I have had my M340 since November 2021. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my car! Its absolutely worth every dime!

[@BeamerView]

Insane car!! Can’t do anything but love it

[@JROLL84]

I ‘ve had mine since January 21’ and I can’t stop smiling

[@tkluiss6536]

Should i get the M5 or 2023 m340i im SO STUCK

[@BeamerView]

@@tkluiss6536 if it’s a daily go with the m340. But if you have a 2nd car M5 for sure.

[@tkluiss6536]

@@BeamerView yeah they're both very intriguing but it would be my first vehicle so i would want to daily it

[@srbs73]

I took my M340i Touring to the Isle of Man for the TT last weekend. Was getting 40mpg in eco pro on the way there, but one on the Mountain course, was pushing 120mph uphill. This car is an amazing all rounder.

[@BeamerView]

That’s insane. Yess one of the best cars ever made

[@iddicted]

I'll get 35 in my 440 but 40mpg is a dream come true

[@exstormtrooperI]

Ive had many various models. My 2021 340i M is by far the most fun I’ve ever had. EVERY time you get in it you love it.

[@BeamerView]

Agreed. I got a friend who just tuned his too and is doing 3.0 0 to 60mph. These cars are amazing!

[@npan3058]

Owned an M340i for about 1.5 year here in the UK . X drive here. Bloody insane. Sleeper- although I put quad exhausts/front splitter/rear diffuser/rear spoiler on it haha MPG is crazy good. Comfortable. 5 perfect seats. My daily driver to work- commute 30 mins either way 5 days a week. Do not get a full fat M car as a daily. Especially in this climate. GET IT !!

[@BeamerView]

Great points!! Makes me want to personally get one too, which I'm sure I will one day!!

[@ikraam19]

I’ve owned many Bmw’s including full M cars but my M340i is by far the best BMW I’ve ever owned. It provides performance, practicality, luxury, and economy all in one vehicle.

[@BeamerView]

That’s true. Also a big reason why I was debating on not getting the m3 I feel the m340 just adds that better joy of day to day drives

[@boggie114]

The answer is yes. I absolutely LOVE my 2021 M340i.

[@BeamerView]

Congrats on having that! It's a spectacular vehicle, can't wait till the day I get mine as well.

[@davidalenick1246]

Absolutely LOVE my 2021 M340i XDrive! It’s the perfect daily! Gobs of power, super comfortable, all-weather capable, space for the family, all the gadgets, and insanely good gas mileage! I average 34-40 mpg on my 26 mile trip to and from work with half of it being on city streets and through traffic. Secret is actually NOT using Eco mode as it hyper miles in Comfort mode. Have even gotten over 500 miles on a tank at times!

[@BeamerView]

Great points David, I also truly agree that it's the best car all around, especially for a daily. It's my next car that I have to have!

[@Toolfanboy27]

I just bought a brand new 22' 340 xdrive with sapphire metallic black, black rims, extended shadowline, and cognac seats with the oak trim. Picking it up Wednesday!! It's such an awesome car!!

[@BeamerView]

Congrats! Amazing spec, I would’ve done it up the same exact way. Let me know if you had any questions about it!

[@spencerjefferies5671]

How do you like it? I just ordered the same spec.

[@Jay3s]

Proud owner, love this car (2020)

[@BeamerView]

2020s weRE the BEST

[@milesjansen2165]

All facts. I got 37mpg on a 400 mile round trip in my recently purchased CPO 2020 M340i XDrive. That was mostly highway but included some traffic and suburban driving. Without the traffic and suburbs, it might have been 40mpg. It's smooth, quiet, efficient, and comfortable when you want it to be then you put it in sport mode and it becomes an AWD rocket with awesome handling. It's the best combination of speed, efficiency, all season capability, features, style, passenger and cargo capacity on the road imo.

[@TheSavageB]

Rs3 and this are king daily drivers imo.

[@stanleybuthelezi3065]

Great review 👏 thanks king..I drive the f30 now,want to purchase the new 440 bt now u just confused me.😀

[@BeamerView]

Haha new 440i is nice too. They also come in gran coupe here in the US, if you also wanted to consider that. F30s are nice but the G series will blow you away.

[@paulmackey9385]

Definitely!

[@BeamerView]

Right on!

[@skippwhipple3470]

I have a 2016 535i. I can not get the door opener to work. Have tried car and door opener. No luck. Any ideas

[@BeamerView]

You mean the garage door?

