BMW 340i Test Drives | Car Shopping

- I drove two different versions of the F30 BMW 340i. One of them xDrive and the other RWD. The B58 engine felt great, although incredibly underpowered in its stock form.

I like the white one with the m performance exterior accents. Xdrive does put power down tho especially when tuned. But RWD is better in every other way.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. The white also has 10k less miles.
I’ll vote for the black one. At the end of the day you don’t need the touch screen what’s so ever. And cuz this will be your daily, I’d say go with the xdrive just to be safe (now that even Texas can have snowstorms)
Yeah the biggest issue I had with my last car was putting power down with RWD. And with this car I plan on making 100 more hp and torque than the last one.
I think I would pick the white one, since xdrive adds quite a lot of weight to the car so even if you have xdelete it will still most likely feel quite a bit less fun than the rwd model. On the other hand, if you want straight line performance and the extra road capability xdrive offers, you could also choose the black one.
Yeah there are definitely advantages to both. Generally I do prefer cars that feel better in the corners.
Xdrive only adds 200lbs max. No different than having a passenger in the car
Nice video bro, I’ll go for the black one bcz of the Xdrive💙
Xdrive all the way. Also of course a tune car would beat the 340. But mind you with basic fbo your 340 could make alot of horsepower. The B58 engine is just a Beast.
Yeah the 340i with stage 2+ is making over 500 torque. Thats the reason I decided to sell the 335i even though I really liked that car.
The blue brakes are upgraded MSport brakes, M Performance Big Brake kit only comes in Red, Orange, and Yellow. I know because I ordered it from the M catalogue and had it upgraded to my 340i after purchase. You were right, it was very expensive!
How are the M performance brakes?
@@NWAuto they're great! No brake fade and they have good bite. If you get them make sure to get BMW to code it to your car.
@@justsomecanadian Is your car also tuned? I feel like I'm gonna need them after I pass the 500hp mark
@@NWAuto not yet, it's still on warranty so when it goes off warranty I plan on getting a tune.
I personally would take the xdrive over the rwd, I currently own the 340i RWD and I tend to regret not getting the xdrive.
That makes sense. I'm trying to make some big power and its always raining where I live.
@@NWAuto yeah man, I’m going to tell you, I have gotten a Stage BM3 2, stage 3 XHP Tramsmission tune, fully straight piped with a VSRF Catless downpipe, and she’s pushing some HEAVY power. If you want to be one of the fastest out there, pull the trigger on the Xdrive for sure.
@@bavarianbuilds5217 do you know what kind of power numbers you're making?
@@bavarianbuilds5217 what's your tire setup in the rear
I'd go with the xdrive cause awd is better to me especially since I live in the north. Awd is also better for dig/races to me
Thats what I was thinking. My last car struggled for traction sometimes.
@@NWAuto yeah man if I were you I'd get an xdrive all wheel drive 340.
I just got a black 320i 2017 gotta say the car is pretty nice very good in shape and has low mileage
No way I was gonna check out this exact 340 xdrive tomorrow🤣
Well the white one sold and the black one is still there for now.
Rwd. Add interior bits you want. About $1500 for the bits I saw in the video. You could hold out for another grey metallic...the white is nice too. Especially with a dark window tint and black wheels. I don’t know about lowering the x-drive cars. They sit higher stock as it is. They are heavier and have more parts to fail. $$$
If you drive like a sissy and want the security of AWD and only care about straight line performance....ha, just a joke folks, don’t cry 🤣😂🤣
Unfortunately I just found out the RWD one sold. If the xDrive one doesn't sell then I'll probably buy that. Or else I'll just have to keep looking. But I can't find any other 340i with the M performance brakes. I checked all of Oregon and Washington. I might have to look at other states.
@@NWAuto hold out for the next one... it will show up! I know the market is weird, demand and all.... I have faith tho.
@@curtisduning1891 I'm looking every day. I might have to go out of state though. I don't see any others with the M performance brakes in Oregon or Washington.
