r/M340i

Today I picked up a Vegas red Metallic M340i. Coming from a stage 2 2019 Audi s5. This car is everything everyone makes it out to be. The versatility from eco pro getting 36mpg to ignition cut shifts from factory in sport plus is insane. Every option I wanted on her except HUD but it’s okay. Dealer is also agreeing to fix the curb rash for free I was just too eager to take it home. What’s the first mods everyone did? I was thinking diffuser, front lip, and side skirts. Anyone have pics and links for theirs? This color almost gives me individual vibes the way it looks in real life. The road presence is insane!

This is fully loaded, Xdrive, premium package , Carbon Fiber, with Tanzanite Blue. Comes with Harmon K system, heads up display the whole 9-yards. I don’t think I could get a better deal for this ? Lmk yall. I’m based in Southern California, for taxes considerations.

I recently took my 2020 M340i to the dealer for the starter recall. During the inspection, they noted that my driver side motor mount was sagging pretty badly and my passenger side motor mount was starting to sag. They recommended replacing both and quoted me $2,950. They did record a video to show me.

I called a few local euro shops and the quotes varied. One shop quoted $3,600. Another quoted $1,550 using Bilstein motor mounts.

Has anyone replaced their motor mounts and had luck with after market?

Its literally driving my insane, can someone please give me some insight as to what this is or how to fix it. It only really happens during acceleration or when listening to music/phone call

Needed a new DD (coming from a 3g TL). Have a 997 6 speed as the weekend car and got to keep both so I’m blessed!

Test drove the Genesis G80, Elantra N and then the M340i and didn’t look back. Couple deals fell through including a nicely spec‘d CPO in Alabama. However, it was black and they wouldn’t budge on the price and then this thing popped up locally.

The demand is so high on these things but was able to lower price 6%, which paid for the BMW VSC Platinum warranty. Also, booking it as a company car so can take advantage of bonus depreciation.

Glad to be here!

side note: Still under factory warranty and noticed a lot NVH (wind) particularly from passenger front window. Is it worth taking to the BMW dealership to check out? Car was not from a BMW dealership and would like them to take a look at it before warranty expires.

2025 M340i stitching is tearing after only 25K miles.
I don’t touch or grab this area to get in or out of the driver’s seat. It was not caused by an errant swipe of something sharp or metal either. Seat belt doesn’t even come close to this spot when taken off or putting on. Seems to just be defective manufacturing. Is this covered under warranty? If not, should I look elsewhere beside the dealer to get it repaired. Thoughts?

Hi all, ive been experiencing some oil consumption and hoped switching to 5w-30 would fix it but its still consuming a bit. I had it up on a ramp with a friend and we couldnt see any leaks. Checked cylinder 1-3 as we ran out of time but cylinder 1 is clear. 2 & 3 has oil on top of the piston. Have i bought a bad M340i? And what do I do now? 1-3 plugs all look the same.

Could it be the pcv? Theres no suction from the oil cap but I dont know if thats how it means to be on these?

I cant just sell it as I cant pass off a bad egg to someone else. What could be the causes and where do I go from here? I’ve only had it 3 months and absolutely love it.

TIA

It’s my wife’s car other wise I’d go crazy if I had to drive this every day. How do you guys deal with this reflection?! Smack in the middle of the mirror. Plus I’m use to coupes like my Mustang with a bigger driver door window but with the 340 I can’t drive with the windows down on the freeway because I’m just BLASTED with air. Could be because I’m taller and I have to sit farther back compared to my Mustang the window continues behind my head

Hello, I’m getting a 26 M340i. I personally don’t like the wheel options they provide from factory and interested in alloys.

I know it’s personal preference (and the picture has been created via Ai - I’m sorry) but with the car being Portimao blue and red brake callipers, what would you choose, black or silver alloys?
