On this day I finally got to experience what an xDrive BMW is all about. It was cool to experience and big shout out to Sal for making it happen. An AWD 340i feels a lot different since I've been driving a RWD F30 since 2018. It just has a totally different feel. It provides a lot of confidence on road and I know it would be a big help in the snow or rain with proper tires. Hope this video helps you to decide if you're shopping for an F30. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Thanks for tuning in!

I went X drive on my F30 340i because coming from Quattro Audi's I just like to have the confidence to point and shoot without the drama of wheel spin. Rwd is totally cool, I can completely understand for some applications may be the preference for different purposes but I'm happy with AWD. Great video! 👍

@skrrtproductions Год назад

That is a nice aspect about X-drive. Don’t have worry as much about losing control and driving off the road 😂. Can still get some under steer while cornering, but that launch confidence is nice. Thanks bro! And thanks for tuning in! 🙏🏼

Yeah I love both versions but do prefer RWD on this platform. However if trying to push > 600whp I can see where the advantages of xdrive come in

@john346x7 Год назад

If I were in Florida, I would get RWD. However, I live in the North East and there is too much snow and ice to count on a RWD for my daily driver. Honestly, the AWD 340 rotates well in turns and is a lot of fun. Pick the right tool for the job, I would go AWD in the Northern States.

I have a question also about tires, if you just make a quick start from the traffic lights how often you will change your tires on RWD?)

@skrrtproductions Год назад

Not often. I'd have to floor it pretty hard to get the wheels to spin with traction off. I'm on Michelin PS4S tires which are great tires, and have been on them for almost a year and they're still good tread wise

@ryanb8736 Месяц назад

Drive because of amazing launches and ultimate grip in the rain to carry some high speed with ease.

@MickeyGlover Год назад

I bought my 2011 bmw 328i xdrive in Nebraska, because I needed. If I get a 340i, I'll probably go for Rwd, since I'm back in Texas. What did he mean about the timing chain? Thought the m3/m4 were the only ones with the crank hub issus.

@skrrtproductions Год назад

Timing chain issues pertain to the N20 motor in the 2012-2015 F chassis models. They were made with weak plastic guides that were prone to breaking which could then grenade the engine. Yea, crank hub only major issue in the F8x chassis

@@MickeyGlover what Kylar said is a great definition, when I said that I was referring to my previous F30 328i which had the N20, luckily I never ran into any issues for the time I had it, and the new owner said she’s holding up nicely. It’s really a hit or miss with the N20 you get a good one where the guides survive or they don’t lol. My dad actually has an N20 and he has about about 132k miles on it so it all depends on if you got one of the lucky ones and ofc how you treat and maintain the car.

With that type of power you want the awd , right? From what I understand AWD is .2 seconds faster to 60 on stock.

I mean it’s all preference. I prefer RWD bc I’m in Florida, don’t see snow, and like how the car feels being lighter with power only going to the back wheels

@TheDailyDriven Год назад

My first BMW was a 2014 F30 335xi, 6speed manual and was pretty much fully loaded. Loved that car and was made well aware of the cheap chargepipes after they failed lol. One of the annoyance of the X-drive was (at the time 2014) there was limited suspension options. You also need to keep the rolling diameter in a certain ratio in order to not affect the diff. Solid video.

@skrrtproductions Год назад

The one that started it all 😆. Great point on the suspension! Limited options but still able to make it work nowadays to achieve the stance and fitment you want. Thanks for bringing that up brotha and thanks for watching 🫡

@ianvelarde8517 Год назад

I just got an xdrive 340 though I really wish it was rwd. I settled though because it was a 6speed and I couldn’t find any more that were rwd with low miles.

Sorry to hear that. How did that happen?

@Mr318live 5 месяцев назад

If the 340i came with a LSD, I think the RWD model would even better but they reserve that for the M models. If you touching 500hp you need xDrive because a 255mm width tire is about all you can fit on a square stance and -/+ 275mm with offset. But balance is everything and you can tune the torque down by gear these days with BoostMod

@skrrtproductions 5 месяцев назад

Can always install the LSD if you got it like that lol. I’m around 480-490 to the wheels on E50 with RWD and I love breaking the back end a lil loose sometimes. Too much fun. Prefer the feel over xdrive

How really RWD is dangerous? For example for drivers that had only FWD cars? For example in snow or rain if you drive slowly you can still have a problem? I thinking about RWD and Xdrive right now and don't have experience with RWD, a lot of people tell me that I will get used to RWD.

@skrrtproductions Год назад

It really depends on the driver and tires, but if you keep traction on it's not that dangerous in the rain. I honestly don't have much experience with driving RWD in the snow but if you have a good set of winter tires and even chains if you're going up/down slopes you should be alright. Do you live in a snowy climate?
