I get my hands on this 700nm BMW M340d Touring, after a few launch controls and skids on private land, we take it on road and discover it's every bit as good as the M340i Touring.
Thanks for watching as always, see you at at the next video!

I have to be so careful when I look at your videos - I bought my X3M40i primarily based on your review of it about 2 years ago. I had my eye on waiting for the M3 touring as a replacement for the X3 - but i am really tempted by your reviews of either the M40i or M40D.........

@LandscapesDronescapes 3 года назад

@Bigger Issues VRS in Northampton helped me. BMW were useless. Could offer no explanation why my car was doing 25% less mpg than before they replaced the ECU. A guy at AC Scnitzer told my unofficially it’s likely due to the emissions scandals. Basically lots of manufacturers were at it. Old software fixes it. Or a decent map.

@bradulovic82 3 года назад

@Nomore4x4s I understand what are you saying and I agree, but by that logic, you dont need a BMW at all, Golf or Focus with 150 BHP engines will do the job you want. I was more commenting as if you could choose one car/engine for using it as a family car and as a sport/weekend driving on the twisty roads, then these engines are perfect for that role. You could also use 320d od 330i, you wouldnt feel any lack of power in them, but if I had to choose, I would always go for the Inline-6. Just my preference.

@manoszervas9613 3 года назад

G Staples about 1 second , but considering that M340d is only 30-40kg heavier and with a tune from Schnitzer you have 385 hp and 790nm , it will be even faster than M340i in 0-200. It will also be much more efficient and better cruiser. In my opinion M340d sedan is the best non fully m car you can buy by far 😍

Great video Joe and also great to see a petrolhead giving an honest opinion on a diesel. I have had 320D, 330D, 335D and 435D. I currently have a V8 petrol as a treat to myself but there is something very special about the BMW straight 6 diesel and how easy it is to live with on a daily basis. It is quicker, in gear, than most petrol engined cars, makes overtaking so easy and yet sips fuel at a very parsimonious rate: what's not to like? It even sounds decent.

I'll be honest and say I was a little annoyed that the 335d wasn't mentioned in the review...sorry Joe. Regarding F31 it was a slightly better driving/handling car post facelift (2016my) and the performance figures are minimal difference between 335d and M340d by the looks of things.I know what I'd have at 50% of the cost of the later.

It is not only about 0-100 km/h! What about 100-200? Or 80-120? There you'll see the real gain and more power difference for the M340i. The maximum torque rpm range is a lot bigger for the petrol, also the maximum power range. This diesel is very good, but Joe, you know what I mean. The petrol sound and feel is on another level as well.

@valentintudor9272 3 года назад

I owned a X3 M40i for a few years. I checked on RU-vid (AutoTopNL etc.) and it seems 0-160 km/h and 0-200 km/h are way quicker for X3 M40i vs. M40d, but very similar for 0-100, 4.8s vs. 4.9s. M40i - 160 10s, 200 17s, M40d - 160 12s, 200 20s. I would say this is quite a difference. Indeed, it has 326HP and 680nm instead of 340HP and 700NM with MHEV, but also M340i is a bit more powerful with 374HP vs. 360HP. It would be nice you to shoot the videos with the comparison.

@GS-pk9rd 3 года назад

Good video. Interesting that the m340i is faster than the d though, now they're both AWD it's a fair comparison. In the UK the 335d was only ever xdrive so people would mistake a fractionally faster 0-62 on paper as meaning the d was a quicker car - this proves, as I suspected that the B58 engine is superior - despite the lower peak torque figure the 340i will spread it over a bigger range and being able to rev to 7k gives more flexibility for in gear sprints not to mention noise and drama. I've no doubt the m340d is extremely competent but ultimately there'd be just no point unless you were doing big miles. And I can't imagine many are these days..? (Speaking as an f31 340i owner which I absolutely love).

@gust0o 3 года назад

To be honest matey, having owned both the 335d and M340d now, you're getting the economy across all trip types, long and short. I did like the M340i, but I do have the big commutes and trips - and the 335d was just a dream for them. It was a 45mpg missile, and the M340d is no different - and both put the S4 in the shade.

@@gust0oyes but the m340i allegedly gets 40 (I've read even 45) on a run so it's hard to justify the diesel, with he extra fuel cost and maintenance likely eroding any money savings.

That's incredible. Great video Joe, as always. Please share your post love the seats. Had a 325i Coupe years ago with red leather.

Good video diesels are fantastic for torque no need for red lining and so relaxing as you say makes a change from the petrols.

@invisiblekid99 3 года назад

A truly amazing car, that hopefully will stop people buying a "X" model, but probably not. My only displeasure is that unavoidable 5k rpm limit. With such a good autobox though, and just cruising, I'm sure it's fine. But I'd still have the 340i.

@@wheelieking3976 I’ve had V6 diesels, and loved them. Day to day and cruising they are good. But they are not as rewarding as a free revving power petrol.

Great review mate & what an awesome everyday family car or for those odd occasions where you need to flash the sports car in front to get out of the way as long as it’s not 🌧

Hey Joe I love watching your videos, you are the best when it comes to car reviews, shhhhh dont mention that to Matt from CARWOW LOL, after watching your review on the BMW 440i i went and got myself the M440i Coupe, and love the car, now even better power after getting the ECU remapped, now pushing 425BHP and 650NM. Regards Sean.

Been looking for a replacement for my e91 330d and it sounds like this could be it. Nice video and review 😊👍🏻

@jezbo7827 3 года назад

I too have an e91 but the 335d. It’s a tough one to find a replacement for as the driving experience of these cars is amazing. Like you, I’m tempted by this one though.

@vx4716 3 года назад

BMWs diesel engines really are amazing. cars like the 530d and 330d are allready stunning in the way they drive

@dsummers8191 3 года назад

Good video from Joe Achilles. I think it is high time that we stopped conveying this idea that an estate car should not perform in such a dynamic fashion. Modern engineering can deal with this challenge. Sounds like a good event by BMW to enable Joe to present this great car in an exciting way to his audience. Choosing between M340i and M340d would be a tough task.

@tomgallington6129 3 года назад

Great video again Joe. Any idea if the 48v mild hybrid system will be added on the M340i?

@adammiller6932 Год назад

Think I’m with you and Autotopnl loving this car. Well100% if I could get M135i seats and an Alcantara wheel on it!

@FutureGameLight 3 года назад

i have a e92 335d with a tune downpipe and intercooler. i have 350 hp and 700nm ... to get this performance out of the box is just great. i might switch to this as my daily and get a more performance oriented car as a fun car. well at least when they will go down in price after a few years

@gust0o 3 года назад

You seem a lot happier in this vid than the S4 one!

@dcboth 3 года назад

Please send one to the USA! Such a shame they stopped selling the touring in the states!

@Fret-knot 3 года назад

Another great review, Joe. This one is definitely on my list. I've always liked the 6 cylinder diesel touring. I've never heard of a race/test track where you can't have any tyre squeal.... Really?! 😆

@roverroko306 3 года назад

I live in Croatia and our economy is just not as frugal as most of EU and GB. But even though I can't afford this tremendous machine brand new. I will own it almost new, that is enough for me. Just to clarify a bit my view from a previous comment.
