Traded up!

Had a 2020 G20 330i with 34,000kms and I just traded her in for a 2020 G20 M340i with 29,000kms and the premium excellence package in Dravit Grey. All I can say is I am completely blown away with the power that the car produces….like mind blown. The power of the 330i doesn't even come close. I can't even imagine this B58 with a tune as it must be a MONSTER!

The Dravit Grey looks amazing, but even better in person, it's what I tried to get originally and still regret some days.

I have a JB Plus that was in my 330i. Wondering if I should slap it on my 340.

Would love to hear your comparison between the 330i and the M340i. A lot of the youtube review guys complained that the M340i was not significantly different enough to warrant the $10k premium over the 330i. I kind of disagree, but I've never driven a 330i long term.

The difference is mind blowing in my opinion. I had my 330i tuned with Bootmod3 stage 1 and it still wasn't close to a stock M340.

Try and hold off using the JB+ for now if u love it already, wait til it gets boring then slap it on for a next level of fun.

Also, there's more than just the engine for the price difference between the 330 and m340. The m package, lsd and a bunch of other things come standard with the m340, some of which I don't think is even available to be added to the 330, so that too accounts for the price difference.

Beautiful car man congrats. I had a 330 loaner while in for an oil change and couldn't wait to get back in the 340. It felt like a totally different car. The power difference is crazy.

These comments scare me lol. I'll be driving an M440 tomorrow and I have a feeling that I'll be swayed by the power difference. Gonna rack up miles on my 330 and likely look to trade for a 340 when I see a good deal. Itching to get on that fully powered B58.

I didn't even test drive any M340 before buying this one. After reading so many positive reviews and basically every famous YouTube car reviewer loving this car I decided it was a good time to trade up. You'll be amazed at the difference in power and feel. Not that the 330 is bad, but this is another level.

People have been complaining that the updates have silenced the exhaust. When I got there to pick it up, the BMW dealer said it's almost done updating to the newest update and it will be ready to take home. Idk, but to me this sounds pretty damn good! Lots of pops and bangs and up shift farts🤘

Just installed the BMS Intake on my M340i and now looking for a few cosmetic mods (Trunk lip, Front lip) As you can see my car is dravit grey and has gloss black mirrors. I am can't seem to make up my mind on getting gloss lips to match or go carbon. What's your guys' opinion as i am torn!!!

Personally I prefer things to match, so I've stuck with all gloss black. Also, I wouldn't go carbon unless it was real, I think the fake carbon print is the best way to make a nice car look cheap and tacky.

Also, I'd suggest getting the painted front reflectors, it makes such a difference for a little thing.

I had my reflectors wrapped for 40 bucks on my 330. Didnt' black them out completely but made them look much less obvious so i will be doing it this week on my M340. And thanks for the gloss suggestion. I was thinking the same as i want everything to match.

IND sells ones that are paint matched, which looks really clean on the car but tinting or blacking them out looks good too.
They actually sent me black instead of the white to match, didnt notice til after I got it back from the shop but liked it and decided to keep it lol.
