iAmCoded - The "ECO" mode isn't really there for you so save on fuel. It's so the M340i owner (It's mostly going to be a bloke. I'm not being sexist by the way!), can put the M340i into ECO mode if the missus is going to drive it :-))... Well... If you owned this gorgeous car, would you want to find out your missus has been driving it in SPORT+ mode and stuffed it? :-))....
Just drove one of these yesterday back to back with a slightly used M3. I'd take this over an M3 in a hot minute. It's that damn good. And I didn't think I would like it. But it's more refined and 95% as fast as the M3. Nailed it.
Huge shout out to Joe Raiti and Raiti’s Rides for awesome, thorough reviews. We ordered a 2021 M340i in Portimao Blue with loads of M performance upgrades today. Thanks Joe!
Best opening I've seen from you yet, regarding their history and trying it into their driver experiences focus issue (not meant to be snarky, truly enjoyed the olening!!) Great video! I'll always be a BMW fan!
i test drove one of these last week and i loved it. the paddles are kinda small and i wish they were a little stiffer, i was worried that if i had my fingers on them they'd trigger by accident. otherwise i was shocked as to how much fun and how quick the car was. i tried a 440i right afterwards which was the car i came initially to see and the M340i was far and above the more fun car to drive and they come in around the same price point so i'm pretty much off the 440 and only looking at this one.
Ceramic tint the windshield to solve the dash glare issues. 75 or 85 % tint would help reduce the sun to the dash and behind the front windows when the rest of the car is already tinted. For sun ☀️ belt states it will help keep the car a bit cooler as well. At that percentage its also not noticeable or hindering at night.
U nailed this video,love the commentary and im a huge bmw fanboy,i could listen to that ecceleration all day long.BMW just knows how to do inline sixes.
The BMW inline 6 specifically (as opposed to a V-6 or a horizontally opposed six cylinder) is just magical in opinion. I hope BMW can recapture their essence.
I am not a BMW fan and I am not an automatic transmission fan...and yet I really like this car. Looks good. Sounds good. Awesome steering wheel. Appears to be a very satisfying car to drive. The wheels are some of the coolest OEMs I've ever seen (even though they will be murder to clean even with a Speedmaster.) It's like they took the 18+ WRX STI wheels and took them a step further.
Fast Forward a year later and I have this car LOL. Custom build .I got it for 59k after discounts nearly loaded. Lucky for me I got mine back in November right before prices went crazy.
You complained the traction is over eager and doesn’t allow enough play, I agree. While in sport press the traction control button down once. It will turn on Dynamic traction which lets you have a ton of fun up to and including doing doughnuts. However all the stability control functions remain on.
If combined with the adaptive drive, the car is the perfect shapeshifter. Changing from a “normal”daily car, to a car who is managing itself very well on the track. It is not M3, but with a significant price difference that would be an insult to M3 owners. Not a full M car but deserves the respect from all car enthousiasts.
Joe, always enjoyed your reviews. Your unbiased opinion on the cars you’re testing is highly appreciated and it does give potential buyers an in-depth understanding of the vehicle you’re reviewing. One point I’d like to make on BMW handling - you’re right, it’s less communicative then before; but I don’t know if you’ll agree with me on this: it’s NEVER gonna be the same again because electronically assisted steering is prevalent amongst ALL the automakers. In all fairness, You can make the exact same point on Porsche cars too.
My buddy just got one. And i beg to differ about it not being a true M car. Yes its not a 100 percent and my car. But its very close to the m3, like 90 percent of an m3. I would absolutely take this car over an m3 some may say im crazy but o well. my buddies was an xdrive. So maybe thats why i think the handling is so friggen close to being as good as an m3. This thing legit handles like its on rails. The car itself in awd form gives you an extreme amount of confidence in high speed corners. Lets just put it this way. The average person would puss out before even hitting half of the cornering speed that this car is truly capable of. I will be buying one as well its truly best bang for your buck performance car in my opinion. But im a car nut. And i have a thing for bmw’s in general...
