Absolutely in love!! The sound, the gorgeous look of this spec, the speed. Man you are one of those reviewers that really know how to make someone want a car
Thank you for watching! Hopefully you can get this beautiful car this year. Once you find a great deal, reach out to Alex, and he'll make it even better for you👌
How can it be one of the best value cars when this will depreciate faster than a basic Mazda or economy car? You literally lose money buying this, the only value is in your feelings.
@@DMCarReviews no it doesn't. A used 2018 civic and a 2018 bmw340i is the same price. You think the BMW released for less than 30k. Just a depreciating money pit for feelings
The only drawback to this car is if you live in the DMV where this was filmed you'll never get the chance to really push it that hard. Traffic is always too awful to do it haha. Great review.
Great review man. Keep it up. Love 0-60 tests, comparisons to same class cars, detailed interior shots. Try to film on non-sunny days like this. Video comes out so much more pleasant to watch and you actually see details better. Anyway, good job, subscribing for sure!
I just got a 2024 m340i xdrive special edition I picked it up right hot off transit this past November mine wasn’t spec with the wheels or carbon fiber grill outline but overall love the car & performance
Do it. You won’t regret it. I have the m340i and the B58 is nearly perfect. The smoothness, the linear power, and it’s even efficient. I’m so glad I bought mine.
M340i is a good car but for 77k, I don't think I'll pay for that. I'll stick to a $55k Genesis G70 3.3t. Not as fast as the m340i, but it's still plenty fast.
@DMCarReviews Discounts? Where on earth are you getting discounts for an 2024 M340i, show me. MSRP for for the M340i is $60K, no BMW dealer near me sells one for less than $65K, so yeah, a "hyundai" is a better bang for the buck especially the warranty. 60K mile complimentary service (oil and filter changes free).100K miles drive train warranty and + extended 60k ($4500ish) miles on top of that. My previous 2015 RCF had 159,000 miles until I sold it. I also paid a $600 60K mile warranty on rims and tire warranty. New tire for no question asked if nail got in it and curb rash on rims. BMW warranty is only 4 years and 50k miles.
@aus10li Inferrior? Lol you haven't even been into any of the Genesis cars in your life. I am 100% that after that 50K miles is up on your warranty, you'll be trading it in lol and taking the hit on that depreciation. Guess you settled with the most basic M340i lol? All the BMW owners that I know barely have their BMW's more than 3 or 4 years.
The M340i is definitely one of my favorite cars, and I'm seriously considering getting one myself either by the end of this year or early next year. I do have a question about its long-term reliability, though. As an owner of a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6, which has been incredibly reliable, I've been hearing mixed things about BMW's reliability. Can anyone share their experiences with the M340i as it ages? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Hi! I have a 2022 BMW X4 M40i, and she is approaching 100k miles now. Bought her brand new, and so far I've only needed to replace tires and do routine maintenance throughout the mileage. Check out my latest video! Very reliable cars👌
I sell Toyotas but drive BMWs. Put 142k miles on my 2006 330xi (went to second owner and totaled at 180k), 70k on my 2016 340i xDrive (totaled by canyon rock fall unfortunately), 43k so far on my 2021 M340i xDrive, and 12k so far on my 2023 X3 M40i xDrive and have never had an issue outside of routine maintenance.
i have 17 440i(b 58), and it already feels too fast for city driving lol. like with half throttle you find yourself at +130KM/H. Still awesome feeling everytime i see chance to floor it and getting pushed back in the seat..but RIP fuel.
I agree with all the pros you mentioned, but I consider the C43 to be the more sportier car, it's an actual AMG unlike the M340i which is a M lite. But can't go wrong with either. @@davidalenick1246
Hi, love from India, You said in the comments you own a 2022 bmw x4 m40i. I am confused between x4 and m340i. Compare to m340i how was the x4 handling?
Would you say its a good reliable/sports car? and I heard that people don't like the new ones because of the mild hybrid system and does the 2024 have the the first gen of the b58 or the second gen?
