These tourings just look so good!
Tony's new 340d xdrive touring is specced perfect especially with the motec bits. Tonnes of torque. And like you say at half the pcp price of an m3 touring. Its incredible value
driving a 330i MSport with a few other tidbits upgraded in the US...recently had a 430i loaner with bigger wheels...noticed right away when coasting... we've wondered about switching to non-run flats...No longer sell the wagon in the US...too bad. When we bought ours there was a 330d on the lot...too bad I couldn't convince the spouse - I think it would have been sweet! Thanks for the awesome vid!
Great video, thanks Joe. This is the car for me. Helpful disclaimer on mods from Tony too.
That M340d looks great.
I had a 2016 335d Touring and loved that engine. BMW make some great diesels, shame they seem to be disappearing due to the eco brigade
Bro, is the engine quiet or noisy?
@@mrwolfger they are quiet and silky smooth
Great video! AND thanks for sharing about mods. Tires are SO underrated as a modification!
Interesting overview. I go back and forth on m3t and appreciate such different views with M340i/d. It’s not the same as m3t, but as daily m340 does the job. Especially with these wheels and springs 👍🏻
I had a M340i with 20s and lowered springs. Made a massive difference but also a massive difference to my wallet. Tyres £150 more and insurance double. So sold the car and gone back to a stock M340i. First few weeks were hard and couldn't get used to it but now don't notice it and with the price hikes in the UK have stood up will with the current increase in insurance etc
I like these ad hoc videos. Please do do that finance comparison between the two Touring specs when you get a mo!😎👍
One of the best all round estate cars. That diesel engine is amazing and the size, practicality and style make this a perfect daily
Agreed! I just did with mine a 990km trip from Dolomiti Italy on just one tank (avg 5.5l/100kmh). Pretty damn impressive for a 340ps car cruising on Autobahns 😊
Bros, is the engine quiet or noisy?
@@mrwolfger it's quiet in comfort and sounds fine (it's 6cyl) in sport. Clearly b58 sounds much better but it's still best sounding diesel imo
@@p.k.7111 have you ever experienced the 400d engine from Mercedes? I heard that its super quiet and 700Nm of torque from 1200-3200 rpm is just insane @@
@@mrwolfger nope and for sure it's a great engine too. But b57's torque curve is also impressive and works butter smooth with the zf8.
my LCI 335D stage 1 is all the car i need tbh, ive had so many performance cars but the bmw just does everything, zero noise with a sub 4 0-60 with a fridge in the boot :D
I have the 330d touring xdrive in dravit Grey. I picked this up with 1900 miles on the clock in Feb 2020 as a demonstator for £40,000. It had every option ticked apart from the towbar. Even now it only has 19000 on the clock. Fantastic car! I can't justify changing it now I've had it just over 3 years. Even bmw wanted to purchase the car back from me for what I paid for it. I was considering the 340d in brooklyn Grey with the same spec but at 69k on the BMW configurator, just doesn't make sense!
3 years’ free motoring, very good!
my father was doing South Wales to Brighton, there and back every week for work. Getting 38-40 mpg at 80 mph in his 340i (21 plate).
Thats one stunning stunning looking car!
BMW truly smashed it out the Park with this one
Tony has specked up a lovely car there. Really looks the business matching the drive. Almost scared to say I think that closed grill kind of spoils it's frontal look.
Cheers Joe.
Really nice car have been looking at them recently for a daily, could you compare one of these to the x3 m40d. Keep up the good work joe 👏🏼
I suspect this could be the sweet spot of the 3 series range for practical, every day road use.
The 'M' has the kudos and the performance but with reduced comfort and double the monthly payments, it takes some justifying unless money's not really a consideration or you really really really want one then what the hell.
😄😄👍
Nice Video! I would love to see a Review of the M240i RWD. As an F-series owner of the car iam finally starting to like the look of the new G-series. I'm really interested in the steering feel and the differential. 😉
my 340i has mps4s , eibach pro springs & motech spacers , these 3 added makes it really sharper on handling ,cornering & a smoother ride .
👍
Smoother ride? Must be more bouncy on bumpy roads surely
@@destinationbikeatboxhillin8255 Nope Eibach pro springs give a smoother ride in comfort , sport & sport+ on A,B & C roads than the m-sport springs , no bounce , less body roll. you want bouncy fit H&R.
wow those tires really are impressive
Considering a suspension setup like that for my m240i. Dunno if I want to spend the money. Plus, the roads in Annapolis are not great, tire rub is very probable if the drop is over
Good to meet you today Joe, although briefly. (Saab 9000 Aero 2.3T).