[@335wayne6]

gesture control is pretty sick as well

[@BeamerView]

Right!?

[@Kerrydeez]

Getting one in July with the face lift can’t wait!

[@BeamerView]

AHHH, I can't wait to see what they look like, are you getting the M Performance Exhaust?

[@Kerrydeez]

@@BeamerView that is the plan! Saw they added a lot more customization options for 2023!

[@BeamerView]

@@Kerrydeez That's awesome, didn't know they would be adding more custom options. Anything in particular that you liked the best that we should know about?

[@Postingam2]

@@BeamerView from what I can tell they finally added dravit gray and skyscraper gray to the list of colors. I just put in an order for a dravit xdrive with the new wheel option and tacora red vernasca leather

[@tkluiss6536]

@@Postingam2 im also in the market for one did you order it and how long till it delivers ?

[@FollowSun]

Nice. What all season tires bmw uses (bmw star on them) for 18”? Thanks

[@BeamerView]

Tire brands can vary, this goes for the M3 as well too. BMW tends to switch off the tires between Michelin and Pirelli. Both are great.

[@FollowSun]

@@BeamerView in Eu there are no All Season tires accepted by Bmw, and if you use any tires without the bmw star mark on them you can have warranty issues.

[@balenciimusic]

I have a 2018 340i Msport with 25k miles, do you think the upgrade to a m340i would be worth it for me?

[@BeamerView]

I would do it. You’ll get a great value for your trade and the m340i is a great step up and will retain its value much more in the long run. Also with the current market conditions it’s worth trading in used and buying new.

[@davidalenick1246]

I had a 2016 340i XDrive that I had special ordered. Loved it. Now I have a 2021 M340i XDrive. The tech, power, and gas mileage are all greatly improved but the biggest difference is it’s ride over abrupt bumps, etc. The new G20 chassis is light years better than the F30 chassis. So much more solid.

[@ItzKiAz]

is the cooling and high performance tire package worth it? I just ordered this car but I didnt add on that package

[@BeamerView]

Unless you’re tracking the car on the regular I see no point in having it. I’d say you made the right choice!

[@davidalenick1246]

I did not get it on mine but my buddy did. I really wish I had his bigger brakes. I didn’t realize the brake discs and calipers get upgraded as well. It is a noticeable difference. And the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires are a nice touch too.

[@ItzKiAz]

@@davidalenick1246 You think its worth paying for the package?

[@davidalenick1246]

@@ItzKiAz it all depends. If you are planning on running all-season runflats and don’t drive aggressively, you won’t notice the difference. But the most noticeable difference when aggressively driving are the bigger brakes. They are much nicer with better bite. However, if your car gets crappy summer tires, you’ll still need to switch the tires to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires to reach full potential.

[@tommyvercetti1264]

How does it compare to the F80 M3, looking around right now and stuck between the both

[@BeamerView]

I would, hands down, go with the m340i. F80 is excellent, obviously more potent from a rolling start, and looks more aggressive. But other than that, the M340i will beat it in every way. From a dig, it has xdrive. Better gas MPG. More practical. Sounds way better if you get the M Exhaust on it. More confidence when you're driving it hard. Lastly, it is way more up-to-date with the technology with major ones such as apple car play, etc.

[@tommyvercetti1264]

@@BeamerView see I was leaning more towards the m340i due to its newer and all it has to offer, but the f80 has all the sport/sport+ options as in dampening, steering, etc. And I was looking more for some spirited driving, being behind an M machine, i also don’t know if the m340i offers all of that

[@iits.mufasa]

I was think thinking about getting a 340i but now I can’t decide between the f80 m340i or the f30 340i what do you guys think

[@BeamerView]

M340i. Much better tech I also feel it’s more smooth and better resale value.

[@iits.mufasa]

@@BeamerView thanks I appreciate it also I’m having a hard time deciding what to do I have a 350z and a gs300 the z runs needs a lot of maintenance the gs turns on but horrible throttle response they both need suspension work head to to interior and exterior work both cars need a whole make over. And it’s looking like 10k+ just to get both of them running good no issues and that just scratching the surface the goal is to boost them both or LS swap the z and boost the g. Rn tho I just don’t really have the money or time I’m thinking about selling them both and just getting a cool 8th gen for a daily or put the money towards the 340i they where my dream cars as a kid but now it’s like all the issues got me lost in the sauce. What do you think I should do or what advice would you give

[@leom00n79]

Hello. I am on the market for a brand new vehicle, I am thinking of 330i 2023 model. How is the reliability of 330i ???

