@@puttitat2851 i am not bmw owner, but i have driven some real BMW not diesel ones and in most cases i wasn't impressed, that doesn't mean there aren't BMW models that i would want to own, but not the current ones. BMW stopped having great Cars with the last e chassis Cars and now they are not great they are average in quality, ence the fact that most Tesla owners came from BMW.
I drove a 2 series with that interior and I was a bit worried it looked somewhat tacky but I ended up liking it a lot, the car was blue so I loved the contrast
Just watched this again. For fun, I went to see Mat's configuration. A 320d. List price £42k, one available near me for £53k. Compare that with the £40k M340i 2 years ago. Gulp.
Been investigating fuel cost for 340i vs 340d. With current pump prices (1.50 vs 1.70) I reckon petrol version costs £40 a year more on fuel for 10k miles a year. Real world economy reported as 30mpg petrol vs 40mpg for diesel.
I agree! Just this past monday I put in my order for an 330e iPerformance with M-sport with all the bells and whistles, here in Sweden. Thanks for a great review. Watched this clip several times before I put in my order and also after! 🤘
Forgot to mention that it is the touring version that I’ve ordered. It will be one of the first 330e tourings built and it will be built next week when the production on the model starts. Car will be in Sweden late july 🍻

Must say it's a lovely bit of kit. Adore how BMW kept it radically the same as the e91, sure the dials and I drive are different alongside bits and bobs but it's still along those lines. What a machine too...4.1 to 60. So for 34 grand you get a box standard 340i that's about a remap away from dipping into the 3s...that was supercar territory a few years ago. You look at the latest 911 and that's got a claimed 3.5. sure the absolute animal the turbo is dips in to the 2s but what more can you want from a 3 series. I reckon Mr Watson has a thing for the 330d and can't blame you mate, I've got an e91 and live every second spent in it. It's a touring car and diesel suits it better. Still can't fault the petrol i6, that's why I'm looking at a 335i as a second car now🤣
Love how BMW engines make more power than quoted and are faster than quoted but it's rarely mentioned. Supra, same engine, all the fanbois think Toyota are solely responsible.
That's definitely not a plus side it's a big negative. BMW bumps up their real hp numbers for press cars, for me that's just pure cheating and unfair competition.
@@freshklinki93 they don't bump up HP for press cars 😂 europeans use metric HP which is a bit more than the bhp they use in North America and they are allowed to be off by like 10% I believe which 370hp is 37hp so in other words these are prob over 400bhp and that's nothing to complain about it's a BMW station wagon hitting 0 to 60 times as fast as an Audi rs3 and BMW m2 competition
I had the choice between the M340i touring and the 540i touring with M Package. I took the 5 because of some more space and comfort. It is not so sporty as the 3 but for daily use the better choice.
These new touring 3 series are absolutely beautiful, for a long time Audi A4 & 6 Avant ruled, but BMW have really done something great here, I would love to buy this exact model if I had the beer tokens lol
Wish they’d bring that to the states. Sadly we seem to be obsessed with sitting up high for “safety.” Id trade my M340i sedan, tomorrow. Classic example of, “Shut up and take my money.”
As someone who owns a 330D touring (the 3.0l version) this interests me alot, although i'd plump for the diesel again just because i'm tight with my money...
I like that they are moving away from they mismatching rear lights where the body and boot parts don't line up, but I'm really not a fan of the Peugeot style kink in the front lights. Also, you may want to work on your maths, you said there were 8 engines, then listed three diesels, three petrols and one hybrid.
I'm honestly in love with this car, but unfortunately I live in the states where everyone and their mother wants crossovers.... Wagons like this don't sell very well here, but I would still personally purchase it for the right price.
4.1, I used to know times where 5 secons was insane, now this is almost the benchmark, it's not easy anymore like it was to have a fast machine and able to say only a porsche or something in that order is only faster. I remember having an e39 in 2006 (little bit tuned) and I never encountered something faster besides porsches and maybe a realy fast audi once and a while. Now everything is crazy fast, buy a golf r stage 2 on it and it rips like nothing else, It's a shame realy.
Foam filled A pillars have been around since at least the 1990's , so not sure why BMW are feeding that to Journos as a special tech feature of the new 3 series
Upgrade to this from a 435i, the improvement is actually insane. It feels so much faster and better to drive than my 435i that it feels more than a one generation update. Back when I had my 435i whenever I drive my friend's c43, I would get jealous, because his car felt so much faster, like those who drove these two cars will know what I am talking about. Before with the 440i, c43 and s5, I felt BMW was behind all those cars, because they offered a lot more performance, but with the m340i I feel like BMW inched its way on top. A lot of people like to make fun of these mid level performance cars, by saying that they are not the real deal is out of their mind. I do agree the top of the line is obviously nice if you can afford it. But for those who can't, these cars offer 80% what a top of the line model can offer.
I have the chance to purchase a 340i limousine. It is a great car. But here is one thing, that bothers me a lot. It does not have the sunroof. In general, it is smaller in comparison to the Touring, but I am not quite sure if I should take the care without it. What do you think? What is Car Wow thinking about it. I would be thankful for a comment.
@@bestrivenofspain521 it's a really good car that, but the ride is too stiff to be an ideal daily. M340i is stiff as well, but not crashy over bumps like the C43.
I love touring cars, especially European sleepers, and so the cherry on top M340i is just amazing, and I just love the fact that its a luxurious, practical sports 5 door
The Audi RS 4 is also a very good sleeper/estate car, I don't know if that's available in North America or not... But hey, even if it's not North America gets the RS 6 now which is probably the best estate car in the world or probably not because I also really like the Aston Martin Zagato Shooting Brake.

Had my M340i for two months now.. best car I've even had.. love it and the Sport Plus acceleration never fails to put a smile on my face. Always looking for fast B roads now..
I had my m340i for 4 months, I can not agree with you more. Before this car, I had a 435i and then later an s3. I must say this car is such a huge upgrade from my 435i that its hard to really put to words. When I was car shopping, I originally wanted an m4, because of the huge discounts they are offering atm, and I didn't even consider a m340i, because I use to have a 435i, so it didn't feel like an upgrade. But when I took the m340i for a spin, I was speechless. Its like 80% of the performance that m4 offers with better interior, tech and 30% cheaper than an m4. The value is just too good to pass up.
Was driving on a dual carriageway today and I overtook one of the kids in my year. He was in a 340i and I was in my a180. As soon as I got level with him he just floored it. I stayed at around 70 cuz im not racing aha but he was just gone in seconds. Mad.
@@3v3rhard you still have it? I just traded my c63s for a M340i. The suspension of the c63s is just unlivable and the tech outdated (although it had excellent headlights). I do miss the v8, I just wish the c63s had the suspension of the M340i and I would be very happy.
Ryan Lee rly...... well it’s a British brand for sure 😂 it’s a Aston Martin DBS Superleggera! If you get a chance, try check it out! The interior is gorgeous
