The BMW M340i is our perfect formula for a sports sedan. It's great to look at, is blisteringly quick, comfortable, and incredibly efficient. We think you should have one.

This is hands down the best car in the segment. The M340i is near perfection now. Hope they don't mess it up with the next generation.

I mean... B58. 'nuff said. Everyone that drives these cars walks away wanting one. The car is engineered so well, but the engine is definitely the star of the show.

BMW is making some amazing cars right now. Sure, styling has been polarizing on some, but I think we're in a golden age with ICE vehicles... especially considering the B58.

Thing is, it seems to be working the ugly 4-Series is still selling in big numbers. The 7 is off to a big start. The X7 facelift is selling like hotcakes. Then again the iX isn't selling that good and we'll have to see how the XM does. New 5 Series debuts next month. Fingers crossed on the looks.

Great review guys, enjoyed watching it! One thing, you said you can't disable the fake sound but as I recall it from some other clip, you can and it's called Iconic Sound IIRC and hidden under some not fully logical menu somewhere. I have one of these on order myself but the Touring and I'm so much looking forward to having it delivered. Still a few months away unfortunately, would have loved being able to enjoy it during the summer season!

@AP-cc1uw 10 ай бұрын

Love the point you made about the M340i being closer to a traditional "M" car than the current generation M3. It's the same with the M550i. M cars from a a couple decades ago were simply performance oriented versions of already sporty luxury sedans, they were NOT track monsters. Totally agree, outside of the novelty factor, unless you are tracking weekly or perhaps bi-weekly, or unless you have 2-3 cars in your garage, the M340i or M550i is the way to go. *** minor to point to make, it's pronounced Mel"burn" red.

For me I chose the 2024 M340i with adaptive suspension to have a smoother ride when I want but the potential for better performance in the B58 drive train. Living in Socal I didn’t op for X drive since inclement weather is few and far between here plus not having the loss in an awd transmission. Wish the seats had vented a/c. This is my wife’s car but she says I act like it’s my car from obsessing on mods I want done and have done in the short time we’ve owned it. 😅

@myemailiscool Жыл бұрын

I'm biased as I have an LCI M340i, but it's worth every penny of $68k. It just feels so damn solid, and does everything well. If you don't get the leather or a few other options you can get low 60s. Not sure what else is available for that money, maybe the RS3 but that's smaller and very very hard to obtain. It's fairly priced for a car that's sub 4s 0-60 and still gives you the daily drivability.

@j_merlotte5467 Жыл бұрын

Jack - I own the new rs3... its a good bit more "special" than the m340... but that b58 and zf is just an incredible combo for driving on the street, in traffic, etc. You probably have the better all around car - great motor, great trans, great infotainment, high quality interior, great drivability, and looks good.

@faheemabbas3965 Жыл бұрын

@@j_merlotte5467 size-wise the RS3 is basically a Corolla than can do 180 mph lol, and like the other guy said, if I didn’t need rear seats that much then RS3 all day. Otherwise the BMW is a better all-around car. Although I’d get one CPO a year or two old since the price has a good drop after it’s driven a bit.

@myemailiscool Жыл бұрын

@@j_merlotte5467 ha funny enough once they told me my RS3 wouldn't go into production for another 10 months, I started to poke around and landed on the BMW. I always wanted the RS3 and would've been thrilled with it no doubt. Really there's no wrong decision. For pure specialness and rarity, the RS3 is king. They sell around 1500 per year iirc in the US, the only 5 cylinder left.

@ryanb8736 2 ай бұрын

I have an RS3, but would buy the 340 if the RS3 didn’t exist or if you need a larger car than the RS3. Both are amazing cars. So glad we have these two amazing cars these days.

I recently bought a new 2023 BMW M340i xDrive. It is a very enjoyable and fun driving machine. Except..... I hate the controls on this irritating car. Everything that you need to do you have to do through the center screen and many options are buried several layers deep. It is a horrible, lousy, poor, very difficult and time consuming design. Whoever designed this horrendous controls should be fired. I wish I knew these designs fault as I would have never bought this car. It is my fault. A big shame on BMW. Check these controls before you buy this model. You have been forewarned. Check everything thoroughly.