Ahh yes, sorry it was so brief! The 9000 sounded great as you pulled away... Cheers and hopefully meet you again one day!
I wonder how much better the alpina d3 is.........that m340d looks so good
Another great video and a lovely car, great colours, but I think most people would struggle to even get insurance for a 60K car with non-standard suspension or that wheel set-up (unless you've got Joe's money 😊) Talking insurance has anyone's insurance actually gone down in the last 3 years rather than up..
I'm searching high and low for this body colour/interior combo. Thinking this is the perfect replacement for my 2016 435d with that added practicality.
I have an M340d. Hands down the best car I’ve ever had. The torque is fantastic. It’s perfect for any daily task. 4.1s to 60 is nuts! I’ve got to try launching mine now 😆 All this and yet the efficiency is unbelievably good 🤯
I have mine on order and it should be coming for September for 73 reg. I am really looking forward to this car. I was a little afraid due to the rear biased X-Drive and want a firmer car rather then a tail happy one. How does it grip and how is the car overall?. Too excited to get it that I am glued to videos on it and have another 6 months to go :( haha.
@@Theakaash123 it grips like glue. You have to switch off the TC and be a bit overzealous with the throttle to unstick it.
@@ace_55581 That's good news. I test drove it and fell in love, the way it pulls off and the rumbles you get when it's in sport. I love the new dash too. The torque throws you back in your seat. How much mileage is it giving you per full tank?
Gr8 test. I am about to order m550i that is still possible to order as soon this engine disappears and now You made me hesitate to do it. This car with a diesel seems to be a very good daily that I need 🙈🤓
What the new m3 touring should look like. I like the new styling but this is so much better.
Absolutely stunning!!!!
Traded my 335d in for a 340d. What a car!
Michelin PS 4S is not state of the art any more, Conti Sport Contact 7 is :)
@Live Life Lasting .... Too funny .... Worth a try, eh? ..
Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 will be king very soon...
They’ll surely won’t release the 5S until they can be sure it will be better than the Conti SC7 currently is indeed, too much at stake..
I have the conti sport contact 7 and I have had better
Agree, the conti 7 is the way to go and cheaper than the Michelin
You have dozens of videos praising the adaptive suspension..but have you actually driven a m-suspension without that adaptive option? Would like to see you try that out as comparison?
This will sell quickly when tony finally decides to part with it. Great spec, interior and exterior.
Not wrong deenoc , I jumped on it as soon as I saw the video and now own the car , absolutely love it 👌
@@richardhill9473 wow, thats awesome. Shes a beauty.
Awesome car, I need one, alongside a boxster.
My m340i is getting Michelin ps4s next week on 20 inch , i think I'll consider some springs . Would also be very curious about the wheel and tire dimensions. Thanks Joe . Congratulations to Tony for his spec
@Vlad Costea ... +1 .. Agreed, can't go wrong with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for a daily driver, or other.
After 10 months of order waiting we took delivery in January of a '23 MB E450 Wagon.. Before delivery,, had the dealership ditch the Conti run-flats for the very Michelin PS4S .. 245/40/19". A great 2-and-a-half-season tire here in Vail, Colorado (driveway elevation 8,250FT)
P.S., Here in the States BMW USA says "We're not Worthy" of the 340d Kombi or any of the M-Series Kombi. .. What an F-in shame....
Just fitted Continental Sport Contact 7s on my M440i. Much better tyre imo. I've had PS4S before but the Contis are another level. th-cam.com/video/t10y-87oiD4/w-d-xo.html
Could I possibly ask you what 20” wheels you have on your M340i and at what dimensions you’ll be fitting PS4S? Mine came with the 20” Mperformance 795M wheels with star marked P-Zero PZ4 runflats (front 225/35 rear 255/30). I am asking you as the time to replace my Pirelli’s is near but I can’t find a star marked PS4s in that size or in fact any other tyre which isn’t run flat. I read a lot that non star marked tyres even at the same dimensions could cause issues with the xdrive and the transfer box. Not sure how to proceed.
@@vangelis13hi. I'm in this same situation with the same wheel, 795m. Did you find the answer?
