Is the NEW BMW M340i ALMOST as GOOD as the 2020 M3?

- The ALL NEW BMW M340i is here and it has some great changes. Under the hood is a 3.0L turbocharged 382 HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic. Even though the redesign was last year, seeing the M340i optioned the way that it is makes it look so different. On the inside there are plenty of changes that raises the level of fit & finish, and overall layout. Is the 2020 BMW M340i so close to the performance of a 2020 M3?

- The "ECO" mode isn't really there for you so save on fuel. It's so the M340i owner (It's mostly going to be a bloke. I'm not being sexist by the way!), can put the M340i into ECO mode if the missus is going to drive it :-))...
Well... If you owned this gorgeous car, would you want to find out your missus has been driving it in SPORT+ mode and stuffed it? :-))....
This is such a great package. Thanks for featuring this one!
Huge shout out to Joe Raiti and Raiti’s Rides for awesome, thorough reviews. We ordered a 2021 M340i in Portimao Blue with loads of M performance upgrades today. Thanks Joe!
Hey man, loving all the content you’ve been pushing out recently. Keep up the hard work, brother!
Carrera11STi thanks for saying that and your awesome support!
Best opening I've seen from you yet, regarding their history and trying it into their driver experiences focus issue (not meant to be snarky, truly enjoyed the olening!!) Great video! I'll always be a BMW fan!
That is so really awesome of you to say! Thank you for your support and sharing your thoughts!
Sweet ride! Thanks for the review as always bro! Freakin fast touch screen!! Blessings and continued success!
Thanks Jackson for saying that and letting me share it with you!
Nice job Joe. I like that you’re not afraid to mention things you don’t necessarily like about the vehicles. Nice set of wheels that there M340i !
U nailed this video,love the commentary and im a huge bmw fanboy,i could listen to that ecceleration all day long.BMW just knows how to do inline sixes.
You are the best. Your videos are very detailed but it is awesome to watch!!! Fantastic job!!!
Thank you so much for saying that! I really appreciate your support!
i test drove one of these last week and i loved it. the paddles are kinda small and i wish they were a little stiffer, i was worried that if i had my fingers on them they'd trigger by accident. otherwise i was shocked as to how much fun and how quick the car was. i tried a 440i right afterwards which was the car i came initially to see and the M340i was far and above the more fun car to drive and they come in around the same price point so i'm pretty much off the 440 and only looking at this one.
Finally brought the bmw I’ve been asking of on raitis channel 😄..... My type of sedans I’ll drive any day 👍🏾
Sergeant Coby I got you covered!
Just drove one of these yesterday back to back with a slightly used M3. I'd take this over an M3 in a hot minute.
It's that damn good. And I didn't think I would like it. But it's more refined and 95% as fast as the M3.
Nailed it.
This literally just a new gen 340i because they still use the same B58 motor. Don't get me wrong, the B58 is a great motor, but not $67k great.
@jordy rozon right?! What's the difference between this and a 440i gran coupe Xdrive? The letter M. Thats pretty much it.
@@thynysan I’ll be honest I thought the same thing until I drove one myself
Don't trust B58 it has oil consumption issues
This looks really nice , all black is menacing 💪🏾
Qweze Smith it’s hot for sure!
Definitely all black bmw are the way to go, not so much for Mercedes tho
An all black Amg gtr is more menacing
Black is the best and worst color - definitely hard to keep clean - but nothing looks as good as a stunning or rich deep black on a sports car
Joe, always enjoyed your reviews. Your unbiased opinion on the cars you’re testing is highly appreciated and it does give potential buyers an in-depth understanding of the vehicle you’re reviewing. One point I’d like to make on BMW handling - you’re right, it’s less communicative then before; but I don’t know if you’ll agree with me on this: it’s NEVER gonna be the same again because electronically assisted steering is prevalent amongst ALL the automakers. In all fairness, You can make the exact same point on Porsche cars too.
Your review helped me make my selection! Enjoying every single minute I drive m340i 👍👍👍
Been waiting for this review from you.
Phillip Lee I hope it was worth the wait!
@@RaitisRides Thank you for letting me know not to get the silver interior when I get mine.
@@alovesupremecoltrain you are so very welcome!
Thanks, Joe. Nice review.
You complained the traction is over eager and doesn’t allow enough play, I agree. While in sport press the traction control button down once. It will turn on Dynamic traction which lets you have a ton of fun up to and including doing doughnuts. However all the stability control functions remain on.
