I never realized how quick the 340 is until I got one as a loaner car. I have a 5 series and when I had maintenance on it I had a 340 loaner. Man that 340 is super quick but you don't realize how fast you are going. Its a car that wants to be pushed to the limit every time you drive it. Nice ride.

The 3 series is the benchmark for a reason... and the M340i is the benchmark of the benchmark. I only got rid of mine because I upgraded to an M440i GC xDrive in the exact spec that I wanted. Congrats and enjoy it!

I usually don’t comment but I really like your format, the video felt as if i’m in a conversation with you rather than watching someone reading a spec sheet. I like how you talked about it’s personal application to you and how the current market reflects your decision. The sit down format was nice and the sparkle transition was nice due to not being overproduced. Best of luck, looking forward to more videos!

I leased a 21' m340i XI and now about couple months left until lease is done. If I were to phrase this car within a single word, it would be all-rounder. Reliable, great performance overall, very practical as well. I like to lease a new car every 3 years but this is the first vehicle that convinced me to go beyond that. For the transmission, only reason why they removed DCT from the M models is for the cost-effectiveness IMO, but regardless you can't go wrong with the ZF transmission. B58 & ZF are like peanut butter and jelly.

Solid video, got my 2020 m340i about 2 years back and I'm still excited whenever I get the chance to drive it, makes even a trip to get groceries an adventure. I'd recommend a downpipe (VRSF is solid, provides better sound and opens up tuning options for the future), the Adro diffuser (no other diffuser is even close) and the TRE cerakote quad exhaust tips to replace the fake trapezoidal exhaust tips they have on stock.

When you compare the IS500 vs M340i. Its like meeting two 28 yr old baddies when you're 35-40yr old. Both are 10s, but personalities are completely different. But you love both. but can only keep one. Both give it to you great, but the 340i just makes you finish a lil faster. So you choose the 340i. You forget tho, that one works out, the other does not. One will age like fine wine, the other will become like stale beer. Choosing the Lexus is like choosing the baddie that is into fitness and health, and the BMW is like choosing hotter chick who isn't into fitness or health, but secures a fetish. 5-10 yrs later, you're 45-50 yrs old, and bump into the Lexus, and realize you f-ed up.

I looked at a 2021 m550i with a twin turbo v8, but had questions on reliability and fuel economy. Ultimately I chose this car and loved it for its 1. reliability 2. sound 3. comfort 4. luxuriousness 5. practicality

How do you know I have not already been saving my money? I agree everyone should have at minimum 6 months living expenses in an emergency fund. Thankfully I have that and much more. I plan to pay off the car in two years (in case you were wondering). “Repo man going to come” it’s silly of you to make claims when you know absolutely nothing about my financial picture. Again, I never asked for your advice but thanks anyways.

Also, good job on the channel - nice presentation style, good opinions, great job of getting cars from dealers to review. Here's to hoping you keep moving up the ladder of youtube car reviewers.

Amazing car to get, i would recommend, a downpipe before exhaust, just cheaper and gets more noise that u want, also cross shop other exhausts other than m performance, there are some better options that probably are cheaper. Also I would do lowering springs, dinan if u dont want to go too low, and cobra springs if you want to go for good fitment, they both improve the dynamics and ride if u have the adaptive suspension, if u dont then i wouldnt lower unless u dont mind extra firmness. Some tunes are cheap but i would do an xhp transmission tune, not expensive and basically makes that 8 speed become a dct. Cant wait to see more vids on your car!!!

This is a fantastic video. After years of having an Accord coupe (V6, air suspension, big wheels, etc) it was time to let it go. I have two small kids (4 and 1.5) and I had an old B7 Audi that was a reliability nightmare. I'm really interested on one of these, even at these years, 2021/2022. I agree, you basically have the dream spec. I work remotely, and only go one day a week into my office. But that commute is an hour of winding wooded country roads and it's an absolute blast to drive with the right car. I'm still kicking around the TLX Type S as well. I was bitten so badly on the Audi is basically made me write off Euros for a while. I'm really looking forward to your series on this. I'm planning on buying at the end of this year, between Christmas and New Years.

M340i great fun car, but expect to cost more for maintenance and not long term keep. Lexus all around car to keep over 10 years or 100,000 miles or more, but most young guys would change car every 2-4 years or so, hence M340i is a good option under warranty.

Bro I am happy for you. But telling you this as I have owned both a 2020 and a 2023 m340i M340i which were built after 2020 August just sound like a vacuum cleaner as compared to the prior. upgrading exhaust doesn’t help. (All thanks to EU regulations and Greta) Also after 2020 August built M340is need ECU unlock 🔓 for which you need to send it to femto in Finland I tried M-performance exhaust on my 2023 and it was no way similar to what 2020 sounded like. I missed my 2020 so much that I ended up selling 2023 within a month. 😢

Nice choice Matt👌🏻. Did you ever consider a Stinger GT2? Great looks, liftback practicality, rear-biased awd, a little more affordable than the beamer…aaaaaand, if you find a certified one, Kia’s warranty is legit. Fuel economy, however, would be worse. On second thought, after soaking in the video, I guess a Stinger is not that ‘aspirational’ vehicle that one dreams of, such as the German choices.

I did really like that car but it’s very similar to Paolo’s G70 3.3 and I just wanted something a little different than what he had 🤷‍♂️ stinger is still an awesome car though

@@dwnshft Yeah I definitely miss the sound of it but like you touched on in this video, the fuel efficiency in the M340 is crazy good. On a recent road trip, I damn near achieved 40 mpg on the highway in regular comfort mode and it's pretty much just as quick as the GSF. The tech is also much better than the GSF. I do share the same sentiments with you on the tameness of the stock M340 exhaust though and am also looking to get the MPE soon.

Good on you for going pre-LCI. To me, it's better-looking than the LCI. Also, I've been living with an X1 loaner car this week, and I'm not a huge fan of iDrive 8 so far, at least the form in the X1. The 3er retains some physical controls, at least. Coincidentally, the X1 is Mineral White as well, and I don't like it. Maybe it just doesn't look good on an X1. It looks dirty in any lighting. Anyway, our other car is an IS 500, and I honestly thought about the M340i... But I'm one of those buyers who said, "Forget that, I need a V-8!" We had a G20 330i prior, so I am familiar with the platform. It is a very good car - usable, agile, efficient, and generally easy to live with. It just never spoke to me like my IS500 does. Wishing you the best with your ownership. 🎉

The 500 is a more special car but yeah it still under performs, interior from 2014, super cramped interior. The m340i while a very good car , is less special since theyre are a dime a dozen aka the grandma spec. Interior tech and motor is definitely a step up over the ancient Lexus interior. Enjoy

The B58 has been around for 7 years now! There have been plenty of them with well over 200k on the odometer. I know there is memes about BMW reliability but the b58/48 has put those worries to rest. The tuning and reliability of BMW engines is likely the best engine for sale today. Even better than Honda, except with much more power.