There are many iterations of the B58. I had the first gen in my 2016 340i XDrive. It had 320hp. Then with the m performance tune it was 335hp. The 2020 M340i was the high output B58 at 382hp. Then in 2021 the M340i also received the 48v mild hybrid system which is an 11hp boost though they still rate the engine at 382hp. Fuel economy did improve in the real world and there’s basically no turbo lag and the engine stop/start is very smooth. The X3 M40i received the same 382hp mild hybrid setup in 2022. I have a 2021 M340i XDrive and a 2023 X3 M40i XDrive.
Thanks for confirming to build my cars rather than buy off lots lol. There are break in periods for a reason. But I would get a base M3 than this car for similar money.
Nothing is going to happen to the car - relax! Most engines are broken in from the factory. Cars which don't allow you to do this will artificially limit themselves till 300 miles, like the X5 M60i, etc.
@davidalenick1246 speaking of which, I just did mine last week with 30 miles to spare. I followed the manual for the specific information regarding. I was warned by my CA that someone was revving it high etc and had problems. No warranty for him
Mine is fuy loaded and maxed out at 72k what does this have that made it 77? Mine has tanzanite special paint, leather seats, driving assist pro, shadowline package, parking assistance package, premium package, cooling & hp tire package, remote engine start, power tailgate, harmon kardon, driver recorder & destination charge
Do you know what style they are? Like the numbers? I don’t know how I haven’t seen them. Usually the ones with the shadowline package have the black with the brushed edges, which I like. Then there’s the standard silver ones. But I haven’t seen these, they look awesome. Are they black or are they like a dark grey?
@@DMCarReviews Not really. It’s my first car, I’ve saved up a lot and my dad agreed to help me with payments. I just want something that I can have fun with but also use to run some errands.
@@masteruc777 I'd go for an M340i in that case. You can't go wrong with either car though. The 540i is just much more of a luxury cruiser rather than a smaller sporty sedan.
I still prefer the steering and interior of the G70 3.3 Twin Turbo, for about $15k less. The screens remind me of my work from home setup in this car, with two clunky rectangle monitors, and the gauge displays are too cartoonish (and not as easy to read when driving hard), seemingly just to look different. I’ll be in the minority here I’m sure, but give me classic functionality over unusual instrument readout design. Analog all day for me! 4.5sec to 60 is plenty fast for me, considering I commute to a corporate job, not a drag strip. 😊
@@DK-et6lmoil changes every 10k. Usually BMW brakes and rotors are about every 50k but these MSport brakes are barely worn after 43k (still have 11mm front and 7mm back). They might last well over 100k. Tires every 25-60k depending on the tire and how you drive. Occasional air and cabin filters, occasional wipers, and brake fluid change every 40k and plugs every 60k. And no timing belt to deal with. Any oem supplies are easy to get online at about 20-30% off retail… even from your local BMW dealer. They really are almost in line with mainstream brands for maintenance costs.
It's not a second faster. First of all, if you floor both of them from idle (no launch), the M340i will beat an M3 RWD on the 0-60 with ease, and will be even with an M3 xDrive, maybe even get the initial jump advantage due to the electric motor and quicker spool. The only case where the M3 xDrive has a better time is from launch, but the difference is a little over half a second. Here are BMW times. M340i Sedan 4.4 sec M340i xDrive Sedan 4.1 sec M3 4.1 sec M3 Competition Sedan 3.8 sec M3 Competition xDrive Sedan 3.4 sec Hope this helps! Cheers.
Both great options, just depends on what you prefer more! The S4 has the massaging seats and it has lighter handling, which is again a matter of preference. I also love the interior scent of the S4, and the materials they use in the cabin doors. Also, you can get an S4 Premium Plus for under 60k after rebates and discounts.
Both are great options. The S4 e-diff makes it easy for an inexperienced driver to drive fast. It also isn’t picky on wheel/tire combos like the M340i but the M340i is the more balanced chassis. It doesn’t fall apart when driven at its limit and is faster, more fuel efficient, has better tech, and is more reliable and cheaper to maintain long term.
