Alon Babaev really appreciate this comment! Glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for the sub!

Thanks! Very glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Really glad to hear we could help you decide. Also thanks for the view and kind remarks! Thanks!

Thanks!

Earle Beckford yeah. I’ll be interested to see if BMW follows through with offering the M3/4 with AWD and what that does for the performance. Thanks for watching and the sub!

rideXdrive The M3/4 from what I’ve heard will be available with AWD and I hope the car will allow for a rear wheel drive config like the M5 does

Earle Beckford agreed. Should be interesting.

Thanks!

I prefer that grill. Thanks for reviewing it so well.

Toro 2017 agreed. thanks for your comment!

What are the cons?

@@vincentmcintosh4507 was just about to ask

What are your cons

Kiss my axe thank you!

It's definitely fun to drive!

Many thanks!! Glad you found it informative! It was a really cool and fun car. Good luck making your decision!

Thanks!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Two quotes from the video. “There are some things that could be better but overall the M430i xDrive is one bad mother….” Considering I have not spent much time with its direct competitors, on its own “I can unequivocally say, the M340i is an amazing car.” Not sure how much clearer I can be that it’s a good car. Every brand has its pluses and minuses. BMW makes incredible cars. Their design is a bit questionable these days but the design is art and art is opinion. So if you like it, who cares what others think. No car is perfect and I try to point out the things that stand out as potential negatives without being unnecessarily bitter or critical. If you did a bit of research, took one for a test drive before ordering it, and you liked it... then you made the right choice! This wasn't our personal car and the owner actually purchased it with the aftermarket grille already fitted. So I am not sure of the brand or where the grille was purchased from. However, if you google search 'm340i front grille', you’re sure to find one that is similar. Maybe find a good message board! I hope this helps to answer your comment. Really appreciate you watching and leaving this message! This car is really good. If you don’t like it, you will be hard-pressed to find anything better!

@@ridexdrive thanks man!!!! I did test drive one. My only concern is speed. I hope I can tune it one day. Once again your review was detailed, entertaining and extremely informative. Thanks man. You’re awesome at this.

Thanks again. Congrats on the new purchase!

Yeah. It's been my experience in a number of BMWs. Played around with adjustments and still didn't give me the sound I expected. It's not bad just didn't meet my expectations. To be fair, my expectations for sound are pretty high. Also, I believe the 30i and 40i have the same system.

There’s always Lexus. ☺️

Cinnamon Rage compared to BMW’s of old, I wouldn’t really call those Halos. More like hockey sticks. Although they are closer to halos than the standard LEDs.

The ride is a small price to pay for all the other great features but definitely understand. Thanks for the comment!

La Boite Aux Rythmes Montpellier I believe it’s Mineral Grey Metallic. Haven’t been able to confirm that yet. I’m not sure if Oxide Grey is available in the US. If someone knows better, let me know. Thanks for watching!

It is mineral grey 99.9%. It is not dravit and oxide is also different

Thanks!

Overall, yeah. With the previous 2 generations, there was some room to debate if the 3 was the leader in all categories like earlier generations. Some areas can be subjective though. Thanks for the comment!

Aizen Sosuke haha. Thanks. This comment made me lol. Happy to hear.

Yeah. It’s been our experience with a number of BMWs and the HK audio system. Others seem to really like them. Then with some systems we like, others don’t like them. I guess it comes down to preference. Did try adjusting the EQ and never found anything that was to our liking. Again, not a bad system by any stretch. Just not the best we’ve heard. Subaru frontend. Haha! The first M340i’s to be released apparently make more power than the current models due to BMW doing an “update” that decreased power. Lol. Thanks! Appreciate the comment and you sharing your thoughts.

Shaunt lol no problem, we don’t want it plush or luxurious. But it’s a BMW at the end of the day and folks in the market for this car might want a more luxurious or plush feeling suspension. So it was worth mentioning. Also part of the problem with brands putting their performance badges on everything in their lineup, such as the M and AMG badges, is that it makes people think it’s a true performance car, when it really isn’t, at least not compared to an M3 or M4. Although the engines in these cars have M levels of performance, the suspension is usually the one place where a distinct line can be drawn between these M trim models and true M cars. But yeah, never said we wanted it to be plush, just mentioned that it wasn’t exactly what you would call plush and BMW offers an adaptive suspension that may help give a better balance of stiff and comfortable. Hope this helps explain what we were getting at there. Thanks for the comment and view!

Perfect summation!

You need to change that run flat. That was the first thing i did when i got it home.

jahudini if it were mine, I would!
