If I hadn’t found my M3 with low kms. I would have bought one of these.😊

This is the ultimate dad machine. I have a 22 M340i and absolutely adore it. Perfect for hauling the family around it and a bit of fun when I’m by myself. My commute is actually enjoyable, thanks to the Driver Assistant Pro package. Hell of a machine. BMW’s got a hell of an engine with the B58. Classic in the making.

Got this car in 2019 and couldn’t be happier. 3 years later still the best daily option. I prefer the smaller screen with buttons.

I bought a 2020 m340i. Love it! Sporty when I want and efficient when I need. Average 36mpg on the highway in Miami/palm beach traffic

[OleMisss]

If anyone is in love with this car but can’t quite justify financing one or whatever the case is. Look into the older gen 340i. Preferably an m sport. You can’t go wrong with the b58 in the sedan. Can make big power with less than $2k mods.

[drivescene]

The reigning king of this segment. B58+ZF8= perfection

[TodorKatsarski]

Also one HUGE advantage over the M3 - the front doesn't look hideous! The M340i looks properly good! Kudos for keeping the nice looks!

I just bought my 2023 M340i, because of this review, so far the only down side in my car is it didn't come with the heads up display and no remote start unless I pay the extra $300, which that is not an issue I just wish it came with it pre-installed. Overall the power it has is mind blowing to the point I do not notice going 90+ mph in comfort mode. the sudden exhaust backfire sounds when you put it in sports + is a big +++

I bought a 21 M340i. Personally disagree with the new front end looking more aggressive. The changes aren’t bad but the notches under the headlights were removed. It completely changes the look in my opinion because it used to look unique. The diffuser I think feels completely out of place unless you’re buying black and it all blends in. The lack of buttons and gear shifter crosses the line of practicality vs minimalist. Overall, it’s nice but I’m glad i got the pre-LCI

[Shaggy]

Brilliant review! I love how you mention how it can do everything to a really high level (which is why i'm buying one), the supposed direct competitors to this are the Audi S4 and Merc C43 AMG, which are both not only slower, less tech-packed, but also cost more... which doesn't make them competitors. This car is closer in performance to the RS4 and C63, both of which cost significantly more than this. This car can go from feeling like a comfortable, quiet, smooth 5-series, to suddenly feeling like an M3 performance car in the flick of a switch, all whilst averaging over 35mpg which is insane. They could charge 20% more for this car and it'd still sell loads.

The "hockey stick" is called a Hofmeister kink and is one of the traditional design feature of a BMW 3 series - it is all over the car too

[FrankJo]

Honestly the front headlights looks like every other car now. I remember my 335is had the angel eyes halo look, and that was a huge flex. I don't know if it's due to me being older now 44, but I feel like you really experience the drive with it being manual. That huge wide screen monitor iPad has to go. Besides that, the car looks pretty cool!

[imzystackaveli]

Ordered one in Brooklyn grey, expecting it around march. Very dope car!!

[emnissansr]

The M340i is everything that my sports sedan wants to be.

[madpistol]

Traded in my '21 M340i for a '22 M440i Gran Coupe. I just can't get enough of the B58 + ZF 8-speed. It's such an amazing powertrain.

[oliversun]

The big iPad curve screen is a deal breaker to me. If with the previous gen interior and the new exterior, this car would be perfect.

[sbusisozulu]

Very nicely shot video. One of the best I have seen of the LCI actually. Brilliant.
Just on the M mirrors. They fit very well here. They do nothing for performance its an aesthetic detail. Yes first was exclusive on M cars and now on M Performance cars. It’s just mirrors!

[Screaming-Trees]

I looked far and wide for a sports car and finally came around to the answer that was staring me in the face all along I just didn't see it. This thing. It's a sport car with four doors and a big boot that you can live with day to day and on a road trip it's a lot of fun plus driver assists are fantastic if you have to hit the motorway. Like you said you can't beat this. If you want to tune it, it's there. The mild hybrid drive will also get you great fuel economy (40mpg isn't unheard of on the motorway). Best of all you don't need to compromise. With a sports car it's always a compromise. It's two door or not enough boot space or whatever it is. Anyway, seriously impressive.

[Areku]

I like LCI m340i, you are right. S4 tried to beat, Mercedes C43 tried. None can compare because of that engine, drivetrain is perfect.

[TheBreakfastLover]

No question the M340i is the top dog of its segment. But it'll never shake the public perception of being second fiddle to the M3. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
