2023 Genesis G70 3.3T VS 2023 BMW M340i: Did Genesis One Up BMW?

[@genesisg7022]

I purchased my 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T April 2019. I currently have over 103K miles on it. No problems. Schedule Maintenance, set of tires, replace rear Brembo brakes. I don't baby my baby! Most people seem to rent new BMW'S, rather than purchase them. I wonder 🤔 why? The only thing that I didn't like ,was the infotainment screen, but Genesis provided me with an update, now it's nice! BMW makes great cars, I just prefer the Genesis.

[@tkatxu1967]

I also have a 2019 Genesis G70. Didn’t know they had an update for the infotainment? I just hit 21,500 miles. Should I sell it and get the G80?

[@madpistol]

I got to do extended test drives with both, and I ended up going with the M340i. The G70 absolutely nails it on the value front, but something about the M340i just put a bigger smile on my face. BMW's B58 is absolutely legendary, and when you combine it with the ZF 8 speed auto, it's literally one of the best powertrains currently on sale. The 3.3T in the Genesis is also good, but it doesn't have the sound or theater that the B58 offered. Obviously if money is a major factor, the G70 wins hands down, but if you can stretch a bit, the M340i is the better package IMO.

[@davidalenick1246]

I agree, 100%!

[@shinedownfly]

I ended up with a loaded sport prestige G70 (which this tester is not) which come with brembo brakes and nicer leather in the interior as well as adaptive suspension. I bought this over the BMW for the exact same reason you state, money was a factor. I could stretch my budget to $56k but not $70k. If you are buying you also must consider cost of ownership which will also be much higher for the BMW. I have to say I love my G70 and the way it drives is phenomenal,there is also something about having a unique car that is fun. But if I had the money, I would have bought the Bimmer.

[@lucacerasuolo6606]

I think we can all agree the M340i is, overall, the better car. But the question is, how much is that worth to you? In Canada, where I'm from, the M340i can be 20k to 25k more expensive than the equivalent G70. The M340i is better, but is it truly 20k-25k better? For those who can afford it, the M340i is a no-brainer. But the G70 is nothing to cry about; on the contrary! I think you can make an argument that, all things considered, the G70 3.3t is the second best in that segment!

[@CyberSkunk90]

I wish the Genesis had the aggressive sounding exhaust that the BMW has. Then it would be almost near perfect

[@Sumodeadliftsarefake69]

G70 would make a better daily driver. Sure an m340 traps 5 mph higher but are you actually doing that every time you’re in the car? No. But you are listening to the better stereo and sitting in the nappa leather seats that the g70 has 100% of the time.

[@danconlan8735]

Seems like you would have had a closer match options and brakes wise if you had the G70 Sport Prestige. It would give you the HUD and Brembo brakes. I’ve had a previous Gen. BMW 3 series and from week 1 it had issues with the electronics. I would be very cautious buying a BMW that’s not under warranty unless you have unlimited car repair funds. I now have a 2022 G70 Sport Prestige and I like the fact that I don’t see the same car constantly like I did with my BMW. To each their own, buy whatever you like!

[@yourmanzach2307]

i saw a g70 drive past mine, and i awkwardly waved, i was like should i be doing this?! haha but the g70 is the best car I've ever owned. i love music and the sound system is stellar imo. cant find any complaints. maybe the brake feel? initial bite is to soft/ not as responsive?

Since the Genesis G70 was engineered by former BMW Motorsport's Albert Biermann it's no surprise it has many of the same traits. I shopped a 2023 M240i (MSRP $54,000) as I've owned more than 25 Bimmers, but the delivered price compared to a 2023 G70 AWD Sport Advanced (MSRP $54,100) was staggering. The BMW would have been a bit over $18,000 plus my 2020 low miles Mustang GT Premium convertible trade, the G70 $9,900 and the trade! Love the car and the money saved.

I decided to go with the G70. I agree with the comment that it feels 90|95% of a BMW 340i (and much better than the m340i of the previous generation) in a very attractive package. Also Genesis has been at the top of reliability charts in the past 2 yrs (even beating Lexus and Porsche, what an achievement) AND last but not least, scheduled maintenance is free of charge for 5 yrs ( in Canada) . That got me convinced. Only regret : the sound track is a bit better with the BMW. Got a 2004 Z4 3.0i with sport package for summer to make me remember :)

How's gas tho? The bmw has much better mpg on paper but hows the real world mpg of g70 from your experience?

