smile to my face every time I drive.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It’s definitely a lot of fun!

[@Ty420]

Regardless. This is an amazing car. They are quicker than you’d think. The difference between comfort mode and sport mode make it seem like 2 different cars.

[@CoupleDrinks]

I am shopping right now and this might just be more appealing than buying another S5. I’ve only owned Audis for the last 5 years. I might have to convert.

[@devinmurray5280]

I did too but I decided on a model 3 performance instead.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@devinmurray5280 not a bad choice for an EV

[@devinmurray5280]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah unfortunately it just made more sense. The out the door cost was 15k less for a car that is car lengths quicker off the line (520whp ~600lbs) and costs half that of an i4 little Kia forte to run. And it needs nearly no maintenance vs a BMW that needs its timing chain replaced at about 80k miles and needs frequent oil changes, soark plugs replaced eventually, brake pads (and some topping off oil looking at the community). Not factoring in depreciation 15+7.5k extra in fuel at least means over 5 years I’ve saved at least 20-25k. Like my heart wants the B58, but that’s a substantial amount to sway my head to away from it.

[@Deadlygangsta]

Just bought this car this week, so happy and excited. I will say one thing, I regret not getting the professional driving assistance package! Nobody told me and I didn’t do my HW, i didn’t know it was the auto driving mode. Its okay, still amazing and fun car!

I just ordered one 2 weeks ago... Got a few months to wait for delivery. I ticked all of the options - cost a bit more, but not a huge amount in terms of the overall cost of the car. But I don't want to regret not picking something later on. I tend to keep my cars a long time, so it's potentially a long time to live with regrets 😂

The M340i is still a phenomenal sports sedan 👏👏 that B58 3.0L inline 6 sounds amazing and it pulls insanely hard, this thing is still quick ~~ I’m sure BMW is underrating its 382 HP.

[@Mr.Lambert777]

Yeah that 382hp in the B58 definitely not accurate…it feels more like 430hp imo. I have a 23 x3M40

[@fadilrahman2157]

The 2024 models are quoted at 374hp (13hp less than the pre-facelift). But as you said, these make one feel as if its pushing beyond 420hp..

[@BlackonBlackE46]

on bmw website m340i is still showing as 382hp not 374@@fadilrahman2157

[@MercOne]

Still the class leader, hands down. So many challengers over the years and none have been able to topple this car. Amazing job at BMW. That said you better buy one now before they redesign it. You prolly won’t recognize it then.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Yeah the M340i is still the class leader 100% ~~ idk why people would buy anything else in this segment

[@Deadlygangsta]

Redesign will be in 2027 i think. 8 year cycle.

[@ChrisDavis333]

I was in the market for an M340i and some of these dealers were asking 70k… 70k is M3 level pricing which is insane to me. I went 2023 with 17k miles for 52k. That 1 year depreciation is insane and I wouldn’t advise anyone to spend 70k on this car, you’re going to be upside down bad if you do. 55-60k new is fair, but 70k? Hell nah.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Wow! Definitely a great way to go for this!

[@Frickevin]

Nice suggestion 😊

[@markgeorge2200]

Letting someone else take the depreciation hit is very smart

[@ChrisDavis333]

I had a great history teacher in high school, a lot of the stuff he taught us was actually life advice and that was one of the tidbits that I retained. At the time I didn’t think much about it but when I became an adult i remembered his advice and it made all the sense in the world.

[@martinfowmes3157]

I replaced my 2020 M340i with this Lci version. I chose Brooklyn grey as well. A few things from the old car that I miss but overall the new version is a nice update.

[@Ty420]

I wish they kept the interior the same as the pre-lci version. I dislike the new gauge cluster and infotainment being one screen. And I wish the gear shifter was still the normal stick and not the switches

[@schmoopy5083]

I hate the thick black border of the infotainment screen. We moved past these thick black borders on screens some 15 years ago... such an outdated design.

[@sterlingarcher7101]

I hate the lack of physical controls in general. Screens for everything is tacky and ages poorly

[@wrxTO]

Wish this was available in manual. It may be argued that BMW does not want to cannabilize M3 and M2 sales but those cars would still be special enough that they would have their buyers.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Ehh, That's why you buy the M3 for the manual. Would be neat, but I don't see that happening in the 340.

[@naurnah98]

Sick car, if going 3 Series this one is by far the one to get.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah this was a nice spec M340i!

[@ChrisDavis333]

If you pay 70k for these your 5 year depreciation is going to be like 50%. Buy 1-2 years old with under 20k miles and you’re in the sweet spot in my opinion. That’s what I did, if you can get a good interest rate it’s definitely worth going that route imo.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I'm sure these lose a bit. Nice used one is a cool way to go!

[@triyo1089]

You pay it off and you have a 30k trade in plus whatever you saved to use as a downpayment. Could easily save another 10-20k on top of it and you’re basically paying nothing for your second one, pay it off in 2-3 years. Use the rest of your time to save up and at 5 years you basically have enough to pay straight cash.