Both do similar 0-60 times off idle and have very close 1/8 mile times. Go watch my RS7 review. th-cam.com/video/Rx_8VGqq3ZU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DMCarReviews
@ Their idle 0-60 times aren't very different🤷♂️ This is not from launch control, where the difference grows to about half a second. Even then, it's much closer than you'd think, given a 200hp power difference.
Yes. Absolutely. Very familiar with all 3. The BMW has better driving dynamics and is also the fastest, the most fuel efficient, and has the best tech. FYI… I have AVERAGED 31.2mpg since I bought it 43,000 miles ago. And I drive 50% city 50% freeway and am a pretty spirited driver.
@@mikexlr8 First of all, the platform. The Audi RS3 is a VW Golf in every respect. The ride in the BMW is way nicer, the handling is better, it's much more responsive, the technology is far ahead, and I just prefer the BMW personally.
Out of everything you said, the handling is the most important to me. I’ve yet to test drive either of them but I will. If the handling is noticeably better with the M340i then I’ll likely go with it.
What a great car! Looks great in this spec!! M440i looks better imo but I prefer this one though, seems to be louder and its lighter as well which the last thing these cars needed was more weight😂😂
It is! As far as the weight, it's like a 100 lbs difference. The sound is due to the M exhaust, otherwise they are identical. I'd pick the M440i Gran Coupe personally.
I love and hate this care at the same time. The thing is that they made it way to complex. Everything contrôle is on the screen. I prefer digital boutons
I have a m440xi and before that an m340i, great fast cars, love them both, the 22' m440xi is slightly faster than the m340i but it feels a little slower (just the feeling, but the stopwatch doesn't lie). Handling wise though I had an Alfa Romeo Giulia 4 cyl and that car was absolutely superior, best car I have ever driven in that regard.
@@DMCarReviews well the Giulia ti 2l is not as quick, the quadrifoglio is a lot quicker than the m340, it’s not just the 0-60 that is not that different, m3, m340, Giulia Q are not soooooo different in that regard, but both the m3 and the Giulia Q have different overall performance compared to the m340, that I repeat is a fantastic car! The handling I’m sorry but like I said, not even comparable in my opinion, the Alfa is like a go kart, best handling car I have ever driven
@@DMCarReviews uhhhhh I think you are comparing apple to oranges here, the q has to be compared to the m3 or m3 competition, I mean, I love my car but come on….
@@SC-dp1gv So you basically admit a car for less money beats that Giulia in most categories. You know who's winning at the stop lights. I won't even mention reliability, technology, and traction safety. Alfa can't compete with BMW.
9:57 you confused the hell out of that driver, please drive with caution, you're further fueling the bad BMW driver reputation. Look at how he did the turn because he thinks you're insane.

@ weird, thought the 340i is around 4.4s and RS7 around the high 3s
@ Their idle 0-60 times aren't very different🤷♂️ This is not from launch control, where the difference grows to about half a second. Even then, it's much closer than you'd think, given a 200hp power difference.
This I like
Thank you for watching!
If it were your money, this or the G80 M3?
Hard choice actually. Both are very fast. The M340i is more comfortable and efficient than an M3. I'd have to drive the new M3 to give an answer.
I currently have an Audi S5. I've also owned a C43. Would you say this is better than both of those?
Yes, it's the better car in my opinion in every aspect.
Yes. Absolutely. Very familiar with all 3. The BMW has better driving dynamics and is also the fastest, the most fuel efficient, and has the best tech. FYI… I have AVERAGED 31.2mpg since I bought it 43,000 miles ago. And I drive 50% city 50% freeway and am a pretty spirited driver.
Im torn between m340i and fl5 type r
Easy choice. M340i is in a whole different league.
This or the Audi RS3?
BMW
What are the reasons? Have you driven the RS3 as well? I’m seriously planning to buy one next year. Genuinely torn.
@@mikexlr8 First of all, the platform. The Audi RS3 is a VW Golf in every respect. The ride in the BMW is way nicer, the handling is better, it's much more responsive, the technology is far ahead, and I just prefer the BMW personally.
