Please make more videos about the 340i !!! This is AMAZING !!!!
That’s the plan!
I’ve filled up 5 times in the first month after going MHD stage 2. This baby be thirsty when in boost. It’s worth it tho. It’s addicting. 416whp/459 on a dynojet.
Amazing! And you’re absolutely correct, I turn down the boost for daily driving but I can easily go through two tanks of fuel over the weekend if I’m constantly on the throttle 😂
what all mods are you running?
@@westinkriser6943 At the time it was only a downpipe and a tune
Perfect video bro deadass
Amazing info, keep up the content !
I’ve owned my 2018 340i RwD since July 2018,(New) Your maintenance costs versus my maintenance costs are from two different planets. I’m only stage 1 BM3 and I’m still running my stock cat. I guess you have had bad luck in 2019 but that’s still a crazy amount for me.
Yeah most of my costs were Tires to be completely honest.
Just paid off my 2008 330i, and I’m in the market for a 2016 340i. Currently looking for a Silver with red interior, or a black with red interior. Can’t wait to get it!
DO IT!!!
NoClutch Garage oh it’s gotta have the mpackage on it as well. The silver is really rare with red interior it seems. I might have to have a dealership do it custom.
Nice
Isn’t the gen 2 B58 engines (2018+) in the 340, 440 and 540, better than the older ones?
Great video bro, I’m currently in the market for a 340. Slowly swinging more towards the xdrive since I’m in Pittsburgh Pa. I don’t think you spent an outrageous amount, everyone know PSS are expensive. It sucks that alignment shop screwed you but hey lesson learned right and hopefully I learn from your mistake lol. But great content keep me coming!
Thanks! Yes I blame myself for those mistakes and driving without being careful. I’m a lot more aware of the road now. 😅
Tey Enki bro dont buy a beemer with xdrive it costs too much when there is issue with it and believe me there is!! I paid 1300 euro Transfercase rebuild, my friend is now in same shoe !
Was thinking of getting a Bmw but fack nevermind bro. My hondas given me zero problems. Staying basic.
Thoughts on a low mileage return lease 2016 340i xdrive 6spd? Test driving one this week that's been for sale for 3 months. Trying to take advantage of the covid 19 low car sales and get a good deal.
I got mine off a lease 🤷🏻♂️
Great video! I’m really interested in the full fluid change videos you have. I’ve only done oil change. How much harder is it to the the diff’s and transfer case fluids?
There has been a lot of interest in it considering I haven’t found a thorough one on YT! I want to upload soon I’ve just been putting it off since it’s gonna need A LOT of editing haha. Honestly the diffs are the easiest part.
Question for brake pads was that with parts and labor and where did you have them done?
Lol I did them myself, so just parts!
I got my 16 340 59k miles for 27.5k money well spent
Found a 340i x drive with m package and every package offered. It’s fully loaded with the red interior. It’s a 2017 with 22kmiles one owner was a lease car. So it was serviced and is back at the original dealer. They won’t go any lower them 35k. Is that a good price? They’re asking 35,900. Manager said they couldn’t do better because it’s priced right. It’s super clean and looked brand new.
Yeah x drive models tend to go higher especially low mileage like those
Most of the things stated are maintenance items and "not my car is broke down on side of street issues". Like the trans, differentials, and transfer case fluids you dont even have to think about till 65k miles.
He’s naming cost of things you have to do to literally every vehicle so this is a terrible video
Looking for 340i now. I understand the new (gen 2?) B58 is refined and better than the ones prior.
I guess that means B58 from 2018+ is the better BMW to get? Wonder if there still leaks and gasket issues..
B58TU is definitely a better motor.
New subscriber. What up dude
Hey!
Is 328 better on the wallet in regards to maintenance
I had an unlucky year... that being said the 328o may be lighter on the wallet in terms of day to day usage but about the same for any major repairs.
How many miles per yr do you do?
Last year was an anomaly... I did 40,000mi... I expect to do a quarter of that this year!
Tell me please! On stage2 MHD 93map the sports dispay goes to 470-480hp???
Mine go maximum 430hp don't know why
Not sure but I wouldn’t use those gauges as a reliable way to measure power... mine reads 640hp
@@NoClutchGarage ok, but how much hits when you accelerate the car?
It hits around 600hp which I know is not accurate 😂 I’m honestly not sure how or what happened
Wait so without the unexpected fixes how much total would you say ownership costs?
Not bad just oil changes
How many miles did you drive on that year?