I actually fell in love with this car after watching this video. Great content, I am looking to potentially lease this car next year. I’m also wondering if I should go with gray, white, or black? I am definitely going with the black rims.
Beautiful car. Actually like the all black look and recently took a look at the new lineup at the Dallas BMW dealership. Some awesome cars. Anyhow I’m getting a car tomorrow that Joe reviewed. Really looking forward to it so had to tell someone.
Raiti's Rides Thanks Joe. She loves them. Actually when we met her daughter needed a car so I said give her yours as I’ll give you my Q60S. If that ain’t love I don’t know what is. Loved that car.
Raiti's Rides Ended up getting the gold edition Red Sport 400 Hundred. Love it. Now going to get it blacked out on the chrome parts with glossy black wheels.
I’ve owned both, the new m3 is fantastic.. but honestly, I really enjoyed the m340i. I had it tuned with bolt on’s, was a blast.. You’ll be happy with either, I do think the m340i really wakes up with an MHD tune though
@@Karl51729 this is what they said Hi Andres. Your M340i has been produced, but has not shipped yet. This means that when your car has completed production it goes through numerous quality checks then it goes to the port in Germany. Then it goes into a holding pattern until there are enough cars to ship. Until the ship is full then it will set sail in this case to the Port of Galveston. We will only get notified when it gets shipped, and not until then. So, it will stay in the ‘Produced Not Shipped’ position. When it is shipped you are looking at app. 3 weeks before it gets to Galveston. Will keep you updated. Thanks.
They did a good job with this one. Looks wise its better from the front then the new M3 and not bad performance. This vs the new Acura Type S would be pretty interesting match up.
Thanks for all your hard work Joe and Lori! Yall helped me realize that any newer BMW would be a great purchase. So I found an angel eyed red on red F30 335i for a great price and overall value. ZF8 speed, twin scroll turbo 3.0L I6. Technology package including big infotainment screen and heads up display. Most think it's brand new in my area lol. Very beautiful car. I will keep it forever. There will be a new convertible BMW or Merc coming soon to the collection.
I love the 3 series, and Im glad BMW is going back to that driver engagement side of their cars~ I just wish the M3's front grill was like this G20 3 series, since it looks soooooo good. Why couldn't BMW just take this grill and use it, because this is so much cleaner~
16:49 We tested drive 330i today (in California), and we were also blinded by the same reflection from the silver above the AC outlet. It is not possible to see the center screen when that happen. And, kind of dangerous.
It’s better. As we now know, the new redesigned BMW’s are hideous. You don’t need anymore power than this for daily driving. The M cars are for track use not a main vehicle. This car also has AWD and so can be enjoyed all year long.
You make so many mistake. That grille is not standard on m340. It is black 330 grille that just they happen to put it on this car after delivery. The standard is the mesh grey grille. The rear USB port is USB C not micro USB. Also forgot to mention the rear diffuser, spoiler and that 20 inch wheel are dealer install options not standard. The headlight is not blackout...
I wish Alfa made a version of the Giulia to compete with this BMW model - a 375-400 HP turbo V6 model. Today's power difference (280 to 503 HP) and price spread ($30k) between the Veloce 4-cylinder and the Quadrifoglio 6-cylinder is too great.
I like the cockpit,...the i-drive, setup, etc! 1) Heated steering in Florida! LOL! 2) Hmm, is this the 2020 E39?????? 3) A little "body roll" is a good thing,...as it allows one to know the suspension loads up! Amazingly,...you're on roads that I'm familiar with! ;-) Good review,...very detailed!
I strongly believe the BMW is a gifted company and it is still making the Ultimate Driving Machine. What a car Raiti's you are reviewing? No No No It isn't a car! It is a black driving machine. Thank you Raiti's for showing us this nice video I enjoyed it.
