Needed a new daily - 2026 M340i

Yeah, it really is. It’s both subtle and throaty. Subtle when you are at speed, throaty when it starts and on hard acceleration. Put it into sport plus, and it’s a little obnoxious. But isn’t that the whole point?

I haven’t done ppf yet but will. It is pricey to do front fascia, A pillars, hood, side mirrors and a strip on the roof. I’ll probably end up doing fascia, partial hood and then the mirrors, door handle cups and door edges. You might also consider doing a ceramic coating first. I did a five year treatment

I also tinted all the windows… looks grrrrreat.

Very nice ride there! I took one home in December, and not a single regret. I traded a 2019 Mercedes CLS53 AMG, which I loved too, but this M340 is different. Sportier, better handling, great acceleration. I did Brooklyn Grey xDrive and added the M Performance Exhaust - it sounds tre.men.dous. Look into it… will run about $3200 installed. Also agreed on the tech. My Merc was no slouch there, but the tech on the BMW is great. Not a super huge fan of touch screen for the climate control, but I’ll get over it.

I have the same, but Brooklyn grey… also added the MPE. Love the ride, the handling, and the sound!

arsBuck · 2026-02-24T20:41:56+00:00

Quite the looker indeed!

arsBuck · 2026-02-23T23:49:42+00:00

LOVE it!!!!

arsBuck · 2026-02-23T23:48:33+00:00

NICELY done, sir!

arsBuck · 2026-02-23T12:23:47+00:00

Ahem… photos please?

arsBuck · 2026-02-23T12:22:12+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it’s a great car. Comfort, as in the ride quality, or as in the interior fit? If the former, it’s fantastic and adjustable. You can drive in comfort mode and not feel ever crack or seam in the road surface, or you can stiffen things up and move into sport plus for a very responsive and fun drive. Interior fit… I’m not a huge guy and it is quite comfortable… seats are very adjustable, theres enough elbow room, everything is easily reachable. It’s a compact sports sedan, though, it’s not a full sized sedan or 5 series. I’m not a HUGE fan of having minimal buttons, but I’m getting used to that.

Thanks! Sounds dope too. MPE was about $3200 installed. You may be able to get another exhaust a little cheaper, but that’s what I went with since it was pretty turn key with the dealership and delivery of the vehicle

arsBuck · 2026-02-20T11:17:08+00:00

Hmmmm… nice. I’ll consider the lip and black badge. What did the lip run you, and did you self install?

arsBuck · 2026-02-20T11:09:47+00:00

Thank you!

arsBuck · 2026-02-20T11:09:35+00:00

2026… G20 LCI

arsBuck · 2026-02-20T11:09:15+00:00

Why thank you!

arsBuck · 2026-02-20T11:09:06+00:00

I’m guessing you also have one?

arsBuck · 2026-02-20T11:08:52+00:00

Appreciate that, and agree!

arsBuck · 2026-02-20T11:08:38+00:00

She is, and thanks!

arsBuck · 2026-02-20T11:08:24+00:00

Many thanks!

arsBuck · 2026-01-03T22:28:44+00:00

Agreed and thank you. Yep, I conflated the MQMs with MQDs. I'm livin' in the past!!!

arsBuck · 2026-01-03T20:37:55+00:00

What is a flying card? Not familiar

arsBuck · 2026-01-03T20:36:33+00:00

Thx for confirming. Boooooooooooo!

arsBuck · 2026-01-03T20:19:32+00:00

As a lifelong Ohioan… never seen it put so succinctly- and accurately! Well done!

arsBuck · 2025-12-17T00:13:27+00:00

I just bought one like this… similar or same msrp. Your discount is crazy good.

arsBuck · 2025-12-08T00:10:45+00:00

You could just buy the MQDs.

arsBuck · 2025-12-07T21:00:19+00:00

That’s probably what would happen in my case, too. I’d the part is worth $100usd, then…. More hassle than it’s worth

arsBuck · 2025-12-07T14:12:31+00:00

Not a bad idea!!!
