So interesting hearing how different the options packages and standard items are on US vs UK cars. I.e adaptive suspension is standard on UK cars... but the base price here starts at £49k so it’s more expensive than a base US car! I ordered my M340i xDrive at the end of July and it’s due in December. I went nearly fully loaded, l but avoided the comfort access, power tailgate, driver assistance pro and parking pro options. I spec’d an individual colour (San Marino Blue) and an individual white merino leather interior too. Look forward to more content!
I picked my M340iXD up last week (UK). Totally love it. I got tech, comfort & visibility packages. Got an independent to add tint to the rear windows and wrap the grill (shadow pack with out the black wheels). It’s a total pleasure to drive and for being a mini M car the performance is impressive. I’ve been looking at a remap and a reputable company can get 500bhp / 700Nm for £600. IMO that’s well worth the money. Just need to see how it affects the warranty. The US and UK must spec different as remote start is not available in the UK
I love that blue, just ordered my 2021 M340i in that blue - though with cognac interior (which is what I have on my mediterranean blue 540i thats coming off lease. I ordered mine Shadowline and with the 19" black wheels - I am so looking forward to how it will look compare to your - oh I did red-brake calibers to contrast the blue. My ordered car came in close to your MSRP heh, just a smidge higher. I love your videos! Can't wait for my car to be delivered in about 6 weeks. (and I skipped the suspension)
My 2016 340i in jersey is rwd, and love it. I personally will not get lane assistance, traffic jam assistance. I like the sound system, interior, head up display, rwd,
The 330 xdrive Msport was custom ordered, made sure to have the Adaptive suspension, shadowline package, summer tires, 360 camera, laser lights, M-sport blue brakes, power liftgate all in BMW Excellence package, have not looked back except for optional LSD for the 330. M340 with the same specs unfortunately out of my budget...
My M340i will be delivered on Wednesday. I have portimao blue, oyster leather seats, black matte wood, 19” cerium gray wheels, executive package, driving assistance pro package, parking assistance package, HK, remote engine start, M adaptive (adjustable) suspension, wireless charging, front&rear heated seats. $69K MSRP, lease is $792/month
Did you order your options online or pick the car off the lot? I was one of the first to get M340xi in the EC April order from Germany and did not have as much options as u have and I pay that amount 😤😤. Note to self wait, just freaking wait.
Thanks for your comments. Really interested to hear about your lease deal, I’m in the process of negotiation with the dealer, trying to figure out how low I can go
I assume the lease deals will get better since the car has been out for a year. my deal in June was $595 a month with tax, 12k miles a year for 36 months with $5k out of pocket
Not awesome right now, although I haven’t hardcore negotiated yet- 10k miles, 36 mo for a 62k model 5000 down (which covers tax and down) gets $613/mo. Not on the lot tho, ordering= less leverage
Love my M340i. UK Spec is slight different packages with as @Simoney says... e.g Tech Pack comes with Head Up and Harmon Kardon. I have Mineral Grey with the Black grille, tail pipes and wheels. Noticed too in the drive selector in your clip you don't have Adaptive drive button. This selects the optimum drive e.g. Eco, Comfort and sport depending on what your throttle use is and also what the camera / Nav system tells the car about the road.
Wanted to get your opinion on something. Currently with my budget either I could go for new G80 m3 , 2018 718 Cayman GTS or used F80 m3. Which one would you go for?
What's your goal/needs with the car? Definitely go and drive them all if you are able to. The Cayman is going to feel much different than the M3. Also, are you talking the 4.0L GTS or the 2.5L turbo? Do you need back seats? What about the M2 Comp that's more the size of a Cayman if you need a back seat but want something smaller than the M3?
If you don't need a back seat and are ok with the 4 cylinder sound I would go Cayman GTS. Handling is amazing and much lighter than any M3, not as fast though. Are the roads more open where you live? or are they tight roads with a lot of turns like they are here
Glenn right up front you made one mistake. The B58 is a twin scroll turbo. Not a twin turbo. That’s only on the S58. Hope to see you at the next two M Gruppe events on 10/24 and 10/31.
Since you begged so hard for comments....get to the point quicker and ignore the construction/noise or other distractions! Brevity is the soul of whit. You have a nice personality, but get to the point immediately after your long lead-in music. Thank you for the video.
Possible if you would tell me a guess on what my monthly payment would be I make ,$2848 a month the M340I I want cost 46k? I have a trade in vehicle that is worth 7k would they still release the car to me with no down payment and also I would have a co-signer because my credit is a little jacked up the co-signer credit is around 710( disclaimer I have no other expenses the only thing the money would be going to is my car
Not sure, credit will determine your interest rate which will effect your payment. Try to get your own financing from your bank, credit union, etc this way you can make sure you are not overpaying at the dealership.
I think driver assistance pro is too steep and not worth it.. I would get the black w blue stitching leather, parking ,premium, shadowline,powertailgate, Harmon, front and rear heat, all season jet black wheels and red calipers and wireless charger
Too many options added I prefer the way the M2 is set up with most of these features standard with only several choices. That’s just my opinion. Plus the price is better and you avoid unnecessary packages and options.

