The 2023 BMW M340i LCI is back with a slightly new look, but a refreshed interior that brings much needed technology to this sports sedan. In a market where the Audi S4, Genesis G70, and Mercedes Benz C43 AMG pose a serious threat to the ultimate driving machine, the 2023 BMW M340i is equipped to take on all the challengers. This BMW M340i does have the M performance exhaust to make commuting more fun, and with the Adaptive M Suspension you can enjoy a nice a smooth ride. So let's see how the 2023 BMW M340i stacks up in the luxury sports sedan market.
Huge thank you to Herb Chambers BMW of Sudbury for providing the BMW M340i LCI for this review!

Great review. I have had for about a month and it’s such a nice driving car. It’s hard to not be in sport mode.

It's crazy how a base model BMW M340I xDrive has a MSRP of 56k dollars, while in the netherlands we have to pay 86k for a base model M340i xDrive..

@user-rk1pp4fw2x 3 месяца назад

Do you recommend the MPE over the stock exhaust? Hopefully you have driven both maybe different years? I have a 2023 M340ix and was thinking about changing to MPE. Hard decision for me. Stock sounds pretty good and hate to cut the pipes. It's hard to find a car with MPE to hear in person.

@metalstorm45 Год назад

Great review. Previously owned 3 AMGs since 2015. They have gone down the drain with the removal of V8 and V6, putting in a 4 cylinder hybrid that sounds like a vacuum cleaner from the outside yet the price has gone up. Doesn't seem justifiable. Have they made a big mistake of Bud Light magnitude, only time will tell. One thing for sure M340i now seems like a much better option than the 2023 C43 AMG.

Is that the exhaust that comes on the car or an extra?

@BostonAutoBlog Год назад

The M Performance Exhaust is a $2500 add on but it is installed by the dealer

@jimc5696 Год назад

@@BostonAutoBlog so just confirming, this rather loud sounding exhaust is not stock on the 2023 340ix? Turbo engines just don’t sound that great - and a louder exhaust makes them worse. I had the Mperformance exhaust in my e90M3 - but that was a NA engine. For my 340 - I prefer it to be more quiet

@jimc5696 Год назад

Is the sport exhaust adjustable? Can it be set to a quiet mode vs what we heard in the first half of the video? I think that would get a bit annoying for daily driving...

@LiLGhettoSmurfOG Год назад

Keep it in normal mode, sport opens the baffles. It is a performance trim so the exhaust is going to be louder than say a normal 540i

@alexphoummany5021 Год назад

@-Nevaex- Год назад

Would it be smarter to get a fully loaded 330i or a standard 340i?

@jithendra532 Год назад

a 340i as you know is an inline 6, wherein the 330i is an inline 4, personally i feel like the 340i has a lot more potential than a 330i, if u can spend the money then a 340i is what i would suggest, if not then the 330i is still a very good car, so it would still be a good option to get a 330i

@jithendra532 Год назад

@-Nevaex- Год назад

@@jithendra532 the 340i looks so beautiful and I want it so bad, the problem is it might be too much for me. I have other bills I have to pay off including a house I just bought so I can’t afford a crazy bill. I’m already paying 470 a month for my current car and 430 a month for my insurance on top of mortgage, phone bill, food, and other things I have to buy. My insurance is high because I have two cars under it and they told me since I’m younger than 25 my insurance will be high. I know if I get the 340i my insurance will skyrocket up and I can’t even imagine what my bill will be for vehicle itself. But yes I want the 340i so bad but I think it’s better to play it smart and go for the 330i until I’m financially ready for the more expensive car

@fixpoint Год назад

Are you saying these aren’t even available as options?

@bmw3842 Год назад

Adaptive cruise control and parking assist have been missing from the build since 2021. And on other BMW models. I have a 2021 that was built before the semiconductor chip shortage. So I have these options on my car. There is no timeline when they will be back. This also applies to the Mini Cooper cars as well. These features are only their high end models. These two are the last options that did not come back. Just go to BMW website and pick a car and select options and you’ll see if the car you like has that option. Once you have adaptive cruise control. You won’t drive another car without it.

@fixpoint Год назад

@@bmw3842 Thanks for the information. I, too, have been spoiled with adaptive cruise control since 2016 in my A4 prestige. I use it all the time (even off highway) and would never consider a car without it. I was seriously eyeing the m340, but this is a non-starter for me. Thank you!

@bmw3842 Год назад

@@fixpoint You’re welcome.

@fixpoint Год назад

@@bmw3842 Are you sure it is not part of the Active Driving Assistant Pro in the Driving Assistance Professional Package? I went to the bmw site (USA) and built out a m340i, x5 m50, and a x7. They all have the same options without explicitly stating adaptive cruise control. Does that mean none of these vehicles have it? The new x7 is top of the line, so I’m surprised to see it would not have it? On a forum I thought I read someone say that adaptive cruise control is part of the active driving assistant pro package. This is perplexing. I’ll know for sure this Friday as we pick up a new x5.
