Who’s here in 2023 looking at buying a 2020 m340 lol
Me lmaoooo
Do you know if the 2020 shares the same engine as the Supra ? Or which year did that start ?
@@grandmastagrimm8773yeah it does share the same engine
@@grandmastagrimm8773b58 is what the engine is called
@@grandmastagrimm8773the 2020 supra used a variant of the gen 1 B58 but the 2020 m340i used the gen 2 B58 and so does the 21+ supra
M340i owner here. I can confirm that this is one of the best models that BMW makes. The B58 is literally perfection.
same bro same, enjoy
Same haha it still surprises
Is it reliable and hard to get
Agreed. I love mine. The best, last six pot BMW.
I have a 2017 340i. B58 is amazing
My realistic dream car
For me as well.
My cheaper alternative would be i30N Fastback ^^
Cries in danish. This car starts at $135k~ in Denmark
Sjlundie go to Germany and pick one up for €65k and drive it back
@@f181234 it's the import taxes that costs the same as the car.
@@anabang1251 It's the same for me ;) N-line or this
4.4s 0-100 that BMW “claims” is so damn underrated. I tested it a few times with my Nokian snow tires(not performance winter tires) and got 4.02s with no passenger but full tank of gas.
Yeah, they claim the 5100 pound M760i has only 601 horsepower but a 3.6 0-60
There advertised figures are way less than the engine actually producing at the crank...
My friend got his M5 CS dynoed and it's churning out behemoth 700HP+ (stock) (BMW states 635HP for it)
It’s cool seeing how far you’ve come and how far you’re getting. Manufacturers are watching, they recognize the value you guys are adding to their brands and I agree. Keep up the great work. Solid video guys. 👍🏼
Nice cars are becoming like video games. Buy the DLC...
Pretty soon they'll advertise that the engine is capable of x amount of power. But you'll need to have this certain tune for a year for x amount of money.
@1betterthanyou1
Well I trying to get to where it was only temporary. At least with the re-flash it's stays there until you disengage it. So kind of like a subscription service to get the extra power. Where you pay monthly or yearly to keep that extra power.
Anthony Weeks fuck me
“Increase your allotted battery capacity for $6,000!”

Why the hell does BMW charge for Apple CarPlay when just about every other car on the market with an infotainment comes with it standard with no subscription? I hate that shit. That makes me not want to buy this car for that very reason. If you’re spending $60k plus you should at least get things like that standard.
Jon Becker the more you spend on a car, the more you get gouged with options. Why does apple charge $200 to go from 128gb to 256gb on a new MacBook? Because they can.
Good for you, I on the other hand want to buy it for that reason. I am buying a car, not a fucking phone or computer. Those fuckers shove their noses everywhere, you can't fart or pick your nose without google and apple knowing about it and giving you an app for it.
Nick that’s not really the point.
More than likely
You can ask the dealer to cover the cost. But charging for it is ridiculous.
K Clark I find dealers getting harder and harder to negotiate with. They’re all starting to lean towards “this is the price, take it or leave it”. Or “corporate won’t allow us to do that, I really wish I could.”
14:13 how to talk trash in Canadian: "Take THAT, European designer guy who was also really nice."
Yeah thats what its all aboot.
It's "How a Canadian trash talks" - Did you even graduate high school?
People still believe Canadians are polite? Lol generalizing 😍😍
I am on mile 1,500 of my 2021 M340i and I am loving it. What a fun car to drive and the power is absolutely underreported. I live in Denver so the air is thinner up here but you can still feel the necessary growl when needed. I test drove both the C43 and the M340i before I bought and although the gurgles and pops of the Merc were a little better I made the right choice in purchasing the BMW. Great review guys - definitely know your stuff!
I have the same car and I love it. I had to code the features that remembers what mode you are in when you shut down and the car is a bit quiet but it’s amazing.
I just got a 2021 with only 4k miles. How is yours holding up? Still have it?
Proud owner of a 2020 BMW m340i in Portamao Blue Metallic. Awesome German car and far more agile, torquey and exhilarating than my 2019 Camaro 2SS.
Nice. I just picked up a 2021 M340i in Grey Metallic. Awesome cars!
@@yourmomfatachacks7976 how is the exhaust sound? I heard some mixed reviews about the difference between 2020 and 2021 exhaust.
@@Wallriss Just picked up my 2021 earlier this week. Before getting it, I was upset it wouldn't have the burbles of a 2020.... Once I sat in the drivers seat... IDGAF lol. It still sounds awesome and makes some great sounds.