Hi Simoney, thanks for subscribing, more M340i videos to come. Love that San Marion Blue
That is a beautiful car. I had one of these as a loaner car while my X3 was in the shop. It was so much fun.
It really is!
I would add shadowline package as a must have for the 2021 version.
That's good if you like black wheels. To me that makes them disappear so I don't like it.

Shadowline is overrated.. Cirium grey is more distinctive
Thank you for this. I've been looking for a simple breakdown of options on the 3 series - can't make my mind up. Love the channel!!
Glad to help!
Great video as always. Thanks Glenn!
Thanks. is this Matt from NEDC ?

Excellent review. My BMW had the HK Stereo system and I can’t imagine not having it in a BMW
Good point
My 2016 340i in jersey is rwd, and love it.
I personally will not get lane assistance, traffic jam assistance.
I like the sound system, interior, head up display, rwd,
Nice. Wish I had rwd
your whip is a beast love the paint
Thanks the color is amazing
Great choice for a daily
thank you
I have one I like all the options except the power lift gate.
Good point

I don't have the adaptive suspension. I wish I did
Although I have Adaptive Suspension, adaptive drive is different. It is selected as you do with Sport, comfort and eco. My X3 has it too
Beautiful car
I love it

@@GlennsCarCollection I’m texas so it’s mostly open roads
Just to clarify this car is not twin turbo but rather "twin charge turbo". It's just a single turbo but twin scroll.
You are correct
Is there a particular salesperson you worked to get a great lease deal?
Ask for the Sales Manager, Stephen Hourican.
Glenn right up front you made one mistake. The B58 is a twin scroll turbo. Not a twin turbo. That’s only on the S58. Hope to see you at the next two M Gruppe events on 10/24 and 10/31.
What events? I didn't get an invite
@@GlennsCarCollection check the M Gruppe fb events page. Both local on 10/24 and 10/31.
Yeah correct SINGLE turbo twin scroll

thank you for your comment
Do you have a video where you park with the 360 degree camera?
No, but I will
@@GlennsCarCollection thanks. The technology is so high level in this car as always from BMW
How do feel about adaptive suspension ? Noticed you didn’t get it .
Lol you talk about it at the end of video thanks .🤣
you're welcome

I think driver assistance pro is too steep and not worth it.. I would get the black w blue stitching leather, parking ,premium, shadowline,powertailgate, Harmon, front and rear heat, all season jet black wheels and red calipers and wireless charger
Nice spec !

Yes, I loved that my M2 had everything with just one option, Executive package. M2 is bargain for standard features/options
@@GlennsCarCollection - I like the new M2Comp but the back end looks ugly with the large silver muffler or gas tank hanging low and very visible!
Did you buy this from park ave ?
No, BMW of Tenafly. Their prices were the best
all, yes, all 340/m340 missing one important feature: vented seats. Its reserved only for 2021/2022 M3. Pathetic.
sorry to hear that
why is your video so choppy? very low frame rate
