[@derrickarmour]

Imagine how gorgeous this car would look if they used this shape for the M models and made them aggressive (p.s. it's already sexy as is)

The grill design looks like the star pattern on the W10-W14. It takes a lot of getting used to.

Loving my M340i sedan from day 1! Also M technology pack with 374 mm brakes (non drilled version in this pack) for just 360€ is a bargain compared to aftermarket installing the M performance brake kit where the only difference is the disc, caliper is the same and also pads should be. Plus extra cooling :)

[@mrmysterious6006]

How is the ride quality especially over bumps with the KW suspension? Is it smoother than stock?

[@Queenfan007]

Thanks for your experience. I own a 2020 M340i Touring, full stock, in the same color as yours. I really think to make some upgrades. I have 2 question: is it easy to install the MHD tune? And can i install by myself the eventury carbon intake (i don't know anything in mecanics). With these 2 upgrades only, how much horsepower can i reach? And finally, the exhaust is also on my list.

[@oneofakind2994]

M3 Touring is a lot more expensive than 13.000€ so you did the smart choice 👌

[@kaeji_namitsua]

M3 touring will keep its value much better. Spend more save more.

[@emilpers1078]

Hello, why V3 and not their DDC kit? With V3 you disable the Adaptive suspension, while DDC it's paired with it.

[@Kerleem]

As an American living in the Netherlands, it's so great to own a G21 2020 330i touring. BMW wagons are the best and the M340i Touring (and maybe M3 touring) are my dream cars. 😍

[@yesitsme8943]

I would like a similar setup on my X3 M40i. Unfortunately no Eventuri air intake available. Still gonna put the downpipe and midpipe

[@brabus343]

Do they not have headers for actual dual exhaust ? That would make it breath way bettwr

Guys please help me... I want to buy a new car next year (got an a4 atm) and can't decide between the C43 and THIS M340i ... both are amazing, but the M340i looks like more fun and it has the Engine even Toyota uses and Inline-6 are overall better than V6 (Sound & Maintenance). The 340i is like 5-7k € more expensive here, so is a G20 a bad buy? Does it have any known problems?

[@niffow]

if you install only midpipe will there be any problems with the check engine light?

I have Msport brakes ( 4 pistons front , 2 rear ) and it still brake like as a s.... X4 M40i 2 tons . need more .

[@d-i-m-a-]

is it legal to drive without an OPF in NL? In Germany it is not and the cops will confiscate the car etc. etc.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

I believe these brakes are now a $2400 option if buying a new LCI M340i, correct? I can't find any definitive information. All I know is my build sheet for my 2023 has the ZTK cooling and high performance tire package and 33B M sport package pro with the m sport brakes with red calipers.

[@alexluke84]

This is more in the way of Alpina B3 so yes it is better than M3

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Definitely needs a better offset of wheels. Those wheels being inside the wheel well is just unacceptable lol? Very nice car still.

If I have m adaptive suspension is it worth getting kw kit

[@ebigford34]

put some E in there to run the E40 tune. Or better yet do the ethanol sensor to run flex fuel. Its a really nice bump in HP. Also, XHP stage 3, if you go into the torque settings, launch control settings, etc, can be as smooth as stock in comfort and super aggressive in sport+/sport. I found it a better experience than the stage 2 settings

[@dmitryz7305]

Is the car still road legal? In Germany it would not be. Is the Dutch car registry/inspection authority very lax on tuning?

[@rv9990]

There is no real inspection on (ECU) tuning in the Netherlands. Legally you have to re-register your car if you add more than 30% of power, which nobody does. DPF and a Cat are mandatory. On supension, bodykit parts and wheels are no inspections as long as they are safe (so no pointy parts, or poking of the wheels outside of the body). If your exhaust is really loud police could perfom a decibel test, which almost never happens. Getting caught with car tuning in the Netherlands is pretty much impossible if you act normal.

[@dmitryz7305]

@@rv9990 interesting. Thanks for the info. But if AutoTopNL would sell his car to a German person, that person would never be able to register it here. Brakes and Suspension will be ok. But Downpipe and no middle muffler? Hell no. Software also no (but hard to detect, as you said).

Great mods! Some of them (and some more 😉 ) I've added to my M340i Touring too... This weekend I'm proud to tell, that I'm the first G21 driver with the M3 brakes - 380mm M-Compound black version on the front axle. The breaking power is phenomenal but there are only 2mm left to the 792M alloy wheels... It was horrible for my mechanics to assemble these brake system. I also have several strut bars and the Eibach anti-roll kit, AC-Schnitzer springs, 300cell downpipe, Wagner tuning oilcooler and Cup 2's for the racetrack. But I'm looking forward to the upcoming Stage 2 mod and the XHP stage 2 for the gearbox. It's a great car for having fun on the streets and I also love to drive it on the track too. What an amazing car. Keep it up, Martin! 😃