@@Wallriss get an AWE exhaust.. tell the dealr you dont like the exhaust... ask for 2K off to pay for it 😉
Love your videos. You both are a blast and always excited to see a new video up to watch. Thank you for all the hard work you do!
Had an F30 335ix with MPPK when I lived in Germany. Loved it! Flooring it at 200 km/h and how that engine would shift lower gear in an instant and rev like a freak and push you back to the seat, jeez i loved that! I’m really happy with my RRS now as its much more suitable for the Scandinavian climate and speed limits , but man, that BMW stole my heart❤️
A few months ago I test drive a CPO 340i 6-speed manual with the ZHP package, and fell in love with it. That car’s inline 6 is so smooth, and fast! Hoping there will still be a few low mileage examples around with a stick in a couple years when I can afford one.
Subscribed after just watching 3 minutes of this video. Love what you guys are doing! 🤘
That sounds fantastic from the outside. Sounds so much better than the outgoing M3/M4
My friend has been working at a BMW dealer for years now, and he's been very consistent in his belief that the M340i (both F80 and G20 generations) is among the best, if not the best, all-around cars that BMW makes. The latest 40i motor is clearly past 400/400 HP/TQ at the crank, if not getting close to the 450/450 range...a B58 M40i-powered car is basically running around with the equivalent to a C6 or C7 Corvette V8. It's really nutty performance for a regular production 3-series.
the seriousness and intensity of the way how Yuri said “the audios gonna be way off” made me lol
You both should get an award for the best car reviewers 😁👍🏾🏆🏅
How nice of you!
Outside of the 3 best in the industry.
@@TheStraightPipes No doubt about it
@TheStraightPipes Awards episode will be epic! I really want to see that guys! Make it happen👍👍👍
Almost at 600k congratulations 🔥🔥
I love how they been reviewing all the prettiest BMW's
Love your reviews guys, keep up a good work 👍🏻
Best music on TH-cam for car reviewers easily, and I guess the reviews are pretty good too 💪🏽
That exhaust sounds so pumped in, too bad it's so extremely noticable.
The B58 exhaust with the MPPSK sounds amazing stock.
M2 Competition is basically my dream car right now but based on price in a couple years, this may be what I go after. Interested in other specs of this one now! Great review
Well done Gents! You guys are spot on with your takes. And you both stick to your individual preferences so well. That's how I knew Yuri would take the Benz and Jakub, the Bimmer. I enjoyed another great vid.
You guys are on a roll with amazing videos
Nice test and car! Always wondered how much you have to push on the accelerator to activate the launch control while following the entire process (sport+ , DSC off, manual gear etc)
Damn. That sound at launch. It moved. I swear i felt it move. Omgomgomg
Its synthetic speaker sounds
Hiro it’s not though. The speakers make the real engine sound louder in the interior. The sound isn’t fake
Watched plenty of performance vehicle reviews but only just found your channel. These are by far the best. Have subscribed.
Thanks ❤️
Love you reviews guys!
I have a 2018 S4. Love it. Havent driven the C43 or the M340. I really like both of those as well. Would be a REALLY tough choice for me between the C43 or M340. I think I would go C43 because I like the interior a lot better. Their 12 inch display and you can option those awesome AMG Performance seats in it which look amazing.
I also like the blue/tan (cognac) color combo. It looks both classy and sporty👍
I don't know much about cars, never cared about cars much less sporty(?) cars, but I had to do some research on the BMW M series and ended up on your channel *and* have been here for about an hour. You guys make it so entertaining to watch even when I don't really understand what's going on! Subscribed c:
You guys are chill dudes. not annoying. and i like your reviews. keep it up :)
Thanks!
As a driver of an F80 M3, I'm very exited to see how good this new platform is. I can only imagine how good the G80 will be.
RIP to this comment lol
pay more for what you already paid...sad to see BMW goes EA...
Goes......did you not see how many option the last gen 3 series had. There was like 80 pay for options compared to like 20 now. BMW went full EA in 2012.
Are you stupid? I want options. Why do I want everything standard and have to pay a higher price for shit I don’t want or use?
Shane Barrett True. Including stupid ones like folding rear seats. My 09 E90 sadly didn’t have that box ticked . They charged extra for AUX as well, a feature than came standard on my 2010 Golf GTI.
The subscription charges haven been rolled back. Received the letter in December 2019
M340ix for sure. Just ordered the 2022! Thanks for the video!
Just got my 2021 M340i Friday night. Love it!
Hyundai/Kia has a great lane keep assist.
My 2017 Hyundai i30 does as well and on the Autobahn it can pretty much drive for itself.
Same with my 2019 i20 (and it has Android Auto/Apple Car play as standard).
