You are confused. M340 comes standard with M sport brakes that are 348mm in diameter and fit 18 in h wheels
Optional coolong pack gives you larger 374 mm front rotors so the 18 inch wheels do not fit. Only 19 and up |

In other news, these brakes with stock pads held up just fine during a 2 day HPDE event, with plenty of pad left. Definitely better than the stock brakes in my old '16 340i: I had to replace both front and rear pads after 2 days on the same track. Impressive considering the added power of the M340i.

I don't see an oil cooler there, and if there was, it's not getting any airflow.

Hmmm...
The car has larger brakes - picture is made on BMW Experience event on the race track. BTW, this is the picture from German G20 forum, from member who definitely has the M Technology package: https://www.g20-forum.de/index.php?t...3550#post13550

In case we need more pix, I just crawled under my US-spec M340i w/ ZTK. Looks exactly like llyam5's pix (w/o the DIY screen, of course).
No protection, other than the 1" rubber air dam in front that you can see in the other pix. I'm not too worried. Above is with 10,000 miles on the car, including plenty of midwestern gravel roads. No signs of any impacts. |

Here's mine, M340i RWD w/ ZTK on its winter setup; BMW-recommended, dealer purchased & installed Pirelli Sottozero's on 18" 796M wheels. Rotor and caliper clearance looks about the same as with the 792M's. 19" 792M's (front) 18" 796M (front) Maybe you'd just need to watch the front size & offset? I noticed the front 796M's are 18x7.5 w/25mm offset, vs 792M 19x8 w/27mm. Rears are closer in specs; 18x8.5/40mm vs 19x8.5/40mm. Last edited by Delta5; 10-24-2019 at 07:13 PM.. |

On the BMW website , "build your own", you have the option to select the 19" Non run flat performance tire, with style 792m, for $600. I am assuming you get the "standard" M Sport brake. Do you still get the Michelin PS4's? I really dont want the extra cooling, but do want the Michelins!

side radiators?
I haven't had my M340i delivered yet, but if the M Technology trans cooler is one radiator sitting horizontally, are the two vertical radiators on either side of the front bumper standard on the 340? or only with Tech pack?
eg https://group1.imgix.net/used-vehicl...&auto=compress |

Just watch out for the bigger rocks and avoid what I went through in my F80: IMG_1982 by JMG, on Flickr IMG_1976 by JMG, on Flickr IMG_1970 by JMG, on Flickr Also damaged a laundry list of other parts like the front bumper, front headlights (attached to bumper), steering rack, MPE, rear diff etc... bill: <$30k Probably would have broke $50k if I had let the engine starve itself of oil.

SO, why did they not ventilate the front rotors? Also, what do you have to spec to get the staggered wheels, tires?
What does that oil cooler weigh? Not the best place to add ANY weight hanging over the front wheels. Can't imagine these cars on the track.... so what is the point? |

I don't know if this has already been mentioned but S33TA optioned vehicles also come with a 1000W cooling fan as opposed to 850W.
And oil pump An extra heat shield for the steering rack

Standard Brakes M Sports Brakes Performance Brakes The M3 has the Performance brakes and these front brakes that come with the extra coolant pkg look like they maybe closer to the performance brakes. |