Out of everything you said, the handling is the most important to me. I’ve yet to test drive either of them but I will. If the handling is noticeably better with the M340i then I’ll likely go with it.
What a great car! Looks great in this spec!! M440i looks better imo but I prefer this one though, seems to be louder and its lighter as well which the last thing these cars needed was more weight😂😂
It is! As far as the weight, it's like a 100 lbs difference. The sound is due to the M exhaust, otherwise they are identical. I'd pick the M440i Gran Coupe personally.
@@DMCarReviewsto each their own👍
@@robisking528For sure!
@@MuhammadAli-vs7qwOk troll... huge difference, we get it.
I love and hate this care at the same time. The thing is that they made it way to complex. Everything contrôle is on the screen. I prefer digital boutons
Is it more fun than Golf R? for a fraction of price
Granted, BMW is much more luxurious.
I haven't driven the newest Golf R, but of course the BMW will be better in every aspect. Completely different class.
@@DMCarReviews Perhaps, but I meant fun...
I have both m4 competition and m340 I x drive. M lovers please don't underestimate m340.
Exactly!
I would definitely upgrade to real leather, fake leather shouldn’t be an option on a car like this
It's vegetarian leather. It's more comfortable and holds shape better. Mercedes also uses vegetarian leather in many models.
***CRINGE WARNING***
Me: *meets BMW*
Also me: "Ooh, I think I'm in love."
I have a m440xi and before that an m340i, great fast cars, love them both, the 22' m440xi is slightly faster than the m340i but it feels a little slower (just the feeling, but the stopwatch doesn't lie). Handling wise though I had an Alfa Romeo Giulia 4 cyl and that car was absolutely superior, best car I have ever driven in that regard.
Interesting! I prefer the handling of the M340i over the Giulia. Also, both cars should have identical performance.
@@DMCarReviews well the Giulia ti 2l is not as quick, the quadrifoglio is a lot quicker than the m340, it’s not just the 0-60 that is not that different, m3, m340, Giulia Q are not soooooo different in that regard, but both the m3 and the Giulia Q have different overall performance compared to the m340, that I repeat is a fantastic car! The handling I’m sorry but like I said, not even comparable in my opinion, the Alfa is like a go kart, best handling car I have ever driven
@@SC-dp1gv The M340i will 98% beat the Quadrofoglio in a standing 1/4 mile. Handling is all relative to each driver, and how it feels to them.
@@DMCarReviews uhhhhh I think you are comparing apple to oranges here, the q has to be compared to the m3 or m3 competition, I mean, I love my car but come on….
@@SC-dp1gv So you basically admit a car for less money beats that Giulia in most categories. You know who's winning at the stop lights. I won't even mention reliability, technology, and traction safety. Alfa can't compete with BMW.
9:57 you confused the hell out of that driver, please drive with caution, you're further fueling the bad BMW driver reputation.
Look at how he did the turn because he thinks you're insane.
He just moved a lane. I didn't even get in his way.
At $77k, I would expect this car to be fully loaded. That's a rip off IMO.
It is pretty much fully loaded with the M Exhaust. It also came with good discounts too.
I love it but for 70 why not just get a M3💀
M3 is 85-90k
@@DMCarReviews what about the F80 50 to 60
@@Roshan8825-y5d That's a used car with an unknown history. No idea how they were driven.
This car would be perfect without the stupid double tablet on the dashboard and stupid gauge design.
I think it's very well implemented.
every single launch control you did was done completely wrong
Thank you for watching! It was great to match BMW's factory claimed 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds.
@@DMCarReviews haha you're a nice guy. i appreciate the video. the car is a beast
70k though … why not just buy an m3 drive ?
M3 is 80-90k on average, and it's less comfortable.
This car doesn't corresponds with your driving skills and abilities, sorry bro...
How did you determine that, lol?
Too bad comments keep getting deleted
Oh well, I am not deleting them... so must be a technical issue
