The amount of people that tell me “you should have got an M3” is so frustrating. It’s always the 2005 Camry owners. I got what I could afford. $29k is a SUBSTANTIAL jump. What ever car you get, bozos will always say you could have gotten something better. Love the videos!
I have the 2023 340i same color with red interior, in Sport plus its really fun to drive, and probably a better daily IMO then the M3 and got it for under 65, 000
You’d get an amazing car for an even better price!

I went with the M340i over the M3 to get the sunroof, a towbar and the preheat functionality during the cold winter months. Also, since I'll be using it as a daily driver, I want a car which can also offer some proper comfort. For those who like spending their spare time on tracks though, clearly the M3 is the car to go with.
if you plan to keep the car, any "stock" M cars holds their resale value better. The 340i is the sensible enthusiast car choice. They are both fast enough to loose your license
@AyyyMan never get a used sports car like m340i, m3, etc . Always buy them new because there is a very high probability they had been already beaten hard by their previous owners, especially in North America. if its a normal, non -sports boring car then going also used is ok...
The M3 is another level car ….. I’ve driven the m340i on a road course and it performed great until I tried the g80 wow day and night difference …. I bought an M3 and never looked back
@AyyMan Bro what is u even talking about! M3 interior exterior is on a different level. M3 everyday all day. M340i is good but nah M3 is a beast. Disagree with the guy said seats are not comfortable, love those seats and the color.
M3 is definitely the better car but these two cars as spec’d, the M3 is 30k more. We’re debating FOR THE MONEY, what’s the better deal. He also said the seats are comfortable, just tough to get in and out of
Yep no doubt he did it well. I’m no expert but would you say all of his mods are somewhere around 15K-20K? I think you made the right call with getting the full M.
I don't mean to ruffle any feathers... but I'm gonna say it. The G80 M3 is probably the best looking BMW to date. I love the front, the stance, the profile. It is just gorgeous to me. I'd take it if I could afford it haha. But for now I'll stick with my X3 M40i.
You suffer from a lack of hindsight. If you previously owned a M340xi, owning a M3 will be a no brainer. I owned one for 3 1/2 years, before i purchased a M3. Probably you should have done that first. M340xi Hint : - At 128+ miles/hour you start hitting the stability threshold . Confidence takes a dive. - You must always engage sport shift mode even in Eco, Sport and sport +, else you experience a lag. - You will need to top your oil regularly, at least in my experience. - Always have to disengage auto start/Stop every time you start the car (2020 model). - Elephant in the room. I simply got bored of it after reaching its extremes several times. I suppose BMW was just preparing me for the next step. Besides the aforementioned, it was an amazing machine.
had an M340i, which was an okay daily driver. But if you want a fun car to drive, it's not the one for you. The acceleration from 60 to 100 mph is uninspiring. So I switched to an M4 Competition xDrive. I found it more comfortable than the M340i, but the steering in both cars felt numb. I wanted more. I got rid of the M4 and bought a Macan GTS. It was nice, but I missed the speed of the M4. I wanted something with more mechanical feel, more power, and better steering. I ended up with the new M3 CS. I couldn't be happier. The car is epic. I thought $120,000 for an M3 was too much, but after driving it, I realized it's a bargain. If you can find an allocation, you owe it to yourself to get in one.
I feel you were just being real nice to that guy, there is no way M340 looks better than M3 from any angle. Not sure why nobody ever says it but the M340 looks like EV because of that grill design
Yeah when the M3 came out, so many people hated the front end because of that grill. Personally I never minded it but the M340i just has a more classic BMW look in the front. Every other angle tho, I vote M3
@@THExKINGxKINGx Factually not true. 340 looks and drives exactly like a cheaper 330 with some more power which is not that bad but nothing exciting there too, it lacks the aggressive character that M3 brings with that design. Most of those almost everybody you talk about have obviously never seen both cars in real and only formed their decisions listening to others since G80s are still rare compared to 340s
@@ayyyman_ personal preference. I feel as though S drive is more sporty and lively than X drive. Although I have to say the X drive on the G series BMW's is much better than on the F chassis. But in my opinion driving is about more than just off the line performance
Bro why would you regret your car bro you need better rims lower it & straight pipe it & tune you have no idea what your car is capable of why are you regretting🤣
2020 m340i is better, you’ll go from 68k to 40k and up. you get the classic dash, shift knob, and the dme unlock so you can tune the car. everything else is the same.
Please don’t forget to like the video! Let me know, for the money, what car would you get?