Korean manufacturers make great cars nowadays
Both good cars but need better security easy to steal
I'm with Yuri about cones. They are kinda scary. I once saw a cone rip off a stock side skirt of a ND Miata at an autocross.
I watch this video every month, this interior spec is exactly how I am going to order mine
im not gonna lie... I LOVE THAT LAUNCH CONTROL IS YOUR NEW GIMMICK!!!! SO AWESOME!!!!!
Yuri: “This car’s insane, like straight up. But, I’ve gotta draw the line somewhere.”
Alfa Romeo Guila Quadrifiolo: “Hold my vino.”
Yeah that guilia and genesis g70 have been kicking sports sedan market. And there's jaguar project 8 too. But i know bmw will fck em all 😂😂
The review I’ve been waiting for!!!
*cries in E46 M3*
I just want a B58 and I’m a bit turned on by AWD.
I love these guys so much I post a comment before even watching the vid. I know it's gonna be great!
I loved both of u guys
I loved to watch u guys
Keep it up 👍
Color of coffee cup magically changes starting at 14:00. I always suspected Canadians knew magic.
Now sponsored by McDonalds?
@@alankingchiu ...if only it wasn't so cold up there
You mean "Colour" of coffee cup...
Gotta use proper Canadian spelling!
@@davidg4026 Apologies! haha
How does the camera that watches your eyes work if you're wearing sunglasses? Still work or can you not wear them?
I wear them all the time, I guess you can 'cheat' the system, downside is it will not recognize you dosing away as quickly.
It uses IR cameras which can see through sunglasses. Similar to Face ID on iPhone. (Also works in pitch black.)
Chuck Norris you’re not allowed to wear shades, says it in the car manual and your warranty may be void if you do unfortunately
I ended up getting a manual M240i after your review. Good to know this gen is good too.
Guys great entertaining and informative video, again. Tell me out of all you've driven so far in terms of a sedan what would you buy as the daily driver, factoring in the performance, comfort, looks, and tech aka infotainment???
I can’t stop laughing at how they casually muted that one twitter user 🤣
Time stamp?
@@matthewfawaz2247 5:35
Brilliant, I really can’t wait for my Portimao Blue M340i to arrive after your favourable review. Just 3 weeks to go 🤪
Congrats!
By the way, I pick M340i over C43 lol obviously. How was the steering compared to the 330i you reviewed, is it much better or just the same? Cheers mate
Congrats on your 600k subs guys!! keep up!
Nothing beats the driving dynamics of a BMW. M340I for me all day any day. The 0-100 time is actually closer to 3.8 secs as tested in other vids I've seen
With roll out, yes. Without, no.
@@layne4376 I actually own an M340 xdrive. It’s quick, but the M340i is not 3.8s to 62mph (100kph).
Bmw still the best.. M2 is one of the best cars I've ever driven
This is how you make a review with all the real pop's
I leased a M340 thanks to your video! Love it so much!
Allen Zhang Nice! Still driving my F21 116d until it dies 😂
So this is my 7th! BMW, including an M (I refer to that period as my high-maintenance significant other phase) and I have to tell you, this is my favorite one ever. Great review. I'll just differ on a couple of points...for a dedicated BMW driver, we don't want the looks to change much, and we don't want it blinged out. I buy these because they're mostly sleepers. Also the gauges aren't that bad. Just reprogram the center panels for the sport displays if they make you happy :). The interior now feels more high-end over all. But it's ALL about the driver and the drive here. And this car is the perfect poised partner when you need that, and the naughty and racy one when you need that.
So true
7th bmw? My entire family only owns 3...
7:00 Me, any time I ride in someone's car:
"Yo, BUILD SOME BOOOOST. MOAR MOAR. MOAR. MOAAARRR."
Full send!
You guys are easily the most entertaining car review show. I love how you subtlety(not so subtle) muted your hater on twitter.
Thanks! We have a hater?
@@TheStraightPipes that dude you guys muted on this episode haha
Saw that notification got super excited!!!
This will be my next car, in a couple years when it drops in the 30k range I’m definitely going to pick one of these up
Me too 2022 version tho when lease is up in 2024
Are they going to poke that front grill with the stick of truth ? Will they compare the drivetrain to the Supra ?
I know a lot of BMWs have active grills now that will close for aerodynamics (and to warm up the engine faster) but open up if it needs extra cooling
congratulations you are a member of the straight pipes
Thanks for the another great vid
This car I’ll get in a few years I love how it sounds and how it looks
Definitely a big BMW fan.... Like this car is just insane 💯🏁
I feel like BMW actually do care about building the 'ultimate driving machine'. They keep a straight six over moving to a 4-cyl, they chose the best automatic transmission on the market, refined the traction control so that it's perfect, rear bias AWD. They just know what driving enthusiasts want.