My oh my Black on Black gorgeous beauty. Fantastic looking piece of machine. If I was to get 1 of these I day I would be taking extremely awesome care of this. If u can ever get your hands on 1, Would love to see a BMW 1M 🤝👏♥️👍. Thanks Joe.
He should of got it warm first, but modern cars don’t really have a break in period anymore. Especially performance engines, they’re broken in before the owner receives it. I was told the same by Audi when I bought my TT
Peter Killeen Gonna be real with you, most car salesmen don’t really know shit about actual car mechanics. Dudes just justifying to himself beating the shit out of brand new loaner cars which they all do. When I was test driving my Audi at the dealership, the dude was trying to sell me with a ton of b.s. info that I knew was exaggerated because I researched the car for weeks before actually going to buy it. Also my dad has been in the car business for 25 years (salesman, dealership GSM, etc) has never even done an oil change himself.
jesse shexton lol if your renting a car for a day, why would you only get an M4? Rent an F’n lambo. That is a daily driver for most people that own/lease it.
68475 I think is every option ... When I ordered mine it was 68175 missing the electronic trunk ... thought it’d be too pretentious to get every option 😂🙈
@@michaelmendoza631 Did you add taxes? Picking your options online + transport standard $995 is not the total cost drive off. With full option + taxes you looking $70s easy. I know i have one of these 2020 bodies in my yard.
Got my 2020 in Portomao Blue metallic for $61,900 less $4500 BMW incentive rebates. ($57400) Has M Wheel upgrade, Executive Package, Pro Driving package, phone charging system, auto trunk open. I really enjoy this car. Plenty of torque and speed!
Germans always make top end quality cars with interior , exterior and engine, while American sports cars are focused on 0 to 60,power, engine noise with absolutely plastic interior , bad designs , extended handbrake and shift handling....
I'm buying one tomorrow, as I need a new car and this puppy fills the bill. But for a 'Driver's Car' company, BMW has really fallen down on supplying decent tech info on their cars. I've been searching for weeks for good info, can't find any that's worth much. Their website is just about worthless! Plus the car has WAY too many gadgets, bells, whistles and redundant nonsense! Still buying one though because it looks nice, goes like stink with that sweet inline 6, and has great drivetrain components. Most of the gadgetry I'll never use!
This car starts at 55K perhaps you should have mentioned this is a heavily optioned one. Also my god how many time are you going to say it’s not an M car. We get the point. However for many people this is the sweet spot for price/performance.
What about heated/ventilated seats? Heated steering wheel?? Apple Car play? For $67K those would be deal breakers! Thanks Joe! (looking to possibly get a sedan to add to our family... so, checking out all your new stuff!)
Glad I am not the only one that noticed the hard surfaces for the armrest and center console. For me, I’m not a fan of the seats. The leather felt hard, and the driver’s seat wasn’t the most comfortable for me (felt firm). I’ll also disagree a bit on interior quality. Scratchy material on the visors, and the buttons in the middle console felt cheap (when pushed, the entire panel moves). I so wanted a 330i, but I ended up passing on it for a lot of these reasons (drive was also a bit tougher than I like).
I have the x3 m40i which is a kick ass for an sav but considering the bmw m3 or m4 as a weekend car and a cheap compact suv maybe RAV4 for daily driver - you should do a segment on 2nd fun or weekend cars!
Every reviewer keeps repeating, “it’s not even an M car”, but how amazing the car is! Listen, this car is way more “M car” than you’ll need as a daily driver. It’s certainly more BMW that you’ll need on any track day for most drivers...
@@amiller2121 the handling is very good. Sure, it isn’t set up like a real M. 85% of M340i drivers aren’t going to the track or use this car to its full potential. That’s my point! After owning this car for 2.5 years, I have some negatives but overall, it’s a great and fun car.
Great videos! Appreciate all that you do for us. Can I ask you, if you had to compare the C43 AMG sedan or this car. Which would you prefer and why? I’m really stumped on which one to lease at the end of this year.