[@albangautier9245]

@@joeyn3590 the gas mileage is clearly not a strength of the G70 3.3T. In town, in my books it’s not good: 15 to 18 mpg ( I live in Canada and the numbers are based on my experience in cold weather). As soon as you hit the highway, the number improves A LOT. You get 25 mpg and more. That engine with mild hybridation ( like a stop and go system plus a mini battery to kick start the car) would be ideal. playing a lot with it ( sport mode and strong acceleration) will obviously not help with gas mileage. However, don’t forget you don’t pay for the scheduled maintenance. If you do 10 000 miles per year and the car averages 20 mpg ( I’m on the pessimistic side here ), that’s 500 gallons of fuel per year. @ 4 $ usd, it’s an annual cost of 2000$. If you get a 20% better mileage with a bmw, you save 400 $. I doubt this covers the annual maintenance cost of a bmw m 340i. :)

@@joeyn3590 Which BMW are you talking about. the M3 got 15 when I bought my S6. When it comes to engines, nobody can beat the Germans in milage vs power.

Just for you all to know the Genesis,has a Lotus built suspension.

[@EGARides-87]

That doesn't mean it's an actual Lotus suspension. It's like saying Metro PCS is actually T Mobile just because the same network. Metro only uses 15% of TMobile towers.

[@logicisdead9871]

The 17,000 price difference means you can buy a brand new genesis for your daily driver and use the 17,000 you saved to buy a 2014 335 for a weekend hot rod.

Stock performance sure the BMW is better but a lot of people modify these cars and thats where they end up pretty much the dame unless you are trying to build the motor

What I gotta do to transfer that exhaust from the BMW to the Genesis? 😂

[@todd4468]

I think id still pick the bmw. you say both trans are responsive but im sure the bmw paddle shifts are a lot faster (so the trans. is better), the bmw also gets much better mpg. the genesis gets worse avg mpg than my powerboost f150. i would also think the adaptive suspension in the bmw is better. i do think bmw’s have gotten crazy expensive and charge too much for options that are standard on cars far less expensive (e.g., toyotas).

[@huecollins6130]

The thing here is that just because you are biased toward BMW you “think” it shifts quicker and therefore is a better transmission. You “think” the adaptive suspension is better simply because it’s a BMW. You subjective perception doesn’t equal an objective view. As for gas mileage, I seriously doubt ANY F-150 gets better mileage than any Genesis… but there I go with a subjective take on that point. LOL

[@Carsandcoffee1212]

@@huecollins6130 So, I've owned two B58 + ZF 8-speed cars, and let me tell you, it is the finest transmission on the market today.

Take it from someone who had a 2022 M340i.....DON'T BUY IT!!! In less than 18 months, I was in the service center 6 to 8 times. Electrical issues that included problems with: radio, instrument panel, speakers, windows. I also had issues with the drive train/power train. My transmission even went out in the middle of the 405 freeway. I tried to get BMW to declare it a lemon, they said no! The Lemon Law lawyers also did not want to take my case.

[@johnjones-ui7ik]

Over the long haul the G70 would be less to own. Service would be less on the genesis and it’s $20k cheaper. Which means you can opt for the sport plus option for another $7k and still be $13k less than the BMW. Think I’d choose the G70.

[@geneforte9038]

Bmw gets much better mpg.

[@tkatxu1967]

For all of you talking about the mpg on the bmw, you’re also screaming about it’s POWER, meaning you’re a speed enthusiast. Having said that the mpg doesn’t mean chit anymore bcs once you chase the power…you lose the mpg value. Take it from a 2019 Genesis G70 owner with only 21k miles. It’s a beast, and I average 31 mpg!!! My car turns heads everywhere I go bcs it’s a rarity!

Genesis seems to be luxury first and performance / fun second. It looks like a Bentley. So I think for pure fun the BMW is way better and looks more agile. For more of a cruiser / Bentley type of GT car the genesis is probably the one

I'm not even putting a M340 in the same category as a Genesis. Don't care if it's the 3.3T or not. That B58 is a masterpiece one to not be played with. We all know it's way over 400hp in that engine.

Geez hard choice. I'd say the Genesis has more luxury/comfort but the 340i is quicker. Hyundai is a very reliable brand now but the B58 is a proven beast. I don't think the engine would break in the 340i but the car around it might. I've driven the new 340i facelift but not the G70. I'd have to drive the Genesis to decide I think.
