@Samsung Galaxy S7 We certainly support wireless charging in most BMW models in 2019. We are happy that wireless charging is suitable for you and your friend support it 😁
@Samsung Galaxy S7 & BMW 3 Series G20 What are you two discussing about here? I believe its the human beings that decide what phone we want and what car we want, and what car/phone integration we want as well. 🤣
This M340i is the one to have. The 2.0litre powered 320i (181bhp) and 330i (255bhp) feel a little underpowered to me. And they both don't sound that good at all either. The 382bhp straight six in the M340i is powerful enough and sounds awesome too.
How come it looks like Carwow is the only publication doing these type of performance comparisons? What are the rest doing? This isn't even in the UK and was probably shot during the media drive for the new 3 Series. Quite a privilege to be allowed to do this test so early on.
James N It’s been discussed. They could have built their own car, but would have been 120k plus like GTR. With GTR poor sales, Toyota decided not to. You can’t build a limited car with a bespoke chassis and engine for only that one particular model cheap. Shared platforms bring cost down.
the new M cars are going to be fast as hell. You should race the new BMW m3 (when it comes out) vs. an old supercar like the Lexus LFA, Lambo murcielago etc... it will be crazy to see a saloon beating these kind of cars
im not a huge bmw-fan, but the new m340i xdrive looks soooooo damn good. it's the perfect sedan too. nice performance, straight6, all wheel drive, good exhaust notes, comfortable, high quality interior... you simply can't go wrong with such a timeless, beautiful ride ;)
Ehh. I don't want an all wheel drive BMW. BMWs are fun because of weight balance and rwd handling. Xdrive just makes the car more nose heavy and have understeer tendencies.
LightBox Hell No !! AMG cars have Mercerdes top performance engines. And every AMG model only have 2 numbers ie S63 AMG, E63S AMG. Don’t let fakers play you !! Lol
Can you please make a drag video on the following vehicles. 1. Latest M340i sedan 2. Latest C43 sedan 3. Latest Genesis G80 4. Latest KIA Stinger 5. Latest Audi S4
I was just watching old carwow videos until this popped up and I pressed the video immediately. Pls do more car reviews mat and fun drag races. This however was not that great. Review the model 3 tesla and many other more suvs. Keep up the good work
The M Performance cars of BMW are so good this days, so close to the full M cars in terms of power, look, handeling. If you don't go to track days and you want the nicest setting available, more exclusive than the standard setting cars but you don't want the FULL M's with the even better chassis => go for it!
It's a good test .M2 competition is everyones choice .but m340i is also good .i would it is a teaser for M3 and M4 with over 500hp I guess that will be fun .
BMW turning in to TVR with every car just being fast. The problem is there is little ceiling for the m cars when a run of the mill 340i will do 12.5 1/4 stock.
This is only the "M-performance" 340i. Imagine what an M3 would do with the new B58 derived M engine (the last F82 M3 had a S55 which was derived from the N55 block).
0:49 turn captions on. Thank me later.
zaid kadri hahahahaha
Lol
OMG LOL
Thank you xD
HAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!
Wow that M2 Competition had a really good start. They finally found a good driver
He was a racing driver 😉
It's a pace car so the person driving it probably knows what he's doing. I will speculate that it's the track safety car does anyone know?
No not even, he's okay.. could've gotten a better one

