I am trying to understand what is M Technology package is. Can skeins explain to me.

[RigaTony1982]

I believe it includes additional cooling for the brake and engine.

It’s part of the high performance tire package in the US.

M Tech Package

The M Tech package consists of upgrades to the drive train cooling system and the standard M Sport brake. An increased heat capacity of the braking system and cooling systems that allow for long-lasting high performance under extreme driving conditions, especially in combination with high outside temperatures.

Bigger Calipers
Bigger Rotors
Additional Oil Cooler
Larger Radiator Fan

It also comes equipped with the Mobility Kit including air pump meant for non-run flat tires.

Pretty decently priced package for all you get. I wonder how the ride on those non-RFTs is.

[TiMSport]

Perfect! It's hard to beat the Michelin PS4s tires.

Thank you fellas.

The website does not have a great description. Yeah seems like a good package especially if you planning to go stage1.

Separate question, how big is stock intercooler on 440 and 340. I am coming from b9 s5, and intercooler there is a joke

[AddictedTo///M]

Yeah, the website definitely doesn’t provide enough information. My info was from an internal BMW product webpage. Even there they don’t mention exactly what’s included in the package…. Package alone is worth the summer tires and brakes!


The stock Air-to-water cooler is definitely good enough for stage 1. No traditional front mount intercooler for B58. CSF has a very nice upgrade kit, but it’s expensive!

Excellent, I have this package . Runflats are horrible

UK viewers please note that the Technology package over here is completely different.

Unless it has changed in the last twelve months or so!!

Hi All. I'm in Australia and looking for a second hand/used M340i. How can I tell if it has the tech pack? I thought it was because the callipers were red but I've now seen some that are advertised with the tech pack but have the blue callipers. Is there a way of telling, just from the pictures or if I go and see the car in person?

Of course, I can ask the owner but I'd like to know beforehand so I can tell for myself and asking every used car owner if they don't specify in the advert.

Thanks in advance for any info you can share?

We, in Oz, can have either red or blue calipers, I have red on mine. The only real way from outside the car is the larger discs. You could get the VIN and check on with the decoder.

Ah ok. Hard to tell just by looking then. The VIN decoder is something I could look at, cheers. The VIN doesn't seem to be in the adverts. You think the sellers will share that with me?

[Bc2005]

It’s pretty common to ask for the VIN so a buyer can run Carfax to get a vehicle title history and accident record.

[BigAlinOZ]

Seller said "I know it has driver assist but nots sure about how to find out the rest. I can photo brakes they take up full inner wheels and brembo calipers. Or happy to FaceTime before hand / send u pics of that helps"

I've asked him to do a VIN decode and send me the result.

If it's running the PS4's, does that mean it has the cooling pack/larger brakes?

If the PS4S's are standard then they are part of the package.

Ah sweet, so that's a good way to tell then. Assuming they've not put the PS4's on themselves, then it has the cooling pack and larger brakes?

The other thing is, I've narrowed it down to two cars. One has the M seats, the other one doesn't. I really did want the M seats but the car without them is better for me. Should I wait to find the exact car with the seats I want? Is there much difference between the 2 seats?

Like the ones in the pictures but in black leather.

That’s not entirely accurate. I have the PS4S equipped from factory and I don’t have this package.

As far as I am aware it is here, it is with the new models anyway?

Only you can answer which best suits you.

I have the M Sport seats in my current car and have always had them, or the equivalent at the time other than my F10 which had the Comfort seats and I wouldn’t be without them.

This is a 2021 with OS7.

I tried the M seats in a M240i and they were ok. Didn't hug me as much as I'd like. I'm pretty slim and currently have a Focus ST with Recaros which are super snug, I love them.

I'm worried the non M seats might be even looser fitting.