I drove the 2021 340iM at a small track near me last week for bmw drive experience and saw the new m3 being released mid September thing drives nice but the 2 series m package drove corners a lot better bc that awd
Nice part of lineup as BMW sport sedan. BMW had to leave more on the table for the M3 to fill. Is the steering hydraulic or electric assist? Great review as usual Joe!
Got my first car from Ferman Mini so it was fun seeing those roads again... I've been looking at this car, but i''m a tad bummed it doesn't have cooled seats standard.. I mean come on BMW, my wife's Telluride has that
10:25 "There's eco if you want to hug a tree" lmao

This looks really nice , all black is menacing 💪🏾
Qweze Smith it’s hot for sure!
Definitely all black bmw are the way to go, not so much for Mercedes tho
An all black Amg gtr is more menacing
Black is the best and worst color - definitely hard to keep clean - but nothing looks as good as a stunning or rich deep black on a sports car

It's that damn good. And I didn't think I would like it. But it's more refined and 95% as fast as the M3.

This literally just a new gen 340i because they still use the same B58 motor. Don't get me wrong, the B58 is a great motor, but not $67k great.
@jordy rozon right?! What's the difference between this and a 440i gran coupe Xdrive? The letter M. Thats pretty much it.
@@thynysan I’ll be honest I thought the same thing until I drove one myself
Don't trust B58 it has oil consumption issues
@@thynysanactually the gen 2 b58 has many different performance upgrades like the fuel pumps and more things giving it more horsepower and torque

Russell Brown have you seen the price of renting a Lamborghini? I’m renting this 2015 M4 fully loaded with mods for 150 bucks a day.
Lol I love how he put the Raiti's Rides logo over the speedometer 😂😂
Only reason I'd pick this over the M3 is the offered AWD. But they say the G80 2020 M3 will have an awd system too. So 🤷♂️ tough decision.
Agreed
Switchable AWD for M3 like on new M5 apparently
Id pick this for the looks
man do I ever want this car
I know how that feels!
The car msrp just start from $54,000 not $67,000... i got mine more option than this and still way cheaper, i do love the black on black style tho
WingJai1119 AGREED
68475 I think is every option ... When I ordered mine it was 68175 missing the electronic trunk ... thought it’d be too pretentious to get every option 😂🙈
If you like all black you should see it in sunset orange with the carbon fiber performance 😈
@@michaelmendoza631 Did you add taxes? Picking your options online + transport standard $995 is not the total cost drive off. With full option + taxes you looking $70s easy. I know i have one of these 2020 bodies in my yard.
jahudini awwww it’s cute you just wanted to say you had one ... sad thing is if you paid over 68475 it’s just that you overpaid hahahaha
I know it’s a minor thing, but that center cap trick is the heat🔥
“If you wanna hug a tree, its blue” ahahaha that had me laughing
Thanks and still lovin the 3 series
Got my 2020 in Portomao Blue metallic for $61,900 less $4500 BMW incentive rebates. ($57400) Has M Wheel upgrade, Executive Package, Pro Driving package, phone charging system, auto trunk open. I really enjoy this car. Plenty of torque and speed!
Nicely done!
Germans always make top end quality cars with interior , exterior and engine, while American sports cars are focused on 0 to 60,power, engine noise with absolutely plastic interior , bad designs , extended handbrake and shift handling....
I thought the m340i had the diamond - like grill , but I would get one like this .
The 330i grille is also available for the m340i?
Ndabezinhle Sbusiso for the black one yes
I love the grill but I know a lot of people don’t. It is a dealer option they can install for you. Or there are a ton of aftermarket options.
Thanks bro this video was awesome
I'm buying one tomorrow, as I need a new car and this puppy fills the bill. But for a 'Driver's Car' company, BMW has really fallen down on supplying decent tech info on their cars. I've been searching for weeks for good info, can't find any that's worth much. Their website is just about worthless! Plus the car has WAY too many gadgets, bells, whistles and redundant nonsense! Still buying one though because it looks nice, goes like stink with that sweet inline 6, and has great drivetrain components. Most of the gadgetry I'll never use!