I love red interior but that BMW Mocha is just different🔥
If u looking to down grade … DO IT! But can’t top the m3 brotha .. u at the top right now! Great things take hard work
Thank you bro! If I get an M340i at this point, it’ll be to replace the 330i as my daily
For the g80 it depends on what color u got!! I went with dravit and mine looks insane.
My dravits on order super hyped about it
Dravit grey is a beautiful color! Looks even better in person
I went with IOMG looks even better 🤘💯💚
bro M3 all the way even without mods. with mods its not even a question, amaizing car bro looking forward to the mods :D
Y’all doing well either way. Congrats. I would take a manual m3 with no options, stock rims and a sunroof.
You’d get an amazing car for an even better price!

You can get a sunroof on the m3 and preheat from ur phone
Those options were not available here in Sweden at least. What is the source of your information?
That 340i is too clean cool spec

Great video man. Loving this channel.
G8X is way stiffer than G2X.. it's a good looking car but will not perform like G8X when you really start pushing it
His m340 is hella clean nonetheless 🔥🔥
That 340 wishes it looked as good as the Motorsport cars
The M3 is definitely better looking overall but the M340i still looks really good!
@@ayyyman_ yes it does, very professional looking 🔥

Are you going to do the Adro front bumper on the G80?
what was the color of the m340i?
Dravit grey
The hate for the new M grill is just a fad. New M3 is fire
Facts… people just like to mimic what the masses are saying. I bet most people who hate it haven’t even seen it in person
I like the 340 looks better in this case
Yeah for me it’s really the front end
Big difference between the 2 price wise but how much were the mods on the M340i?
Good question. I know the lip, side skirts and spoiler probably weren’t too bad but the KWs and wheels… love the way he modded it tho
Yep no doubt he did it well. I’m no expert but would you say all of his mods are somewhere around 15K-20K? I think you made the right call with getting the full M.
S58 ALL DAY!!! You chose correctly which is why the M3 is way more desirable, especially with everything it gives.
Clean build but for mid 60s I’d get a M2, and for 50s a M240i awd would be another great option.
Yeah good point. Personally I would get it used for somewhere in the 50s. M2 is cool but now being a dad, four doors comes in clutch lol
@@ayyyman_ haha that’s why you get a daily family hauler as well. 🤣
@@randomhobbyist99 haha facts! That’s what I have the X3 and 330i for
@@ayyyman_ nice yea I rock a 22 M3CX and a wrangler 4xe as my daily.

You made the right choice here, also, for around 70k I’d take the G87 over the M340i.
Overall, I agree! I love the M3. For a fun car perspective, I’d probably go M2 as well for the money
G87 IS UGLY AF
What’s the instagram page for the M340
Blendedgrey_
Solid vid. Is this one of the Ridgehill garage lots?
Definitely looks like Ridge hill lots
Different engines as well
Both 🔥 cars
I got mine for 36 at about 40k miles
Damn, that depreciation is epic for the M340i.
You suffer from a lack of hindsight. If you previously owned a M340xi, owning a M3 will be a no brainer. I owned one for 3 1/2 years, before i purchased a M3. Probably you should have done that first.

Right of the bat I prefer the front bumper on the 340m. But isn’t there a DME that super restricted to tune it on 2023 bimmers?
I saw another video where someone mentioned he could mod a 2020 M340i. But i guess newer that that you cant or its hard.
@@iAmMylesV yeah I know someone with 2020 m340 he stage 2 with no problem, I think they started locking down dme in 2022
The M3 is a race car , it’s ok to me that it’s a looks a little on the wild side.
G80 is the equivalent of a skyline. It’s germanys skyline. Only cheaper but also great!! That’s my opinion.
340i over bucked teeth M3

A Macan gts ??? 😂
Lol don’t knock the macan till u drive it they handle pretty good
M3 CS ?? Only a few delivered until now?
The M340 looks better than the G80 in my opinion. Something about the G80 that’s off.
340 I's no Bueno looks like a 2010 model
I don't care what's done to that 340, I'm not selling my M3CX for it... no comparison.
G80 front end looks far better. Bmw should stick to this grill going forward.
Sorry M is M
Personally I don’t like the 340i look
I feel you were just being real nice to that guy, there is no way M340 looks better than M3 from any angle. Not sure why nobody ever says it but the M340 looks like EV because of that grill design

Only poors will pick 340i over the G8x. Esp G8x Xdrive
I mean ur still hurting the engine with putting mods on. So an M3 is better since it’s done fast from factory. Your tripping brother
Did you watch the video? Lol No one said it’s faster
