@DMCarReviews Discounts? Where on earth are you getting discounts for an 2024 M340i, show me. MSRP for for the M340i is $60K, no BMW dealer near me sells one for less than $65K, so yeah, a "hyundai" is a better bang for the buck especially the warranty. 60K mile complimentary service (oil and filter changes free).100K miles drive train warranty and + extended 60k ($4500ish) miles on top of that. My previous 2015 RCF had 159,000 miles until I sold it. I also paid a $600 60K mile warranty on rims and tire warranty. New tire for no question asked if nail got in it and curb rash on rims.

The screens remind me of my work from home setup in this car, with two clunky rectangle monitors, and the gauge displays are too cartoonish (and not as easy to read when driving hard), seemingly just to look different. I’ll be in the minority here I’m sure, but give me classic functionality over unusual instrument readout design. Analog all day for me! 4.5sec to 60 is plenty fast for me, considering I commute to a corporate job, not a drag strip. 😊

Then in 2021 the M340i also received the 48v mild hybrid system which is an 11hp boost though they still rate the engine at 382hp. Fuel economy did improve in the real world and there’s basically no turbo lag and the engine stop/start is very smooth. The X3 M40i received the same 382hp mild hybrid setup in 2022. I have a 2021 M340i XDrive and a 2023 X3 M40i XDrive.

It's not a second faster. First of all, if you floor both of them from idle (no launch), the M340i will beat an M3 RWD on the 0-60 with ease, and will be even with an M3 xDrive, maybe even get the initial jump advantage due to the electric motor and quicker spool. The only case where the M3 xDrive has a better time is from launch, but the difference is a little over half a second. Here are BMW times. M340i Sedan 4.4 sec M340i xDrive Sedan 4.1 sec M3 4.1 sec M3 Competition Sedan 3.8 sec M3 Competition xDrive Sedan 3.4 sec Hope this helps! Cheers.
