Finally BMW makes something with enough power for a decent price. Ill be keeping a close eye on this when I trade in my Stinger GT2..

[@khkllvcr486]

Yeah I bought one and it does look great in the cockpit

[@verde629]

Didn’t like the LCI at first but man it looks really aggressive in black. Has that bmw look I always loved. Performance car wearing a business suit

[@boeingdriver29]

Great review. I currently drive a 2019 M2 Competition and was considering the new M2 but I’m not sold on the looks and here in Australia it’s $35,000 more than mine cost. Taking a M340i for a drive next week and hoping I really like it as fully optioned it’s $30,000 less than the M2. I’m 65 and this may be my last car purchase.

[@htttps809]

What are you go with sir?

[@kvallyx]

Thanks for the video. Great job. Only change I would make is the camera during the drive. It's too close to the headliner, hiding the view outside through the windshield as well as the instrument cluster. Otherwise, awesome video.

[@jbpad22]

Im just happy that it's not just a badge car...like other manufactures. BMW knocked it out of the park for building an "affordable" 4 door sport car. With the m3 increasing in price every year....Thank you for the review. Good Review.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

I recently placed an order for one of these. I test drove an M3 comp x drive fully intending to order one but really loved the balance between price, performance and comfort of the m340i. It feels more like a lower case M5 than a detuned M3. Going in with M3 budget let me fully option the m340 out with the addition of the m-sport exhaust and carbon fiber interior trim package as well.

[@gaminator6933]

What color interior/exterior combo did you get? Also, how much was your total after getting it speced out?

[@FastRedPonyCar]

@@gaminator6933 All in before tax, it's right at $73,500. I went with the Tacora red Vernasca leather interior. It's not a bright and in your face red. It's like a burgundy/wine red. Much more classy IMO but still unique and stands out. I was really surprised at how much nicer the vernasca leather feels compared to the sensatec. Sensatec feels like plastic in comparison. Really strange honestly because my Tesla I'm in right now (lease ends in a couple of months) has fake leather and it feels excellent. My wife's 2019 volvo SUV also has synthetic leather and it feels and looks great.

[@werdnaeel8533]

How did you order with the carbon fiber trim? I don’t see it anywhere on the website, and my dealer said it wasn’t available to order.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

@@werdnaeel8533 Nah they can order that. It's an optional part that is installed at port when the car is delivered. Same with the black badges and the M-sport exhaust. They can also include the (somewhat overpriced) carbon fiber lip, side skirts and spoiler as well as the alcantara m-sport steering wheel.

[@mizaellaremarshall3311]

They need an m3 with this front end🔥🔥🔥

[@AngelRodriguez-gd1jx]

Agree, I don’t like the new m2 (looks like a Lego build), m3 and m4 just because of the front end.

[@execatty]

[@steveelson2999]

I have a 2021 m340i, all I can say is OMG. No one needs anything more. For 65k nothing else comes close.

[@omegapsi847]

Great review! you mention the M240i at 23:40 , I agree this one definately has better handling and performance given the same power and less weight, but I immensely prefer the looks of the M340i. glad you made a POV-drive at the end, this is a must in a car review and I could really tell by your reaction how powerful the B58 is. if you can make it and circumstances allow it, a curvy road would be a perfect addition to test the handling performance and I am curious to know if the M340i is more than a straight line rocket.

[@WTFCRLT1]

The handling is really good in the M340i but unfortunately this dealership is basically in downtown Tampa and there just aren’t any curvy roads.. The best way I can test handling in this area is to just throw it into right hand turns without slowing down if nobody’s in front of me😂 but yeah this is an awesome car all around truly one of my favorites. Hopefully I can get my hands on the M240 next!

[@yujie1973]

i took delivery of 2023 M240i about a few weeks ago. Compared with this M340i, i actually prefer my M240I for more sporty look due to its shape and new design. The back end grows quite a bit on me. I think i get it now. The rear looks very good and aggressive when the car is driving. When it's stationary, it might not look good. I got the red leather interior with Alpine white exterior. Handling is actually pretty good and the acceleration is amazing.

[@davidzvezda]

Great review . Same colour i would get and similar spec. Btw Hk setup is 16 speakers, not 10. M240 i xdrive is only around 150 lbs lighter then m340

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks David! You’re right the M240x drive is very close in weight I must’ve been thinking of the 230i but I was referring to the base system which is 10 speakers but this had the $875 Harmon Kardon system. Glad you liked the vid man!

[@Mr.Lambert777]

I love this car, I went with a 23 x3M40i, same exterior color with the 699M jet black wheels , hi performance tires, but I am trying to figure out why BMW went with the 255 for rear tires, why not 265 or 275 rear. Does the RWD spec m340i comes with wider tires ?

[@WTFCRLT1]

The 2022 M340i I reviewed last year was RWD and had the same tire dimensions.. that was one of my biggest head scratchers but with the sticky tires and M Differential, it still puts the power down very well. X3 M40i is also one of my favorites man good luck with the car!👍🏼

[@Mr.Lambert777]

@@WTFCRLT1 oh really ? Why that’s impressive. Thanks man. I appreciate it. I ordered my x3 with the M differential. I don’t have it just yet, they’re still building on it. My good friend who works at the manufacturer in SC told me that the vehicle would be finished building this coming up Tuesday. I hope to get Yokoh tires, or Michelins. 😁

[@misterdragzon]

It’s strange. My friend’s M240i has 245 front and 275 rear with the tire package.

[@Yukon6255]

The industry has been like this forever regardless of brand. For example cars start there new yearly cycle in the summer usually, meaning a car built in August of 2022 will be a 2023 model. I've seen recently GM and BMW factorys will shut down for a week in the summer to get ready for next years models. I just bought a M3 and if I remember correctly they shutdown there GERMAN factory in July 2022 for a week or so to get ready for 2023 models. My car was built August 1, 2022 as a 2023 model. It does seem strange for a car built in 2022 to be 2023 car but its normal.

[@JohnUSA7]

I own this great driving 2023 BMW M340i xDrive. I love driving this car very much, it is a fun car to drive. But ... I hate the new controls on this car as everything you must do is thru the center screen, and I mean everything. This is very dangerous as the driver must take their eyes off the road to change or do whatever they need to do and as every control is layers deep it takes time and long effort to do the changes. Whoever designed this horrible and dangerous system should be fired. BMW must change this terrible and unfriendly dangerous system ASAP. I made a mistake buying this car. If you are thinking about buying this model car do yourself a huge favor and check these very dangerous shortcomings BEFORE you buy it. You can thank me later.

[@HC1]

If it were an electric opening trunk it would also be electric closing, this is just spring loaded. 💀

[@Mano_421]

The m3 is way faster I drove the m340i the other day It’s not fast its quick enough but it had a lot of body roll around the corners I personally didn’t find it that sporty. The one I drove didn’t have adaptive suspension so maybe that’s why

This car is nice, just not worth the price. Excellent review btw. Don't think I could dish out over $55k for a fully loaded model. The model 3 performance is equivalent to the M3 in terms of performance, yet this costs more. There are better options on the market.