I have a UK 2020 M340i xdrive with the optional 20” 795M performance wheels wearing the homologated star marked Pirelli Pzero PZ4 run flats (Front 225/35 Back 255/30). I would love to try the PS4S in these dimensions but BMW refuses to fit them on my car and they told me that if I change to an other tyre I invalidate the warrantee of the car and if there are any issues with the transfer box I will not be covered. I am told these star marked Pirelli’s are apparently specifically designed to work with the M340i. I would appreciate some advice on the matter!
I have a x3 m40i (2019) on run flat tyres. How noticeable is it if I was to change to non run flats in terms of ride quality? I don’t rag the car about since I have 2 kids but are run flats really affecting the ride quality that much in terms of noise and smoothness in the ride??
Love that interior colour!
What everyone seems to forget is that a car will not operate efficiently until it’s fully up to temperature. Average mpg unless you are doing really big miles need to account for all the time when the engine is cold.
Does anyone know what the correct tyre pressure should be when changing from 19" runflats to 19" PS4S's ? Surely the pressures must be different due to the rigid sidewalls of the runflats ? but Michelin just told me to consult the manufacturer's label on the drivers door pillar. My car is a 2022 340i xdrive LCi. Thanks for any help.
Would love to see a dyno of this car to see if it produces more BHP than claimed...
Definitely interested in a finance video ,personally I think you get better lifespan from Michelin I wouldn’t upgrade to these particular wheels just swap the tyres and the biggest waste of money are those BMW birthday badges
You should come to West Sussex Joe, some of the potholes, crazy!!
Isn’t there a risk of damaging the xdrive if you have a flat tyre and you dont have runflats?!?
splitter and side skirts and spoiler for £2k is a lot imo
still looks nice either way
Why the panoramic sunroof isn't available on the sedan?? It would've been lovely to have it on the sedan.
Just for the grill alone, looks better than the m3. But grills aside, awesome spec.
Hi Joe, love the video and the spec of the BMW. In fact it’s one of my choices as my next company car!. 👍 Would you recommend the X Drive version?.
They only offer xDrive in the UK on M340i and M340d
Great vid. I'm just a little too scared to buy diseal though.
Perfectly spec'd.💙👌
Beautiful, looking touring toooooo bad not available in the USA. I’d take this over most of the SUVs on the road in a heartbeat. Especially with that B58.
Hey Joe, what sizes do the wheels have (tyres and rims)?
Sport seats or m sport seats? For daily use and where comfort is the priority.
i need one of these in my life
The Best looking spec
Drove a saloon variant recently and the 30-70mph acceleration----well suffice to say I couldn't have seen my dream car---porsche gt3---any variant----putting substantial space into it over that increment-----??.
M340i touring vs M3 touring comparison. Please. ❤
Colour is great car too
Would be great to see the monthly price comparison video
Great Michellin review 👏
Absolutely, get rid of those plastic run flats!
Has this car got upgraded and lowered springs?
Just a beautiful car.👌
What would the approximate PCP be for this?
Arguing about tyres. Just buy the ones you like and crack on fellas.
Great vid as always Joe btw
as for the tyres handling or ride (on run flats ) believe there is no difference (or if you think there is i'd give you 5 minutes on the cheaper brand and you'll tell nothing is different) so good is the set up and / with this suspenstion , electronics etc . with this car d or i
Gorgeous cars.
Is this the best all round car available today? Looks, performance, practicality, is there anything out there that can beat it?
As the tyres are non run flat how does Tony cover off possible punctures? Thanks Joe
Probably by carrying a puncture repair kit / tyre foam.
Stunning car 🎉🎉🎉
I definitely would..
People from india actually threw it with BBS wheels wrapped in PS 5 ,I have had no idea of where they even source them , iam looking for those tyres for my vRS 245
tell him to pull the protective stickers off the M seat badges !
What are the tire sizes? The heavy M340i and d would greatly benefit from wider tires in the front to bring it closer to the M3.
Honest question, why would you want it closer? I thought generally accepted opinion was the 340D/i are better dailies. If people can’t afford the M3/T then I don’t understand why they then obsess over spending thousands of pounds to bridge the gap.
Any owner of an M340D/i has a great car already. It’s not like most of us are on track. I’d sooner save my money
@@Kurlach The M3 Touring costs 95.000€ lightly specced after discount. The M340i can be had from 48.000€ used. Spending 4 digits worth of tuning can make sense here. I personally think the M340i is powerful enough but I greatly appreciate having a precise front end without understeer.