[@BeamerView]

Above Average. The 3 Series is BMW's top selling vehicle so reliability is a must. Also the 2023 Model got a update which is great since it features new tech and many bug fixes and updates were made to it so that it would be more reliable!

[@OfficalVVClips]

should i get the 23' m340i?

[@BeamerView]

I would. I drive 8 takes some time getting use to but the car is going to be better overall

[@audized]

All of this is available on the 330 x drive. But without all the problems the 340 has had vs the 330 as of late as these cars hit the 2yr mark.

[@BeamerView]

330 I do agree is the more reliable and more cost effective one. I personally had one and felt it was enough power for the daily drives, it was the best commuter car.

[@davidalenick1246]

What problems does the 340 have that the 330 doesn’t?

[@davidalenick1246]

@@BeamerView I was unaware of what makes the 330 more reliable than the M340. Can you tell me? I’m very interested to know.

[@hugorx]

should i buy cheaper 2022 or wait for the new 2023 🤔

[@BeamerView]

Ahh I’d go with Newer, the Idrive 8 is a little wonky but the cars resale will be much higher

[@princekittipon6510]

I want to custom order 2022 version so bad

[@ginojoseph9955]

Does it hold its value?

[@BeamerView]

You’ll take the biggest hit the first year. But year 2 onwards it’ll hold value extremely well.

[@FollowSun]

@@lordhades9455 Yes, they are in the M3 as long as your don't get the carbon bucket seats

[@hugorx]

do you guys think its too small for daily with kids? brain says 540i but im curious bout m340i 😅

[@BeamerView]

It’s fine as long as the kids are toddlers. I would go with the m340i. 540i is good too but you won’t feel the same rush with the m340

[@iddicted]

You think the m440 should have the same reliability

[@BeamerView]

For sure. Same engine that’s been around for many years!

[@D10N1S101985]

I don’t think it’s worth the 25% extra cost over the 330i. It would be worth it if it was 10-15% more

[@BeamerView]

Great point!

[@davidalenick1246]

It is 10-15% more car. And if it’s a loaded 330 vs a loaded M340, the price diff isn’t that much.

[@Ratalala]

The Only option this one has, is Harman Kardon😳

[@BeamerView]

That’s a option that is scarce too these days ;)

[@kris157]

The new 2023 interior is so bad...less buttons means cheaper imo because now they just put a screen and it doesn't look right

[@BeamerView]

True, i've learned the best work around for it is voice command, it can now do things like open the window and of course the functions of the buttons!

[@Solo-5050]

This is one of my dream cars! Tbh the 2023 LCI refresh is a downgrade in every single aspect imo 🤷. Worse styling, no proper shifter and no physical buttons. No thanks! This is the best M340i 👌 👍.

[@BeamerView]

The shifter was my BIGGEST disappointment, I get that the lever is sleek and easy to use, but it should be more reserved for more of the economy cars, not fast ones like the M340I. My favorite was the 2020 M340i, it was the best sounding one of all time in stock.

[@igorcvetkovic2112]

omg man clean your floor mats haha

[@BeamerView]

Yess defnetly some mixed reviews on it, I do like the fact that the grille is still going to look normal-ish compared to the M3 and M4!

[@davidalenick1246]

Wish they kept the shifter and the physical buttons for climate, shortcuts, etc.

[@Postingam2]

I’m torn on it. I like the new gauges and infotainment system but the shifter is odd lol

[@ejreif]

I get that the new infotainment screen has a lot more screen real estate but it looks to me like someone just dropped a miniature widescreen gaming monitor on the dash and called it good. I much prefer the integrated look of the old infotainment screens.

[@nathanielordonez2257]

@@ejreif I agree. And idk why they kept the same infotainment in the new m3 but changed the m340i smh. I hope they don’t make it electric:(

Forgot to clean my shoes ;)

[@xFlared]

It's 2022. M340i came out 2 years ago. You cannot rate reliability of a car that's not even 3 years old. Come back in 10 years.

Incorrect, the B58 engine was introduce in 2015 in the F30 340i. So that's 7 years of refining and fine tuning. Extremely reliable and hardly any issues.
