BMW M340d review - M3 thrills for a fraction of the price? 

Same haha loved it! sold mine 2 years ago, and from MOT records see it still going strong with 220k miles on the clock

They're epic aren't they? And when you get bored you can just remap them… a bit. - Tim

Ditto. I had a 2010 300d coupé and I loved it. The torque made overtaking an utter joy. Car in front. Big gap. Foot down. Overtake. And gone. Then slow down as the 60 mph label was now somewhere below the speedo's needle ;-))... The only thing I did, when I needed to, was to change the run flat tyres to Bridgestone non-run flats and that took the cars comfort to another level. But... Sadly, and due to illness and having to retire from work, I couldn't afford to keep her running 8-((... _C'est la vie..._

Thanks Paul - I'd love one as a daily driver! - Tim

Thanks for watching Mr Pigeon! - Tim

I've been doing so many miles for work lately I've really appreciated diesel mileages. It's definitely not dead - Tim

Yeah I saw that - interesting choice!

It's because they only officially count up to the window line. So really, there's loads more space. I think. - Tim

Yep. Electric motor helps the turbo in certain areas which is why it’s described as a ‘twin power turbo’ rather than twin turbo has he states. You’d think car people would know their stuff.?

@@moonbaby6134 actually twin power turbo alludes to twin scroll and not the fact that there is an electric motor assisting. Otherwise we wouldn't have had twin power on the 118i 1.5 turbo petrol of around 8 years ago. You'd think commenters on car threads would know their stuff. 🤦😂

@@SmartfoolGB lol. Isn’t that what this engine for the 340d does? The hybrid motor makes up for lag and flat points to assist in turbo capabilities, or does the 340d actually have twin turbos. Cos I’ve seen both stated!?

@@moonbaby6134 BMW used to have twin turbo power which at some point changed to twin power turbo which is single turbo with twin exhaust inlets or twin exhaust outlets I forget which one but both are for faster flow through the turbo. Then there is MHT Which is the electric assist when moving off and power gaps. This technology is available across the BMW range including in the 340d.

We've toned them down these days. Thanks for the kind comment though! -Tim

I'm a big fan (I think that came across!) -Tim

Yeah, I guess that's progress though isn't it. Oh, and all the safety features you need.

The facelift's certainly not quite as distinctive, is it? Cheers for watching! - Tim

I also agree on the facelift, i think that within time those screens will fade away, and a normal setup wil come back.

First time ever for me where I’d take the pre lci over the lci. Admittedly though it more to do with the interior……. I’m old school, I want buttons not bigger screens

Incorrect.

I’m alright with that! -Tim