What colour is that paint?
What hp do these run when stage 2 ?
What’s the app to see the time to 0-60?
How much would this depreciate in a couple of years?
Why didnt the M3 touring take the same design as this ,,,,,,......this looks stunning
They need to let us add these seats to our cars in the US.
Don't think you had engaged launch control for the 0-60
Big difference to the 0-60 on those tyres, with a tuning box I managed 4 seconds flat in my M135i xdrive (not using launch) and that has the rubbish Bridgestones. I wonder if Michelins would make a difference!
Pity he didn’t have another spare 4.15 seconds to try and crack the 4 second barrier
How much is the road tax per year?
Would have to disagree about comfort setting on the steering. Maybe it’s dependent on the car but in my i4 it’s far too light particularly on the motorway
Totally agree. Even the wife says exacly the same!
Thanks Joe another epic video. Currently drive a Golf GTI 7.5 performance this will def be my next car. Is there a better daily that can do it all ?
not if u want that diesel v6
Hey Joe! Any way you can get your hands on a G42 RWD M240i? I have one coming in about 4-5 months, but there’s still so little info about it online..
Would be interesting to hear your thoughts vs the xDrive
I didn't know they even made one... We definitely don't get them in the UK.
@@JoeAchilles1 Ah damn! It was added to the 2er range here in the Netherlands at the same time iDrive 8 was added to the G42. Guess I'll have to be patient and wait till I can find out myself :)
It’s engine stock ?
we've had out M340d for about 3 years now, have to disagree with you over the runflat tyres, we don't find the ride compromised at all. And I would never not put run flats on given the safety benefit, I'd rather the missus is able to slowly drive to a safe parking spot rather than pulling over to the hard shoulder, all day long, and night too
Even switching from the OEM 18"s on winters to the 19" summers make no discernible difference
3.79 is the quickest I have gone in my m340d using a racebox tried to replicate it and can only get a 3.87 but most times it's just over 4s
How you did over than 4?
Sorry Joe, got to disagree. The black M340D badge looks naff, just a personal opinion. And while I like the design of the wheels I think the colour is wrong; they’ll never ever look clean.
I think the 340D looks great as is personally - save a bloody lot of money and enjoy it as it comes in my humble opinion
De-badge all the way, including the little m badges on the flanks. Much cleaner and easier to wash.
You don't have to be sorry, we all have different taste and mine would be de badged completely.
Interesting you get so low mpg. Some of the mild hybrid stuff won’t work on cruise control. If you hold it on the throttle and release on down slopes you should be getting 65+ maybe 70mpg. Not bad for a car that can launch to 60 in 4.15. The truly are great all rounders.
Absolute BS
@@jsut3764quite a few owners have got these numbers. 76mpg being the record.
Just wondered if you have to get permission from your insurer if you change from a runflat to a normal tyre ? as it could be seen to be a) a modification and b) the loss of a safety feature .
It’s an interesting point. I guess most wouldn’t tell their insurers if they didn’t put oe tyres and instead put budgets on when they needed replacing
If car can come out of showroom with runflats or non runflat then there is no obligation to tell insurers.
I ended up contacting my insurers (Axa) and they were happy for me to change to non runflats.
No red leather? That’s unlike Tony 😢
Great video as always but such a Michelin fanboy. 99.9% of drivers would not notice any difference in handling over the MPS4s against any other premium brand tyre. You could fit a rizla paper between all of them.
Call me crazy but this car is a better overall package than an m3 touring, give me one of those anyday
@Sp3cked OuT ... can't argue with an oil-burners abundance of torque ... For a daily driver ... We get shit here in the States; BMW USA sucks.
@@michaelschneider- move to Europe 😁
Joe, please answer me, i love diesel engines, but how noisy is BMW's inline 6 diesel engines?
refinement has got much better this generation. Even listening outside the cabin the engine is noticeably less diesel like than the F31 version
@@blairmcconachie thanks bro 🥳
I put PS4s on my m340i a couple of years ago. If I’m honest I couldn’t tell the difference. I don’t know that much about driving to be honest but was disappointed given the hype. Love the m340d though. Making me want one, unfortunately.
PS4's or PS4 S's? What was the original OEM tyre?
£67k?! That’s mental.
looks like i need to change my bridgestones... or just go back to Tony and spend more cash
Is it an indicator stalk?
