Facelift of the G20 M340i! Huge thanks to Ridge for sponsoring this video! Visit ridge.com/rbr and use code “RBR” for 10% off!!
The #BMW 3er has had a big update in the LCI, pushed hard by its rivals in the areas of tech specifically, the 3 Series is fighting back! It’s a massively important car for BMW and the world, as the #cars that introduced us to the idea of a sporty small sedan. Hence, it stands as the best selling BMW since its introduction in 1975 - pretty much the cornerstone of the Ultimate Driving Machine. Last time we explored the full history of the 3 Series from its origins with the 02 Series, E21, E30 and all the way to the new G20 - but today is all about the facelift or LCI!
The G20 current gen has been the best selling 3 Series of any generation so far. Unsurprising, as it does the job of the ultimate driving machine with more tech and better appointment than ever before. CLAR platform is more rigid than any before it, lighter too, with a great 50/50 weight distribution and real focus on aero with active flaps and a covered under carriage.
LCI of our G20 focuses on tech and aesthetic, rather than performance and dynamics. As a whole, the 3 Series gets a tonne of engine choices, like plug ins with the 320e / 330e with an electric range of around 30 miles - and huge combined mileage! Or the simple 318 and 320 4 cylinder petrol engines; and finally 330d mild hybrid diesels with 48v assistance too!
But for us today, it’s about #BMWM power. And we’re returning to the M340i XDrive here in New colour of frozen tanzenite blue! And a lovely frozen pure grey 2 340i Touring!
Power is unchanged from the six cylinder B58 at 374BHP and 500NM - but interestingly the 0-60 is faster at 4.1 seconds, and I can’t seem to work out what they’ve changed to achieve that! Perhaps it’s the only change here, which is the addition of 48V mild hybrid - which gives a boost of 8 kW/11 hp when needed, much like most mild hybrids we’ve seen from AMG too.
The car also maintains the 8-speed Steptronic transmission, with a xDrive which is rear biased and comes standard with the M Sport differential in the UK. Also standard in the UK is the Shadowline trim, satin aluminium is an option. “M Sport Package Pro” is another option that comes standard in the UK. This gives black details on the grille and pipes, shadow line lights, red calibers and a black spoiler.
Design is a big upgrade here for me: a very M5 looking sports sedan! Whole new front is the best bit with a muscular design and bigger air inlets; lights really help. Rear is changed, though a little strange to me really looking quite i40 like. You can go even further with M performance parts, all detailed in the video!
Interior is a huge change, and they had to do it with the C Class now raising the bar. So the 3er gets the BMW Curved display at 12.3 inches, and the excellent new series 8 operating system. Fully customisable driver zone too, and dashboard now with slimmer air vents and much bigger carbon fiber trim. A big disappointment for me however, is the gear selector: reduced to a crappy tiny knob much like the Golf 8 or 911. Huge shame, and I don’t see BMW M following suit in the M3. FYI: our car today is well spec’d and comes with Comfort plus pack and Tech pack.

AAMOF, I have been a HUGE fan of the M4 CSL since it was announced in 2022 and had no idea of some of the details you explained. New subscriber and huge fan! Thanks!

Got my 330i LCI a few weeks ago to replace my 2019 330i and I love the touchscreen controls and the new look, I can honestly say, hand on heart, the controls are not an issue at all, the buttons are easy to find, huge and at basically eye-level. Plus a screen is easier to wipe clean compared to physical buttons, the car just feels clean and modern inside.

Your reviews keep getting better and better and are among the most thoughtful and educational on line. I’ve always loved BMWs and have had many and still have one, but I really don’t like the plastic looking design of the grille, fake exhaust sound, and tailpipe that is not connected to the exhaust. Also the tacked on tv screen always looks like an aftermarket thing. I also agree about the steering feel. Lots of issues but they still make a great car overall. Just hard to understand some of the decisions. Thank you for all of the hard work and your amazing tech in presentation.

I drive a w205 C63S right now, and though I'll never sell it because it's the last of it's kind, I probably would move it to the garage and let the 340i become my daily driver.

The app menu is too colorful, looks like a cheap aftermarket infotainment, but that is what Chinese market wants. Also, the absence of oil temp in the new idrive 8 is a big disappointment, especially in the M performance car where you expect that to be in the system. Plus all those fake pops and bangs 💀

LCI looks stunning. Great exterior update. However, interior is something to be desired. It looks sharp, well built, and very functional to compete against new tech cars. The gear selector being a nub, does suck, especially since it still has so much space around it. The biggest interior con for me, has to do with marketing. The elimination of the hard buttons, for climate, for things like heated seats, it not only takes away from the intuitiveness, it allows for price gouging. They now going to make you subscribe to pay monthly for use of heated seats, lol. This is a great channel btw, very good reviews, thank you!

I have an i4 e40 msport and while I like iDrive 8 well enough, I don’t like that the speedometer and power (tachometer in M340i) are pushed to the sides. The too thick msport wheel blocks my view of these gauges. My Audi S4 has the perfect digital dash layout: centrally located round tachometer with digital speed in the center and gear position. One glance straight down conveys all the information. Too bad Audi dropped that with the later B9 refresh. I wonder if aftermarket boffins could offer digital display reprogramming.

Have a 22 m340 now and lease is up end of this year. Not sure exactly what to do but your point at 14:25 with the gear selector being deleted is really upsetting to me. I use it constantly and rest my hand on it. 3 bmw’s over 10 years. Always used it. I can probably get used to the electronics in the screen and no shortcut buttons or climate control buttons. But the gear selector idk. Seems like theyre trying to get people like us to upgrade to an m3/m4 to keep it

Worth mentioning that in the UK, all new M340is are being built in Mexico, not Munich. All special paints are only available if built in Munich. So basically the Frozen Tanzanite Blue is not available in the UK.

By far the best looking 3 series in many many years. No crazy shapes for the sake of it, no hideous face like its big brother. This is what BMW did so well decades ago. Classic simplicity before they passed the mantle to Audi. The only let downs are that naff cheap screen and the stupid Golf gear selector. These massive screens are cheap to make vs a proper instrument cluster and the only reason cars are all now headed in this direction.Its not progress even though they would all have you believe it is. Its cost cutting.

Shame they dropped the 320i in North America. It was a very nice car, even with that base motor it was quick and fun.

Trying to decide between this and the M440i Coupe! I love how the Coupe looks, but the M340i is more practical and somehow is cheaper? Plus iDrive 8 isn't in the 4-series yet

I have the previous model; love it! I’d take my car’s exterior with the new screen and would be thrilled; it’s not the size of the screen but the colors/detail. Hate the removal of the shifter; where do you rest your right hand? Stupid. Like every car, none are perfect for everyone; which I was a car designer. I’d pay a ton for a frozen color and carbon fiber in the US, not available
