BMW M340d Xdrive Touring - *Verde Ermes*

In this vid I review possibly the ultimate daily performance car that would suit most of us. The BMW M340d Xdrive Touring in a very individual Verde Ermes paint spec.
Huge shoutout to ZedCoding for letting me loose on his car.

the 3 series touring has become my dream car, and the M340d just looks like an absolute blast, the perfect compromise between performance and fuel economy when cruising.

[@crichussey9167]

Spec is stunning - thanks for covering this. The best G21 Touring I’ve seen and 100% king of its own segment when compared with Audi and MB competition.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

No problem, really enjoyed doing the vid on this. Spec is on point and as expected in the comments, the colour seems to be very interesting for all

[@AnnoyedGlobe-sf9yo]

Lovely car, what a colour

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Awesome colour yes!

[@markushuttner9260]

gr8 review! and really… the color… it just suits perfect. just orderd the 340d in black - and now im a little jealous😊

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thank you…..yes the colour is amazing! Don’t worry about you choosing black…..when you’re behind the wheel you can’t see the outside anyway hahaha

[@rogerfleming3165]

Stunning spec, such a beautiful colour, it really suits the touring shape. Great review as always. It will certainly drive better than an SUV/SAV and provide a good balance of performance, economy and extra space.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thanks for your comment. The colour is definitely a great talking point on this M340d…. It pops so differently in all light scenarios. Performance is great and all round practicality is decent.

[@chrispittock2099]

Great review Mo of an absolutely cracking motor. In that colour too 💚💚💚. It’s such a shame that BMW have made the decision to drop the M340d from the LCi2 line-up, they really are losing a peach.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Agree Chris, this car makes a lot of sense to many people but I guess it will make for strong residuals for used examples. Even that said, you won’t be able to order a staple 320d anymore

[@zainulaabideenmulla]

Tried to order one of the M340d saloons in May but I was told there were no slots available. And as you said, it’s only the M340i available now with the latest LCI. On the plus side, I’ve ordered a G87 M2 instead 😂

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Well I guess you have a real performance car there with the G87. It’s a shame no more M340d on configuration

[@Ishlino]

That colour is immaculate 😍

[@DownShiftThrottle]

It is indeed, it’s much better in person!

[@Ishlino]

@@DownShiftThrottle The car is a beatiful blend of performance and practicality!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Definitely ticks a lot of boxes!

[@cyrose1935]

The colour holy shhhhhhheeeeeetttt!!! 😍

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I knew you would love it! Can see you in this after your 335d!

[@cyrose1935]

Drove a pre LCI M340d and I didn't think it was any quicker than the F30 335d - but then again the F30 is a lot lighter

[@vaughnlee136]

Stunning colour 😍 👌🏾 bmw cars hasn't got an soft limiter mate. Top spec brilliant 👏🏾 👌🏾 👍🏾

[@CM.243]

They do when the engine is cold.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Thank you 🙌

[@Denny.B.]

Thanks for the video!! Im choosing between m340i and m240i … have driven both? Would you say 240 feels much more fun to drive?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

2 very different cars….M240i feels more sports like

[@magnetronmaster2425]

Nice contrib ! What magic keeps the front plate fastened to the bumper ?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I think some sticky tapes hold them on

[@shiugen676]

Do those wheels (791M) take 245's on the front?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

They should, I think standard is 235

[@ianwilkinson7612]

Good review and yes the "torque is over 600Nm" ... it's 700Nm!

[@madgary187]

Literally no idea how rare it is to have the adaptive cruise control. Why on earth it isn't a standard feature on BM's I'll never know 😢

[@DownShiftThrottle]

BMWs and their must have options list! I’ve got it on my mk8 GTI, works well.

[@jasonmjonesuk]

Nice daily

[@DownShiftThrottle]

You know it

[@CM.243]

Slightly disagree with your view on 40i and 40d. Both are great engines, but to me, it really comes down to mileage. I had BM 6cyl diesels for 22 years, but then mileage dropped and DPFs clogged. I found I did quite a few short journeys amongst longer one's too, and the engine didn't really get up to proper working temp. And always had issues with EGR valves!! So I got a 40i and don't worry too much about the mpg - if I did, I'd get the very good 320d! If I still did big mileage, then 40d would make more sense. As for running costs, was in France a few months back and looking back through the data, one leg of the long trip was 157 miles at an av of 78.9mph returning 40.2mpg. Another leg was 155m at 76.8mph again returning 40.2 mpg. The 3rd & 4th leg were 98m & 133m @ 69 & 72mph both giving 38.1 mpg. So while the 40d is going to do much better, the 40i can be quite decent for what it is. And then the politics of it. Councils are going to start hammering diesel cars, which I also think will further hit residuals. But who knows, I'm probably totally wrong.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

No problem, thanks for your thoughts. Always welcome

[@SmartfoolGB]

11:20 you dont need timing gear to rag next mans motor

[@TG-pd3ft]

Not for me. Big heavy lump and the steering is dead AF

[@JohnGuidetti751]

I wouldn’t call a 3 series a heavy lump. It’s under 1900kg anyways