My dream BMW sedan!! Amazing job Joe.
Thanks for all your hard work Joe and Lori! Yall helped me realize that any newer BMW would be a great purchase. So I found an angel eyed red on red F30 335i for a great price and overall value. ZF8 speed, twin scroll turbo 3.0L I6. Technology package including big infotainment screen and heads up display. Most think it's brand new in my area lol. Very beautiful car. I will keep it forever. There will be a new convertible BMW or Merc coming soon to the collection.
Lovin the ZONKIN.... Top notch review as usual Joe
I like how your logo covers the speedometer.
Thanks!
The BMW inline 6 specifically (as opposed to a V-6 or a horizontally opposed six cylinder) is just magical in opinion. I hope BMW can recapture their essence.
Ceramic tint the windshield to solve the dash glare issues. 75 or 85 % tint would help reduce the sun to the dash and behind the front windows when the rest of the car is already tinted. For sun ☀️ belt states it will help keep the car a bit cooler as well. At that percentage its also not noticeable or hindering at night.
Very good point!
Thanks bro this video was awesome
I am not a BMW fan and I am not an automatic transmission fan...and yet I really like this car. Looks good. Sounds good. Awesome steering wheel. Appears to be a very satisfying car to drive. The wheels are some of the coolest OEMs I've ever seen (even though they will be murder to clean even with a Speedmaster.) It's like they took the 18+ WRX STI wheels and took them a step further.
Zac Paul I totally get where you are coming from!
Sweet Joe, my favorite Brand. Keep the great work going. That Beamer look sick. 😍
I am so glad that you are loving these! Thanks for your support!
@@RaitisRides Legit Beamer, it's a none stop Support Joe. 😊
I remember when your channel had less than 10K subs
Look at you in short time making great establishments
Keep it up
I love this guy so thank you
I am getting this in 3 weeks!! Thanks for making my choice easier
Joe you're the best.
I wish these auto makers put more effort into their products.
That sounds really nice!
The Real Brendon its very poppy!
Just bought one last Tuesday and I’m in love with it.
Just purchased a 2021 M340i and the car is a beast and absolute fun. It’s actually more fun that my old 2015 650i and I never thought I’d say that.
Congrats Dewayne! Thanks for sharing that input from your experience!
Joe is the type of teacher you visit years later just to say "what's up sir? Thanks for caring."
That is so really wonderful of you to say Milton.
16:49 We tested drive 330i today (in California), and we were also blinded by the same reflection from the silver above the AC outlet. It is not possible to see the center screen when that happen. And, kind of dangerous.
Definitely won’t be hugging trees with this one !! great review !
Thanks and still lovin the 3 series
I actually fell in love with this car after watching this video. Great content, I am looking to potentially lease this car next year. I’m also wondering if I should go with gray, white, or black? I am definitely going with the black rims.
I am so glad that you like this one. I would go grey!
Metallic grey with black accents. You’ll be satisfied.
They did a good job with this one. Looks wise its better from the front then the new M3 and not bad performance. This vs the new Acura Type S would be pretty interesting match up.
Love your content and energy! Great sales energy would mind buying off your lot at all
Good review as usual. My son just ordered a 2020 BMW 440IX drive. It will be a sweet ride when it comes in.
Thanks for saying that Thomas! Congrats to your son!
Great review
Thanks Gustavo!
Fast Forward a year later and I have this car LOL. Custom build .I got it for 59k after discounts nearly loaded. Lucky for me I got mine back in November right before prices went crazy.
Congrats man! You did it right for sure!
awesome review Mr Zonkist
Thanks for letting me share it with you! I think I like that! LOL
Lol I love how he put the Raiti's Rides logo over the speedometer 😂😂
I know it’s a minor thing, but that center cap trick is the heat🔥
10:15 The dash display has the M340i logo in case you forget what kind of car you're driving! Too F'ing funny!!!!! You're killing me, Joe.
Great videos! Appreciate all that you do for us. Can I ask you, if you had to compare the C43 AMG sedan or this car. Which would you prefer and why?
I’m really stumped on which one to lease at the end of this year.
Hey buddy! In the same position right now, which one did you go forward with?
@@MultiKeky I’m leaning towards this and a cla 45 amg more my style
Nice vids Joe 👍
Thanks for saying that and letting me share it with you!
