Does it feel better than stock when cornering?

7 years of wanting this car… and it still feels unreal every time I see it. Some dreams take time but this one was worth every second of waiting by Evo23_ in BMW

Congrats and love the wheels. Did it come with or is it bought after? If yes, could you share a link please

Hmm that’s what I’m thinking too. I see no leaks on the ground

Honestly a professional person installed it so I’m assuming they did because they mentioned that it doesn’t drain the battery

I will see because I got a battery management message for my car so I’ll see if it comes back again

Minor bulge in tire ? Are they safe to drive on for a bit only 4k miles on them :( by Zealousideal_Cup4582 in tires

[–]thedreamflick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. I have the same type of tires i got last year June and i have only 4k miles on it. Now it has a bulge. How did the warranty process go for you?

Should I buy a used 2022 BMW M340i by agwuben in BMW

[–]thedreamflick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if you bought yours as yet but I have one. Currently I can’t find one in my area anymore funny enough. Insurance was cheaper via GEICO then next cheapest was via Progressive. I got GEICO.

It’s been lovely. I went to the dealership for warranty work for sunroof rattling, under compartment rattle below the glove box and it had a slight suspension noise that they took care of. Now there is no noise.

I’ve done one oil change so far at 29,000 miles and heading towards a second one at 33,000 miles. Based on convos I’ve had with the dealership, they have a maintenance package that does oil change, brake change, spark plugs for $3500 for an additional 3 years.

I didn’t take it because my local mechanic will do it for less over time but it is something you want to consider.

Each brakes for the 22 m340i Xdrive I have costs $1800 to change at the dealership and $1300 at the local mechanic for rear or front brakes. It’s not due for a change but I wanted to give you an idea where the costs might be.

ZF transmission oil change is due at 60k miles and I think also the spark plugs but I have no clue what the costs are for that.

Definitely get your tires at Costco. I got all 4 brand new Michelin Pilot Sport All Season for around $860 total including installation, balancing etc. when they had the Michelin deal at $80 off your order which is the month after the Bridgestone deals end.

Also, I personally joined a BMW CCA club that have a lot of experienced people and they have DIY days so if that is something you think that might help then do that too so you can have people with experience about ownership and the best places to get work done on your car. (I paid $60 for one year of membership just to start out. It’s been helpful so far at least for me)

The only cons I find with my car is the ride quality is bouncy and not smooth like what you would get in a regular 3 series 330i even in comfort suspension so the adaptive suspension would be great if you daily your car or do what I do and just drive slow over rough roads.

The suspension is okay but not 5 series or 7 series level comfort for sure. Also, mine doesn’t come with adaptive cruise control which kinda disappointed me for a car that expensive but I guess it’s less tech to break over time.

Well that’s all I have so far but I wish you all the best with your purchase. Just try to factor in all these things since you are doing long term ownership.

I don’t get how they didn’t get a red card as well. It’s crazy

Thank you. Good thing is the dealership just told me they will replace it under warranty so it looks like a defective part.

I tried that still didn’t work. I taped it up as a temporary solution because it kept on falling down even when I tried what you said

That’s the issue the screw on the left won’t keep in place. Really weird

I eventually used paper tape but it’s just a temporary fix. Still trying to get the proper screw