Keep up the good reviews!
I LOVE THE NEW TAIL LIGHTS!
Yuruy! I've done a burnout in our Prowler. But I don't think we've ever had to get new tires so they're old
I hope the 40i engine goes to the new 3 series Touring ❤
Victor Donoso you can get an M340i XDrive touring in Europe.
@@MichasTechTV 😪 On UK configurator it's only available the 330d engine as the top range engine
Hmm okay. I think it will also come to the uk because here in Germany we have the product page already but also not the configurator.

@@MichasTechTV Thank you 💪🏻
Sucks it not coming to the us apparently. There goes my dreams of buying one. USD *drum sound*
I really like the looks of this car, that grill looks really nice
That guess on the back end of the m3 was pretty spot on. Sadly the front you couldn’t have guessed how bad that would be
One of the best BMW's on market, I absolutely agree with Jakub! But you can't spec it with cooled seats, because there is no option like this on G20 now :(
Ya my bad about the seats
Lol I once won an award from my old local autocross for being the “Cone Killer of the Year” 😅
I see Straight Pipes upload.. I click.
I have this car and it’s very underrated. Much quicker than advertised. Crazy fast.
I just test drove the M340 RWD and it made my 2016 340 RWD seem lazy! Very tempting - the ultimate daily driver
Mig Y does the M340 RWD come with bigger rear tires compared to the AWD version?
Or a LR AWD model 3? That's what I've gone for instead, pretty sure it will make this feel lazy too due to the instant torque!
Russell Brown Interesting that you ask. I was shocked to see the M340 RWD came standard with 225 wide 18 in tires on all 4 corners! My car has 255 wide 19 in as the MSport option. I thought the acceleration was traction-limited so it didn't make sense.
ffrrannk I would consider the Model 3 LR or Performance but I was put off by poor build quality, higher insurance rates, and repair issues (see TFL Car's videos regarding the trouble of getting minor damage fixed). But yeah I have to agree the Model 3 is a beast to drive.
Interesting, I guess every choice has its compromises, but the cars being built now do seem pretty good in terms of build quality. Maybe not German good, but still good. Compromises of the BMW would be the running costs, and burning fossil fuel still :)
Holla at u guys great review for the ULTIMATE_DRIVING_MACHINE
Just realized you guys already got 600k+ subs.. congrats
Love the M340! I drove the M240 for a week or so and fell in love with it! Would love that feeling with the practicality of a sedan. :)
M240i is a much more fun car.
Imagine the new m3. Oml
PMAN6x7 oohh stop it your making me drool
Well, going off this Model. I have low expectations... yikes.
If its not a coupe i dont want it
The M3 is shit now
@@747simmer4 Facts
I love the exterior style of the new BMWs. I just really wish that the digital instrument cluster was not standard. What happened to having simple, stylish gauges?
Hate the digital dash display. Had a 2019 330i loaner....hated looking it
I purchased a brand new 2019 M5 last month and I much prefer its instrument cluster over my husband's 2020 X7.
Designers get very stupid and try to reinvent the wheel every chance they get
@@bluesrocker33 i would generally disagree, but i own this car and i gotta say the dash gauges are fantastic. no issue.
I like the gauges and the whole cockpit look.
You guys are amazing reviewers. Great video! Learning a lot from you guys!
Can you please mention, the torque in nm pls. Love your work from Cape Town, South Africa.
Okay that's actually hilarious that Kia tweeted about the "award" you gave them
Straight pipes award 👏🏽
Please get a trophy sponsor and give trophies to these car companies!!! They deserve recognition from real auto reviewers and not just based off of sales.
"Is that Timo Glock?" 😂
M340i all day, any day and everyday!!
Congrats on 600,000!!
Really enjoyed the video chaps.
I'm just worried that this car will have a better tone than the upcoming M3, just like the M2 Competition and normal M2.
*M340i touring is the closest we'll ever get to an official M3 touring by BMW (unlike the unofficial M3 touring in my profile pic) and thats why its the love of my life*
true that
An Alpina B3 Touring is the closest to an M3 touring. The new one has a detuned S58 engine with only 462 HP
What's the touring mean? Or what's the difference
Treeezplz touring = wagon
IM SO HAPPY THIS COMMENT AGED BADLY
You should get your hands on the Polestar 1 when possible. Edit: And Polestar 2 also!
I second this.
I fourth this.
I agree with you about the gauges too!
That m3 design you made looked perfect lol
Love how they mute the hater 6:00