I owned 340i in 2016 the two things I always felt were really lacking specially on a 56 gran car surprisingly you have mentioned them again in 2019 for a 2020 340 , body roll and num steering .

I don’t know why but I Love how this car looks.
W'all do bro such masterpiece ❤
I drove the 2021 340iM at a small track near me last week for bmw drive experience and saw the new m3 being released mid September thing drives nice but the 2 series m package drove corners a lot better bc that awd
This video convinced me to get a M340i, I’m on my 2nd day of owning it and it’s amazing!
How’s it brother I just bought one
Still own it?
This car is awesome! Daily driver and beast at the track.
Oh yeah for sure!
Beautiful car. Actually like the all black look and recently took a look at the new lineup at the Dallas BMW dealership. Some awesome cars. Anyhow I’m getting a car tomorrow that Joe reviewed. Really looking forward to it so had to tell someone.
hey Chris! I’m glad you liked this one. What kind of car are you getting!
Raiti's Rides You gotta know Joe. The Q60 Red Sport. It’s for the wife but maybe she’ll let me drive it sometimes.
@@dfw1fast143 That is a sexy car!
Raiti's Rides Thanks Joe. She loves them. Actually when we met her daughter needed a car so I said give her yours as I’ll give you my Q60S. If that ain’t love I don’t know what is. Loved that car.
Raiti's Rides Ended up getting the gold edition Red Sport 400 Hundred. Love it. Now going to get it blacked out on the chrome parts with glossy black wheels.
If combined with the adaptive drive, the car is the perfect shapeshifter. Changing from a “normal”daily car, to a car who is managing itself very well on the track. It is not M3, but with a significant price difference that would be an insult to M3 owners.
Not a full M car but deserves the respect from all car enthousiasts.
I really appreciate you sharing those thoughts! Thank you for watching!
That grille doesn’t looks stock where did the best one go with the brushed metal?
I like the cockpit,...the i-drive, setup, etc!
1) Heated steering in Florida! LOL!
2) Hmm, is this the 2020 E39??????
3) A little "body roll" is a good thing,...as it allows one to know the suspension loads up!
Amazingly,...you're on roads that I'm familiar with! ;-)
Good review,...very detailed!
Thanks for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
I have the x3 m40i which is a kick ass for an sav but considering the bmw m3 or m4 as a weekend car and a cheap compact suv maybe RAV4 for daily driver - you should do a segment on 2nd fun or weekend cars!
Nice part of lineup as BMW sport sedan. BMW had to leave more on the table for the M3 to fill. Is the steering hydraulic or electric assist? Great review as usual Joe!
Thanks for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Its crazy that this thing is as quick as the E92 M3. This is such a good car.
I dig the murdered out look 😎👍
Very happy about them bringing back the in-line six cylinder BMW
Chauncey Chauncey ...when did they go away? 🤔
Is the 440 coupe with the m package the same as the old m4?
Got my first car from Ferman Mini so it was fun seeing those roads again... I've been looking at this car, but i''m a tad bummed it doesn't have cooled seats standard.. I mean come on BMW, my wife's Telluride has that
Very simple interior. i love it
Usually I don't like the all black look, but this looks nice.
I didn't see a dipstick under the hood, Supra with the same engine has one right?
Just watched Papadakis Racing video of tearing the engine down and it also doesn't have a dipstick. Have to drive for a while to know the oil level from the screen inside.
I’ve owned both, the new m3 is fantastic.. but honestly, I really enjoyed the m340i. I had it tuned with bolt on’s, was a blast..
You’ll be happy with either, I do think the m340i really wakes up with an MHD tune though
I strongly believe the BMW is a gifted company and it is still making the Ultimate Driving Machine. What a car Raiti's you are reviewing? No No No It isn't a car! It is a black driving machine. Thank you Raiti's for showing us this nice video I enjoyed it.
Beautiful. I live in Palm Harbor and know these streets. If you want twisty roads you need to go to Odessa and Patteson rd or Boy Scout
Now Im driving the M4, before I drove the m240 and there is a world of differences between both cars. Would be the same with the m340 x drive, specially talking abount the precision of the steering wheel ant the diferential?
Thanks for your oppinion
Freddy
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I love the 3 series, and Im glad BMW is going back to that driver engagement side of their cars~ I just wish the M3's front grill was like this G20 3 series, since it looks soooooo good. Why couldn't BMW just take this grill and use it, because this is so much cleaner~
Glad I am not the only one that noticed the hard surfaces for the armrest and center console. For me, I’m not a fan of the seats. The leather felt hard, and the driver’s seat wasn’t the most comfortable for me (felt firm). I’ll also disagree a bit on interior quality. Scratchy material on the visors, and the buttons in the middle console felt cheap (when pushed, the entire panel moves).