A wholesome comment
I think the BMW will win

theyre both bmw

M340i or M2 Competition? That's a tough one.
Either way, the M340i is due in our showroom for late summer and we're very excited!
M2 comp
M2 comp has a horrible sound that twin turbo ruined everything
The normal m2 sounds much better
PPF ruined everything
A.P You haven’t got a clue and clearly don’t own an M car 🤣🤣🤣🤣
M2 competition anyday!
It's the perfect size and has stick shift!
It was 50%/50% in the instagram poll, and in fact they finished at the same time lol
It doesn't matter which BMW is faster, I just love both cars. 😍
Me to m2😘😘
M2 actually got off the line first
And that's only the 340i... What will the M3/M4 will be indeed? 😮😲🤯
Wilfried BEUGRE To answer your question: It will be better.
You are welcome.
Jakub Kurzawa ahahahahahaha thay is precisely what happens
0-60 of 3.5 I imagine
Remap the M340i and you have a very capable weapon.
@@KurzawaJakub wait the m340i uses the b58?
Wasn’t even aware anyone was testing the m340i yet.
and the fact it was pretty much with the M2 comp., just imagine how wild the upcoming M3/M4 will be.
I would choose the BMW!
Lol😂
Yeah but which one?
Roberto Lombardi the bmw
Roberto Lombardi not the base model 😂
Yea same, BMW is such a bad car, I'm gonna go with BMW instead.
Can't wait to see the new M3 and M4
I bet you don't want to ever look at them now that they are out.
This comment aged like fine wine
@@cendris123 lmao
That silencer box on the M2 exhaust looks ridiculous! Haha damn!
euro emissions cause that
And sound is bad aswell
Looks nice. Much better then fake in audi
Pan Tadeusz My RS3 is all real sound. Nothing fake added inside. That’s the one thing that bugs me with the M2. Fake sound inside.
What Box you mean?

Rather have the 340i. Baby recaro seat in the back job done!
Agreed! 340i xDrive is perfect for me. Not a purist BMW due to xDrive but for real world use in the UK it's perfect + great engine and practicality.
@@milinddixit6583 - Bang on
Honestly if you want the extra power just remap it with a tune and you got yourself one heck of a fun car!
@@antoniocampos6627 - Remap for best performance in a daily car is a bad idea. Better off with a chip box. Don't risk over-heating the engine.
uzzie88 I have a Dinan S1 on mine and though it’s not an ECU flash, just a piggyback, it still makes it feel a whole lot faster
I have BELIEF in the M340i!
Can't believe how close that was. That 340 was quick 😊
M340i touring is looking very appealing for my next car!
That is the definition of close! I really, really love the M2 but damn that 340i is tempting me!
BMW = Be Mat Watson
Mat, again great video bro!!! People love you. Keep up the good work and just dont stop 👍🏻
2:15AM, carwow posts a video. *watches like a boss*

Omg Matt right now there was a carwow advertisment in germany omg !!! So happy finaly 😍🙏
No fluff straight to the point is why I love this channel. I can even tolerate the British accent
Carwow has the best car comparing videos
The best channel for good car comparisons and review
I can’t WAIT to see the new M3 and M4. I have a 2018 M4 and will CERTAINLY be purchasing the next M4 whenever it releases!
Did you get one?
Not a fair comparison. Dct with warm tires would have won the offline battle.
If only the Supra got that 382hp version of that engine.
Supra should have gotten a twin turbo V12
@@_Ambition124 nah fuck it how about a W16 quad turbo for the supra
If only Toyota hadn't gotten lazy by designing and building their own car in Japan to fill the shoes of the Mark 4 Supra.

Great paint pattern on the 340i
It’s a wrap
can't wait the next M3😍
BMW just turning out these little mini supras
.. Love the sound of turbo inline 6s
NEVER CLICKED SO FAST
gonna drive M340i tomorrow from Hannover to Stuttgart, will shoot few video and upload here
Excellent stuff, that was close and the different factors like damp in parts track the different transmissions etc made that nice and exciting. 👍👍👍👍👍
Actually a good job of the M340i, because it's not even a real M car!
Great Video. In the drag race from stand still the M340i started on wet surface and the M2 on the dry part.
Ohhh yess, Matt and Carwow with drag race, a good way to start your day👌
that video is fired
'Gives a hint of how good the M3 and M4 will be' - only if they make them Xdrive too! Switchable 4WD/RWD please.
im not a huge bmw-fan, but the new m340i xdrive looks soooooo damn good. it's the perfect sedan too. nice performance, straight6, all wheel drive, good exhaust notes, comfortable, high quality interior... you simply can't go wrong with such a timeless, beautiful ride ;)