40K
That’s insane if the control arms went bad at 23k miles that’s almost a new car smh
At what mileage did you change out the spark plugs? Seems a bit early but I'm coming from Japanese cars sooooo
I change them often because I have a high horsepower car and run ethanol
@@NoClutchGarage ahhh okay that makes sense thought you were stock haha
Looking at a 2016 with 71k miles- two owners and clean CARFAX, too many miles or good?
25k buy it
@@mk3mo578 bought it. So far so good- an awesome daily that’s comfy and fast
@@jonm.678 dam nice how many miles and how much u paid ?
@@mk3mo578 71k miles, about 29k. Probably overpaid a bit but it was very clean and was just serviced. Plus it had a CARFAX with all the service history too
@@jonm.678 congrats bro I been looking for one for about 3 months. Around the same miles and budget. Hard to find they go quick
Where did you buy your control arms?
FCP Euro
6 oil changes a year? Why?
Last year I drove a lot, I put almost 40,000 miles on my car. I like to do my oil changes every 5k miles to ensure performance consistency
lmao
$85 for an oil change on that car is quite cheap. For most people add $100 onto that.
My 16’ 328i cost more. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Bmw = break my wallet lol
So for a lot of these things that are cheap, do you diagnose it yourself or does the shop? And do they charge you a diagnosis fee or something?
I’m at the pint where I can diagnose most things but I go in and seek advice from my shop anyway. This was an unfortunate year.
Oil
Change how often?
I change it every 5K miles!
NoClutch Garage how many miles your car has now?
Around 60k
NoClutch Garage i Will buy one Next year Due to this coronavirus cant afford now, i have M550d i will sell and buy 340i What is consuming in city?
And at Highway 160km/h?
Dang almost 5k for a year of maintenance. I was considering a 2013 335i m sport but idk 😐
Special circumstances... 2 sets of tires and control arms drove that price way up
Money pit
You’re absolutely correct but this isn’t a common issue, just something I encountered through some misfortune. It’s the only issue I have had with my suspension. Tires are really what can drive cost up depending on how much you drive and if any tire gets damaged you MUST replace all the others as well.
@@JiTengful he puts 40k miles a year. Almost $5 is not bad at all.
@@MasterWilliam82 so... what you’re telling me is I should get a Lexus is350 instead? Lol
Ugh. Nevermind. I'll buy a Lexus
Tires killed me
Yeah I’m 50/50 due to repair costs for bimmers 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
This guys numbers are very skewed. At a shop oil changes will be ~150ish. Brakes you will need to replace pads rotors and sensors EVERYTIME. German rotors use a soft metal that warps and cant be resurfaced. Expect to pay over $800 for all 4. Dumbass blaming a shop for ruining his alignment when his control arms were shot. They can align it all day but if your components are broken it wont matter. Do not use this video as a realistic view of ownership.
Are you really serious right now? I have NEVER paid over $85 for an oil change EVER! Anytime I’ve done my pads I also do my sensors however I don’t change my rotors every time because it makes absolutely no sense to do that and I’ve had no warping issues. My control arms got shot after my first alignment and after I found out about the tire wear issue. Plus, the wear issue was in the rear because of a bad alignment where we found out it had too much camber and the control arm that was shot was my front left 🤦🏻♂️ IN ANY CASE this was a video about MY experience in the first year and in no way am I implying that everyone should expect this but this was MY experience. Thanks for watching!
@@NoClutchGarage You are delusional kid and like I said this is a very very poor video to base ownership numbers off of. Im letting other people know to not expect this at all. No offense this video is BAD and gives people the wrong impression. BMWs are very expensive ownership even when you hack your maintenance like this. A battery alone will be double the cost of a normal car battery plus you need to pay to get your computer reset after installation or the battery will fail prematurely. Nothing is cheap, nothing is easy, nothing is normal. Not trying to bash you for making videos nor for the way you take care of your car. Im just shedding light for those who may consider what you have said when deciding whether or not to buy this car.
@@timm5970 I appreciate the criticism Tim even though you were kinda a dickhead about it but i guess if someone’s gonna make a 35k decision they need to know the things you mentioned and really get all the info
The thing is, yes BMWs are relatively expensive to maintain, but I also don’t expect the average driver to get into one of these and expect Honda prices. I had very bad luck my first year of ownership with the suspension and tire stuff. Idk why he would say I’m delusional when I’m literally the owner of the car and know how much I’ve spent on it lol. In any case, the B58 platform is much more reliable than previous engines and thus maintenance is cheaper, however major repairs are still expensive and that IS something the average owner should take into account.
@@NoClutchGarage just because you own the car does not mean you are maintaining it nor does it mean your car will last. These cars have a fair amount of problems and cost $$$$ plain and simple. Doesnt mean u are always going to be in the shop, just means when you are get ready to pay