[@skywalkier]

Nice, I don’t drive enough to buy one.

[@MATCHPNT]

I always find these KZbin M340i reviews amusing because none of the reviewers mention the most important feature in these cars which is the difference in handling between the standard M Sport suspension and the optional Adaptive M suspension.The car this reviewer is driving appears to have the standard M Sport suspension which totally discredits the part of the video where he says the suspension was mushy in eco pro mode.Nothing changes in regard to the suspension firmness in the comfort,sport and sport plus settings if the M340i has the standard M Sport suspension.It is a fixed suspension system.You have to order the car with the Adaptive M Suspension if you want the car to have the adaptive suspension dampers that will firm up when you go from comfort to sport.Those are the only 2 suspension settings in the adaptive suspension setting.I actually prefer the car with the standard M Soort suspension.The car rides firmer and feels more dialed in for road feel.It makes the car feel more like you are driving an M car.The Adaptive M Suspension definitely absorbs pot holes and bad road surfaces better even in sport mode but it removes road feel IMO.It makes for a totally different 4:54 driving experience especially when you push the car hard through tight corners.The standard M Sport suspension is much better IMO if you want the best driving experience i recommend ordering the car with the standard M Sport suspension.For best sporty driving configure sport individual and select these settings, Steering - Sport Drivetrain - Sport Plus Transmission - Sport You basically can’t drive this car in the comfort steering setting.It has way too much play in the steering.The Sport setting is perfect. It’s a great car just order it with the right suspension for how you want to drive it.I recommend driving the car with both suspension set ups before you buy one.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Interesting. Where in this video did it show that the suspension was not the adaptive system tho? I've driven a ton of these, so if it didn't, I'm probably just used to it being softer in Comfort mode and just said it. But next time I'll go into the configure Sport mode and see what all it changes to make sure

[@GolfCoyote]

Man the B58 sounds so much better than the S58

[@D5002]

I’m confused why there were so many comparisons with the RS3. The M340i competes with the S4/5 and the C43. BMW’s competitor with the RS3 is the M2 and nobody is arguing that an RS3 is more agile than an M2.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

A lot of people are cross shopping this with the new RS3 since they cost the same. I made a whole video comparing mine to one of these. Yes the S4 and C43 are more direct competitors. But people are cross shopping. M2 is the best competitor to the RS3. Hopefully I can film that video if we have access to another M2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYqmo6ugqJyImdU

[@RobHTech]

I mean I like it. I just would need xDrive d/t my daily and live in PA. For the price, I believe it's the best sports sedan, European, for the price. And that engine is killer. I'm so glad BMW is connected to it's buyers and enthusiasts by bringing back the I6 T over the past few years and engineered the way it is. It's the only BMW engine equipped BMW that I would buy. And, Lexus is just messing stuff up, and the IS 350 doesn't have the V6 TT. Plus, with the B58 and ZF trans, the combo is pretty reliable and durable.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah the xDrive version is a great way to go for sure! The B58 and ZF really make this some fun!

[@mightyj806]

I really wanted this exact car. Brooklyn gray with the jet black wheels, red interior. I already looked at it in person. I can deal with the lack of a shick shifter but I hate the dashboard. Maybe modern but still cheap looking as a bolt on. If they just upgraded an old school version or even integrated this Ipad into the dash itself, then i would be sold. As is, I won't spend $65,000 on that. I could look for used version but would lose the warranty.

Stunning, a proper car, rather than the milk floats you see around.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

What do you consider a “milk float”, that would be a first.

[@ChrisDavis333]

It’s so much sexier than the M440i to me.. I’d throw some replica M3 wheels on it, same style, just with way less offset so they fit nicely.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah the M340 has a great sporty look!

[@tomy8339]

The mild hybrid system adds a considerable amount of weight. Is it really worth it? If you look up automotive spec sites, this car weighed about 1660 kgs without the mild hybrid system. The same model afterwards weighed in at 1800 kgs, so 140 kgs extra. I don't think that's worth it for that much weight penalty.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I don't think it really makes much of a difference. You feel a bit of EV power in low speeds. But the MPG I don't really see making a difference either, probably because of the weight

[@Carsaremydrug]

Doesn't it being hybrid stop from being tuned as well

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@Carsaremydrug I’m not too sure. I think people have tuned the newer ones. But I don’t follow the M340 that closely

This is a great car overall. One of the few remaining pleasant BMW designs. The less offensive grill makes such a positive difference. But I wish they would stop using so many glossy black parts low on the car where the road-wear happens. They’re doing this on seemingly all their models. Just a bad idea, IMO. Plus the digital screen looks pasted on like a bad after-thought. It should be integrated better.

[@user-vj5qc9kr5d]

Hey, thanks for the review. I am currently in the market for a performance sedan. Unfortunately being in Canada, the new Audi RS3 is not available to us anymore so I’m looking at the m340i. Would you recommend this over an older 2020 RS3?