Cant wait to see Alpina’s take on this gen.
Awesome content, the automotive world's expectation are resting on the next gen M3 and M4. Hope it really delivers!
That camo looks sick
M340i xDrive with a remap and a custom exhaust. That's all I'd ever need
Except xdrive. Yuck. Don't need that understeer nose heavy tendencies.
The M2, you can straight away tell it'll become a future classic.
Great video Matt well done!
The new M4 will be insane
That red M2 sliding around footage is so cool lol
M340i !? That reminds me years ago when ppl with the 528i use to put the M in front of the number, to get a M528i. 😂
Junito Punto Comm at least the 528i is fast, 520i with m5 badge is best
Mitrofan Vlad True !! 😂 What about Mercedes S550 AMG !? 🤦🏻♂️😅 it’s supposed to be S63 AMG and wannabes put the AMG.
@@junito1008 Mercedes puts amg on cars that have the amg sport package.

Its always good to see the roll race as a standing start isnt really a good benchmark of a cars acceleration
Do a drag race between BMW Z4 and Supra
what supra supra doesnt exist :D everything now IS BMW
that's why this will be more interesting
carwow M340i vs S60 T8 !
I'm amazed but not surprised
Can you please make a drag video on the following vehicles. 1. Latest M340i sedan 2. Latest C43 sedan 3. Latest Genesis G80 4. Latest KIA Stinger 5. Latest Audi S4
So like that 3 g-gen. I hope is better like X3 f vs g is. Even only X3 30i rides so good
How epic the next m3 will be ? Should be changed to “ how stupidly fast some family sports saloons have become “
The new m3 is going to be a monster
Love the car wow drag races, nice short video's and straight into the action.

Wow B58 is no joke.
Who wouldn't enjoy that video?! Audi and Mercedes fan boys I guess
I have an Audi, but I still enjoy great videos like this, no matter what cars are in them.
I liked this video very much...
Thanks for such quality videos mat sir...
I'm seriously surprised how BMW came up with that pocket rocket the M2, I like it so much.
VoloKin Project never seen the 1M before?
@@SL9SH 1m is ugly AF so it doesn't count.
VoloKin Project sure. One of the best modern BMW’s. Just like E46 M3.
1650kg is not pocket rocket.
The next M3 is going to be awesome. Can’t wait 😊
M2 may have more headline bhp but what’s the at the wheel figure, I wouldn’t be surprised if both cars are similar.
We need you to race it against the f80!!
The m340i is almost as good as the f80... next m3 is going to be insane
Great video!
It's a good test .M2 competition is everyones choice .but m340i is also good .i would it is a teaser for M3 and M4 with over 500hp I guess that will be fun .
nice video Matt👊🏽🙌🏽 but i still don’t your drag races 😂😂. on a serious note, i job bro
Love your videos Carwow are amazing thanks so much for all these really enjoyable vids.👍😀🚘
M340d vs M340i please!
Drag racing BMW m340i vs C43 AMG
Great video as always!!, Matt any plans of making a video BMW X5 2019 vs Audi Q8? 👀👀
That lexus done very well...
Thumbnail looks like a Forza Motorsport game LOL
Need to do same trans when comparing
Make a drag race : M2 Vs M2 Competiton
Nice new race starter!! :P
BMW turning in to TVR with every car just being fast. The problem is there is little ceiling for the m cars when a run of the mill 340i will do 12.5 1/4 stock.
Epic video yet
skill vs computers and a lead foot.
Both got the same time.
Sterling job chaps
new m3 will be fucking insane
This is only the "M-performance" 340i. Imagine what an M3 would do with the new B58 derived M engine (the last F82 M3 had a S55 which was derived from the N55 block).
Trades46 S58 will be a beast. Hope they have RWD in the new M3/4. Although I can’t imagine they offer RWD in the M340i and not the new M3.
Wow that M2 competition is quick off the line even though it has manual transmission and that is very good 😀
Love the M340i
Gonna miss the old NA inline 6s
Can't wait to get my m340xi 😍 hype
Imagine next m3
In Split, Croatia there is the M2 competition in driving school, in fact I’m driving it.
There's no doubt that both of these cars are seriously underrated in power as usual by BMW. I'm sure those numbers are more likely at the wheel.
I don't like boats, I love the M2
Can’t wait to see some of these with the new Supra :)
