They are amazing, I've had two of them. One first gen B58 and one second gen B58 (2020 M340i). Might be the best modern 6 cylinder BMW has. Love the X3 M40's, that body style X3 is really nice. I didn't have them long enough but they are pretty solid motors and not over the top on maintenance. I'd like to get another M340i or possibly a X3 M40 down the road
Why did you get rid of your m340?

Had to save for a bit and sold the car almost for the same I got it for. Hopefully gonna be in another one sometime next year
How much did maintenance run you per year?


from your -perspective, how many miles can the car go for ? 100k? 200k? 300k?

It wasn't bad for me, I do basics like oil changes and brakes myself. Still had warranty on the car for at the time too. This car will go as long as you take care of it. One thing that I've noticed on these and other 6 cyl BMW Turbo engines like say the N55, the PCV valve is still a poor design and goes bad randomly. Nothing serious but you may think it will be something bad when it happens, will be a bunch of smoke from the tail pipe lol

Also, BMW says oil change 10K or so miles, seems a little high for me, I myself would change it every 5k-6k with the same grade oil but went with Liqui Moly. I did also change the front pads they were making some noise, I went with OEM for those

Does you doing the oil change, brakes impact the warranty?

cool. i got the RWD . im going to change it to an xdrive hopefully this weekend.

mpg still kinda low tho. Thought it be higher

That's what I had too. Trying to remember what my MPG was but remember it being real good considering for what kinda power the car had. I wanna say it was 25 overall, would do better if more highway involved. Wait how you gonna do that?

X-Drive M340 even faster off a dig, seen some cars go under 4 sec

how am i gotta change it an xdrive? Im gonna trade in the RWD for an xDrive over the weekend. The good part is it comes with the Harman Kardon sound system. I could have gone with the 2023 but i dont like the button in the middle. I dont care about screen.

That makes sense lol. Yeah that Harman Kardon/Executive package is a absolute must for this car, it's a nice jump over standard sound system. Which year and color? I'm not feeling the 2023 much, I prefer the overall design of the 20-22 esp the interior :hubie:

Yeah my next one, gonna go for white or grey with Shadowline trim package like that one. How many miles just curious? The X-Drives are a little bit more but not too much I know that