I'm in the market for a 2018 340i xDrive
Thats what I have now. Great car. The car market just isn't great right now
Can’t u just change the g80 front end for a custom piece?
There are some companies who said they are working on new front bumpers.
Why not look for one out of state? Don’t limit yourself to just these two
X2
Yeah thats what I'm gonna have to do. I just found out the white one sold. And this black one is now the only one I can find within 300 miles of me with M performance brakes.
Ill pick the Xdrive
Xdrive all day .
The RWD one sold so it might have to be xDrive.
Go for the Black!
I’m looking for the 340i xdrive 6speed manual but can’t seem to find it anywhere
Yeah those are tough to find. And they are always really expensive
@@NWAuto quick question tho how do you tune those cars ? I know you can do the MHD which is easy to do but what about when you go to dyno how does your tuner dyno your car if it’s on my phone
@@aviannamartinez1611 the tune is stored on the cloud. So tuners can access it remotely
I would get a 2018 with digital dash and 6 speed manual
Id say it’s all depends on the seasons🤣 like I’m CT so I had to have a awd. I had a rwd 335i stage 2+ and that thing would break loose when there wasn’t any snow
What tires you ran on your 335
@@onuohafamily I want to Goodyear eagles 265s then ended up picking up the hankook ventus v2 I think and they broke loose crazy but I also think I was running a kill map damn near all the time
White bro it’s so nice
Black X-Drive!
Don’t do x delete. It’s gonna fuck up the drive shaft on the awd
Dam. Did that happen to yours?
@@NWAuto No. but it weakens the driveshaft and it snaps. cause you’re converting AWD to just the 2 back tires working lol
@@khoa2k123 I heard this was debunked and not true
@@khoa2k123dont think it does, ik a guy who has a 340i i tode in thats tuned to 600hp and he uses xdelete i watched him do a burnout before doing dig/roll races
How much is a good 320i sedan in black in the US? With 60k miles? Nice Content btw!
Maybe around $15,000 depending on year and options.
Yeah here in Germany too. Tough because of Corona the prices get even higher. What i dont like is over here most of the cars (70%) are Wagon and Diesel
Do you have knowledge about the F30 320i is it reliable? For that price one could get an E class w212 wich is way better when you ask me but i just like the F30 Front it looks so aggressive
@@HAWKyqP The 320i with the N20 engine had a recall related to the timing chain guide. BMW should fix that problem for you. Other than that I don't know too much about it. I knew people with that car who run Bootmod3 or MHD tunes and don't have any issues with them.
Alpine white all day
And I have a a black f30 335
@@kamiloojeda5792 Yeah I like the color a lot. But unfortunately I just found out it sold.
I would choose the Bimmer :)
i would go for the xdrive just because. but please stop comparing a stage1 tuned 355 vs a stock 340 that just dont make sense.. start comparing it when you buy the 340 and stage 1 tune it..
Yeah the xDrive would be nice. And people asked me how a stage 1 335i compares to a stock 340i. I had to answer the question.
Get the black, just get rid of that wheel gap!
Yeah can't have that nasty wheel gap.
be careful bro, you must have nearly hit 25mph in that last clip!
A 335 and 340 are only 10hp difference, but line up 2 tuned 335 and 340 lol 340i is smoking the 335.
Yeah thats why I sold my 335i. It was a really nice car with no issues and only 63k miles. But I felt like I'd be better off starting the modification process all over with a 340 than continuing to upgrade the N55.
i would get a f80
The prices on the F80 got crazy high after the pandemic started. I'll probably get one of those later on.
RWD. 🔥🔥🔥
White! multiple reasons... its white, less mile on it, better wheels, better brakes...
just read your comment, its sold :(
@@whiplife3456 yeah the white was nicer. I hope I can find another like it.
Drive manual u morrons
You ain't finding one in my area. Or if you do it will cost way more than the auto
Damn sorry to hear that
I wouldnt drive auto even if its porsche...
@@goshu9718 Yeah trust me I wish mine was manual
