Currently own a X3 M40i . Had it for 2 years already. It’s been very reliable minus the coolant leaks I kept getting a couple months ago. I had to replace the radiator hoses and radiator . Car has 80K miles. My mechanic who specializes in European cars said that the downfall of the B58 is their cooling systems and it will get coolant leaks from various parts after 70K mileage 😢
Over 70k? Oh no, I’m at 63k so I’ll have to sell soon 😭 yea the b58 doesn’t have great cooling because it’s not a Full M engine, so it gets SOO HOT under the hood unfortunately.
I’m kinda getting bored of mine too not gonna lie! It’s a great car but doesn’t handle as well. Great in a straight line but straight line gets boring fast. Is yours modified?
@ just downpipe rn with no tune , im thinking about tuning but if I do the dealer won’t give me the same value when I try trade it in for a G80. The thing is the M3 comp is a legit race car and ever since I’ve been Inside one I’ve been bored of my M340😭🤣
@@GearsAndGains1 I love your car bro ! The white rims looks amazing 🤩 my rims black and get so dirty with brake dust ! But If I was still in nyc we would definitely have linked up🔥 keep the videos coming!
I got the cooling and high performance package as well as the m technology package for my m340 and it says it’s the same size as the m3 brakes only thing is the m3 has slotted rotors which I could easily swap out
They probably brake way better then right? My brakes suck so much. Thats probably the biggest thing I hate on this car. Before it was the handling but I can deal with that. Just wish it stopped quicker.
@@GearsAndGains1 Yes they do stop way better then the stock my only complaint is the break dust. I also just got the BILSTEIN EVO S coilovers and a sway bar to help with the handling so im praying I made a good choice.
Thank you so much bro! Sorry for replying late, it’s been hard keeping up with comments! Mine are from bimmerplug but they started to fade so I wouldn’t recommend. Kies Motorsport has some great ones! I’m kinda wanting some paint matched ones but I’m leaving these carbon ones on for now.
Awesome bro I was coming back from a car show that day! The m340 is a great option it’s like an updated version to the 40i platform. They’re so nice. I love how luxurious they are inside & the potential & reliability. You can’t go wrong with this car!
Yea you do. Unfortunately they are electronically assisted so you have to get some kind of coding or reprogramming. Kinda scares me if I’m being honest because what if it malfunctions? Not sure, idk too much about it, but yes reprogramming is necessary
As much as I want this car, I too live in NYC and it’s fucking every where. I was thinking about getting the Mustang Dark Horse and keep my 21 GLI for practicality.
Nah it really is everywhere 😭 every car guy has one. Mustang dark horse is so fire. Those have grown on me a lot. I’m starting to like some Audis too kinda. There’s a lot to choose from!
He’s comparing it to the M3. He means it will go fast in a straight line, but in curves and sudden change of direction it will not be very reactive and stable.
By that logic the m3 isn’t a sports car but the m4 is? Just because a car has 4 doors doesn’t mean it’s not a sports car. The Wrx is classified as a sports car technically
@@GearsAndGains1 yeah I wouldn’t call a WRX or an m3 a sports car. Sporty yes, but not sports car. At the end of the day they are sedans first and sports second. A Supra for example is built from the ground up to be a sports car. That said, for the money there isn’t anything out there with both the performance and practicality of an m340i imo. Sure, it doesn’t handle quite like an m3 but it’s still best in its class.
Heard they’re pretty good. Are they as good as Valvetronic? Probably not, but a lot of other companies get their exhausts from Alibaba & just rebrand them! Dont be fooled!
“A spoiler that everybody hates but I love it” 😂
Everyone gives me so much hate on instagram! And on RUclips too, but I really like it 😂

@ if the car’s been running fine . Keep it longer lol other than the coolant leaks the car has been super reliable to me
I’ve had mine for 6 months and I’m over it I should’ve just bought a M3 tbh .

Another great video bro! Keep up the awesome work. I just purchased a 2022 Mineral Grey M340xi myself last week so I'm subbing for more m340i content

@ np man. Surprised you reply to ALL comments lol. I’m thinking of just getting a pair from aliexpress but water leaking in is definitely a concern
I saw you driving on 87 southbound by the palisades love my 440 but definitely looking for something different

I heard upgrading the brakes on these cars not as simple as just adding upgraded brakes. You need to reprogram the brake cylinder or whatever......
Yea you do. Unfortunately they are electronically assisted so you have to get some kind of coding or reprogramming. Kinda scares me if I’m being honest because what if it malfunctions? Not sure, idk too much about it, but yes reprogramming is necessary
We made it in the vid😫

@ Audi S7 or Rs3. The rest are on the road just as much as the BMW.
You might be undervaluing how prominent they are for your area, and being picked out when there are so many.
Doesn’t handle well? What handles better? Dedicated sports cars? It’s a 4 door sedan…