This car starts at 55K perhaps you should have mentioned this is a heavily optioned one. Also my god how many time are you going to say it’s not an M car. We get the point. However for many people this is the sweet spot for price/performance.
What about heated/ventilated seats? Heated steering wheel?? Apple Car play? For $67K those would be deal breakers!
Thanks Joe! (looking to possibly get a sedan to add to our family... so, checking out all your new stuff!)
The grille looks different from the stock m340i. Is it an option?
my be the non xdrive model
The only difference is that is black
It's an M Performance grille. Someone has upgraded it..
it is a shadowline grill. a option u can take
He gives the best reviews
Glad I am not the only one that noticed the hard surfaces for the armrest and center console. For me, I’m not a fan of the seats. The leather felt hard, and the driver’s seat wasn’t the most comfortable for me (felt firm). I’ll also disagree a bit on interior quality. Scratchy material on the visors, and the buttons in the middle console felt cheap (when pushed, the entire panel moves).
I so wanted a 330i, but I ended up passing on it for a lot of these reasons (drive was also a bit tougher than I like).
Awesome car, black on black is so elegant
khalil Abu Kabeer I totally agree with you!
I have the x3 m40i which is a kick ass for an sav but considering the bmw m3 or m4 as a weekend car and a cheap compact suv maybe RAV4 for daily driver - you should do a segment on 2nd fun or weekend cars!
Every reviewer keeps repeating, “it’s not even an M car”, but how amazing the car is! Listen, this car is way more “M car” than you’ll need as a daily driver. It’s certainly more BMW that you’ll need on any track day for most drivers...
Very good point Steve!
I disagree. This car has great acceleration but the handling is no where close to an M car.
@@amiller2121 the handling is very good. Sure, it isn’t set up like a real M. 85% of M340i drivers aren’t going to the track or use this car to its full potential. That’s my point! After owning this car for 2.5 years, I have some negatives but overall, it’s a great and fun car.
Great videos! Appreciate all that you do for us. Can I ask you, if you had to compare the C43 AMG sedan or this car. Which would you prefer and why?
I’m really stumped on which one to lease at the end of this year.
Hey buddy! In the same position right now, which one did you go forward with?
@@MultiKeky I’m leaning towards this and a cla 45 amg more my style
Powered by the B58 engine, same as on Toyota Supra, BMW Z4, 2 Series and discontinued 1 Series
You are spot on!
@Ben Gutteridge ... and much more, the most unique application being in a Morgan! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_B58#Models
This looks nice and still my first car to buy.
Package on this is sick! I'm tired of my f30 335i....upgrade!
I drove the 2021 340iM at a small track near me last week for bmw drive experience and saw the new m3 being released mid September thing drives nice but the 2 series m package drove corners a lot better bc that awd
Definitely won’t be hugging trees with this one !! great review !
Nice part of lineup as BMW sport sedan. BMW had to leave more on the table for the M3 to fill. Is the steering hydraulic or electric assist? Great review as usual Joe!
Thanks for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
awesome review Mr Zonkist
Thanks for letting me share it with you! I think I like that! LOL
How many times are you gonna say you're 6' tall...lol
Believe are not people actually keep asking me. LOL
Got the 2021 m340i , the steering feels half a sec delayed and the auto stop off button missing, otherwise perfect car
We missing that Gorgeous C43 Review 😢
Gorgeous? haha ... cheap version to the crass C63
nes suno that’s like comparing the m340 to the m3
Got my first car from Ferman Mini so it was fun seeing those roads again... I've been looking at this car, but i''m a tad bummed it doesn't have cooled seats standard.. I mean come on BMW, my wife's Telluride has that
Dreams are to own one came wat one day .I love bmw m3 and m5.massive
