That’s awesome man, how do you think about it after almost a year? I have ordered my M340i xDrive Touring two weeks ago, delivery in March/April 2022. I cant wait
@@NickName-nickname I’ve since moved on to a Porsche Cayman. I did enjoy the M340i while I had it. Now the Porsche is one another level. Congratulations 🥳
I've just bought one AMAZING CAR , I had the 330i G20 before, this was a great car, but the 340i is just so much better and I'm averaging 34 mpg UK . The 340i is only available in X drive in the UK
Congrats on the upgrade, it’s definitely an amazing car. And so I’ve heard... apparently the new G80 M3 will only come as an 8 Speed Comp and won’t be available as the Base with 6spd in the UK as well, unfortunate
I have the 2020 C43. The M340i is definitely faster. The C43 9 speed auto is a lot better than the previous 7 speed transmission. For those who care, I test drove these 2 cars back to back a lot and ended up deciding on the C43 because the interior design and quality is better to me and the driving dynamic feels more raw. The AMG performance exhaust is also a lot more exhilarating than what is heard on the M340i. The M340i is faster for sure (not by a huge margin and doesn't feel as good because everything is so muted) but other than that, the C43 was better for me in every other way so I went with that car. Great review, keep it up!
All beautifully said!! I do believe with a more extensive budget, a C43 can certainly feel like a more premium car than the M340i. The AMG performance seats alone ... haha. I really wanna hear the M340i with the optional M Performance exhaust and compare that to the C43’s optional AMG performance exhaust (which you have!) Now I definitely gotta do a review of a 20’ or 21’ C43 🙏🏼
@@Reoniz There is something to be said about a pure RWD car though! The AWD is nice and safe and I can do some pretty aggressive cornering, but even with traction control completely off, the tail never slides for me.
Great review. One small thing I don't agree to is that the shadow line black grill trim and side mirrors would get less dirty. Black color always makes any dirt more noticeable.
Thank you! I see what you're saying.. but the gray trim is matte finish so it shows water marks in a way that the shiny black shadow line trim doesn't.
Thanks for the vid, just made me sell the 330e g20 for the M340i … electric prices are just nuts now it doesn’t make any sense unless a business. I am beyond excited to pick this up now.
I traded my 2016 340xi to upgrade to the M340xi and it was the best thing I could have done. The M340xi is so much better and fun to drive than the 340xi.😉
I did... world of difference honestly-of course if you need either the practicality of a sedan or AWD, then the M340i is your only choice between the two. However, if you want the far superior 'dynamic' driving experience, that's the M2C! That's not to say the M340i isn't a fun sport sedan, but check out my video on the M2C to see more of my thoughts!
The xdrive is rear wheel biased and is faster I believe, but unless you are in the Southwest where it rarely rains or snows, it's much safer with the xdrive. I'm sure you know this but it seems like you were saying "only" get the rear wheel drive version.
I'd do shadow line trim, probably the 792 wheels, but honestly anything NON-runflat, either premium or convenience packs, Harmon Kardon audio, and adaptive M suspension!
@@Reoniz Thanks. I definitely like the shadowline...I am thinking about starting with some minor mods like tinting some of the reflectors dark, and then I want to hear how it sounds. I hear the 21 is very quiet compared to the 20 model, but I am using this as a Daily driver so I might be ok with it.
@@Reoniz I know bro! The e90 355 is such a balanced nice generation after 6 years I’m still not tired of it !and yes that heavy manly steering it’s like no other feeling
I respect the tuning game, and some nutty shit can be done... but it would take a whole lot more than $20k to make an m340i comparable to a G80 M3C 🤷🏻♂️
Hahah that’s a fair point, the grilles on the G8X M cars aren’t the best... but they’re better than the 4 series, because they at least extend all the way down the front end and have a flatter profile
Last week .I went to test-drive M340. but every time I brake for a full stop, the car gave me an obvious vibrate... very uncomfortable. Does it happen to everyone? thanks.
@@nathan_milan_blacksmith3926 I do turn off auto stop/start yes! But it may have something to do with lane keep assist or front collision warning. I'd try turning all of them off and see if that's it. On these care, you're able to adjust the amount of steering vibration during a safety "warning" ... but this could for some reason be brakes that were in bad condition, causing shaking and shuttering when stopping
I haven't driven the CTR, but based on C&D's numbers, it'll walk a CTR in a straight line... and based on Ring' numbers, the CTR will wreck this in the twisty's 🤷🏻♂️ That's all I can infer til I drive the CTR myself... which I desperately wanna do
A common issue... this car cost almost 2x in Singapore. Despite crazy demand and inflation, prices are still amongst the best in the world here in the States!!
I’ve actually driven a few M340i’s, but never an Xdrive.... I needa change that because I’m curious of how BMW’s “performance oriented” AWD compares to Audi’s Quattro system

No you’re 100% right, I was super happy that my F30 with MPPSK automatically disabled it, I’m just saying options are nice, as the average consumer doesn’t notice or care... it’s us enthusiasts who really want it gone
@@Reoniz of cause stupidity is never written on a salesman's forehead... Ask what an M3/4/5/6 are? , even better the M3/4 the M5/6 are not sport cars... They only have sports car power. Let me give you a hint, sport cars are about weight, torque and power.. When we talk weight, proper sport cars do nomore than 1500kg, there are plenty in the 1600kg bracket, they try and make up for the extra weight with bigger turbos, a rigid suspension and carbon Fibre materials. Very few companies nawadays build proper sports cars...
@@duffydaf1783 dude you’re describing F1’s and track cars, shit that isn’t street legal.

yeah I’d definitely go xdrive
I have the 2021 of this car too and your review was on point brother🙏🏻
Appreciate it brotha, enjoy the car, it’s a beast
The 2020 has a much better exhaust
You’re not wrong
Thanks for video. 2min : it is stock exhaust ?
Yessir, 100% stock exhaust! There is also an available M Performance exhaust that would make it sound a bit louder and throatier
I’m interested in purchasing this car later down next year , What are some options that you would recommend for it ?

Missing the Harmon & kardon audio system huh ? Is it a big difference
Yes this car was missing it, I think it’s a worthwhile option for this car, makes a pretty big difference if you regularly bump music in your car
that's the 20' MY, theres still the start/stop button on the center console

20%!!
Here in UK it's only Xdrive
Well done review right here. Placing my order this month, think I have to add the M Performance Exhaust tho.
M Performance Exhaust is a great call, it’ll really wake the sound up a noticeable amount 👍🏼
Wait how did yours pop w the mild hybrid system?
In terms of design wise... this looks more like a real M car than the ugly grills that the real M cars are getting.