I so wanted a 330i, but I ended up passing on it for a lot of these reasons (drive was also a bit tougher than I like).
Here's a question for Raiti's Rides.
Many years ago, I had the glorious pleasure of owning a 330d M Sport Coupe. I loved that car... However, I used to be able to plug in my iPod Classic using a cable. I'd get the full listing of my iPod and it would also charge it up too. So. Can you still do that now or does everything have to be by WiFi as the old iPod Classics do not have WiFi?
PS Great video. You went into a lot of detail too. I really do love this car. I has everything I could possible want from a car. Speed, safety (4WD.), comfort, looks et al. :-))...
Sadly, I'm in the UK and not the USA but now, I couldn't even afford one due to disability. Ho! Hum... :-((...
Just ordered one, can’t wait to get it
When are you getting it? I'm planning to get one in a few months God willing.
@@Karl51729 this is what they said Hi Andres. Your M340i has been produced, but has not shipped yet. This means that when your car has completed production it goes through numerous quality checks then it goes to the port in Germany. Then it goes into a holding pattern until there are enough cars to ship. Until the ship is full then it will set sail in this case to the Port of Galveston. We will only get notified when it gets shipped, and not until then. So, it will stay in the ‘Produced Not Shipped’ position.
When it is shipped you are looking at app. 3 weeks before it gets to Galveston. Will keep you updated. Thanks.
@@djcoolitoff that is a long process. Thank you for the info.
@@Karl51729 no problem, it will be worth the wait, the dealerships don’t have any cars on the lot or showroom lol
@@djcoolitoff you got so much bread bro
RR you got this one past me!! For the MSRP of the M340i your reviewing I’d probably cut back on the hotdogs for a few weeks and get the M3. However I’m still championing the M240i and you were right there at BMW and skipped past the M240i?!? I’m gonna go with they didn’t have one in stock for $500 Alex 🤣🤣🤣
love the sport buton on, feel so good🤗
Yes indeed!
What about heated/ventilated seats? Heated steering wheel?? Apple Car play? For $67K those would be deal breakers!
Thanks Joe! (looking to possibly get a sedan to add to our family... so, checking out all your new stuff!)
What’s your opinion of this and the 2021 Audi S4?
This car or the 2021 Acura TLX A-Spec?!? Which would you choose???
Yeah I agree with these in line 6 and BMW is known for that 6 cylinder. Nice 382 Hp but I wish BMW would of gave 405 HP and 406 torque just like the M2. Also maybe would be nice to put XDrive all wheel drive on M340xi better not M340i. Definetly needs handling as well and those exhaust better quad exhaust.
Did u try the sport plus mode?..
I just got this car and it’s so fun to drive
Love this ride Raiti 😀 Forgive me for that. 67k for this particular car is not too bad. Of course I have checked to see how it depreciates in value. Another impressive video Dude-eronomy. 👍
Package on this is sick! I'm tired of my f30 335i....upgrade!
As a 2011 335 xdrive msport owner this will be my next CPO bmw!! 2-3 years old 35k-38k I’m sure- I wonder if the m package is just visual cues like the prior models or if it has any performance upgrades over the non m340? Oh nm their is no plain 340 hard the 330
How are you Joe like the spec on that BMW M340i black on black love it have a car for you. 2020 Mercedes amg gt r pro very nice great video
Does it have ventilated seats ? I only see heated seats every review i watch !?
How did this model come with those rims and spoiler??? Mine dont have that
My buddy just got one. And i beg to differ about it not being a true M car. Yes its not a 100 percent and my car. But its very close to the m3, like 90 percent of an m3. I would absolutely take this car over an m3 some may say im crazy but o well. my buddies was an xdrive. So maybe thats why i think the handling is so friggen close to being as good as an m3. This thing legit handles like its on rails. The car itself in awd form gives you an extreme amount of confidence in high speed corners. Lets just put it this way. The average person would puss out before even hitting half of the cornering speed that this car is truly capable of. I will be buying one as well its truly best bang for your buck performance car in my opinion. But im a car nut. And i have a thing for bmw’s in general...
Got me an M2 comp over this car ...can't wait to see the new M3...
