- THIS is the BMW 3 Series Touring! There’s no denying that the 3 Series is one of the best cars on the road at the moment, especially seeing as YOU voted it as the carwow Car of the Year 2019! But can the new 3 Series Touring live up to the saloon’s reputation? Our expectations are already high, but can the M340i prove itself to be THE best estate for under £50k? Join Mat & find out!

13:28 “Why did I put the indicator on?”
Spoken like a true BMW driver.
@Icelandic Cubicle Idk what BMW is doing stop making bigger grills just make ur indicators more efficient...Joke aside what a machine
@Icelandic Cubicle Of coarse, now I understand. 😁
hahaahahaha good one!
I doubt BMW drivers are aware of this newfound tech... lol
I wonder how much was the special pack that included the indicators.
Imagine you do a drift and you activate the reverse assist (50 Meters), and it does a drift backwards, lol.
That would be r.i.d.i.c.u.l.o.u.s

I love to get advice from non-BMW-owners on my how car is to own and drive.
@@puttitat2851 i am not bmw owner, but i have driven some real BMW not diesel ones and in most cases i wasn't impressed, that doesn't mean there aren't BMW models that i would want to own, but not the current ones.

Mat in the bedroom:
"lOoK hOW SOliD It IS"
DrKampfpudding better than it being soiled....
The stick of truth is always that solid
I love touring cars, especially European sleepers, and so the cherry on top M340i is just amazing, and I just love the fact that its a luxurious, practical sports 5 door
O 99 my friends parents own an E60 M5 touring in Le Mans blue (that or Interlagos blue) and it is beautiful. That V10 🤤
The Audi RS 4 is also a very good sleeper/estate car, I don't know if that's available in North America or not... But hey, even if it's not North America gets the RS 6 now which is probably the best estate car in the world or probably not because I also really like the Aston Martin Zagato Shooting Brake.
@O 99 That would basically be an Alpina B5 biturbo touring then. 600hp, ~320 kmh top speed and a touring!

I’m on my third 3-series touring in a row. I simply love them. Practical, sporty, fun. Lovely to drive. Always puts a smile on my face. Just a pleasure.
"This car has 8 engines"
*shows 7 engines*
If you put it un N and push it, you are the 8th engine
Maybe the 8th is the XtraBoost function of the 330e
Nah the m340d was missing
Yeah the 318i is missing
it has just 4 engines basically.
2l petrol or diesel (4 cylinder)
3l petrol or diesel (6 cylinder)

I got 340i “accidently” from car rent in Germany. My wife looked at me on the Autobahn, like this is the boy who finally got the toy he always wanted! Superb car! Btw. it also happens to fit 3 snowboard bags ;)
Love your reviews! if there is one thing i miss that will be a review of the audio system of the cars you review. Other than that, really helpful!

Love your content carwow, you inspired me to start my own youtube channel.
Thank you for motivation.
Must say it's a lovely bit of kit. Adore how BMW kept it radically the same as the e91, sure the dials and I drive are different alongside bits and bobs but it's still along those lines. What a machine too...4.1 to 60. So for 34 grand you get a box standard 340i that's about a remap away from dipping into the 3s...that was supercar territory a few years ago. You look at the latest 911 and that's got a claimed 3.5. sure the absolute animal the turbo is dips in to the 2s but what more can you want from a 3 series.
I reckon Mr Watson has a thing for the 330d and can't blame you mate, I've got an e91 and live every second spent in it. It's a touring car and diesel suits it better. Still can't fault the petrol i6, that's why I'm looking at a 335i as a second car now🤣
18:57 "simple to mount it, and that's probably how you ended up with a baby in the first place". Brilliant! :-)
Had my M340i for two months now.. best car I've even had.. love it and the Sport Plus acceleration never fails to put a smile on my face. Always looking for fast B roads now..
I had my m340i for 4 months, I can not agree with you more. Before this car, I had a 435i and then later an s3. I must say this car is such a huge upgrade from my 435i that its hard to really put to words. When I was car shopping, I originally wanted an m4, because of the huge discounts they are offering atm, and I didn't even consider a m340i, because I use to have a 435i, so it didn't feel like an upgrade. But when I took the m340i for a spin, I was speechless. Its like 80% of the performance that m4 offers with better interior, tech and 30% cheaper than an m4. The value is just too good to pass up.
Great choice, would also have picked it if the c63s did not come on my path.
Was driving on a dual carriageway today and I overtook one of the kids in my year. He was in a 340i and I was in my a180. As soon as I got level with him he just floored it. I stayed at around 70 cuz im not racing aha but he was just gone in seconds. Mad.
@@amulia1 how much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking?
I never liked Bmw Touring cars but this! This is lovely and you Mat you are the best too!
The star grille looks weird, much prefer the vertical fins grille.
Bandaged Zombie agreed, but i would still buy it
Me noup
u can get an after market grill tbf
It does look a bit odd, but it’s better than petty much every other BMW grille which are now horrendous. Rest of the car is good though.

BMW owns Rolls Royce, so it makes sense.
Snake Eyes yes definitely
I drove a 2 series with that interior and I was a bit worried it looked somewhat tacky but I ended up liking it a lot, the car was blue so I loved the contrast
Juan Manuel Martinez then definitely, the M colors👌🏻
Man.. I love your content. You DA shit ... you are my go-to choice for great car insights. Most I love is when you show in-depth details about the trunk and cargo space. Non of the auto content creators pay attention to that. Cheers from Toronto.
I agree! Just this past monday I put in my order for an 330e iPerformance with M-sport with all the bells and whistles, here in Sweden. Thanks for a great review. Watched this clip several times before I put in my order and also after! 🤘
Forgot to mention that it is the touring version that I’ve ordered. It will be one of the first 330e tourings built and it will be built next week when the production on the model starts. Car will be in Sweden late july 🍻
ahh, maybe someday when it depreciates as all BMWs il consider buying it. I totally love it.

practical?

And the interior looks like a 1980's porno mag
Adam its the electrical problems
Adam my favorite part is that even if the unreliability was true, haters refuse to acknowledge any good aspects and just focus on maintenance costs. The people who think BMWs are unreliable shit are never going to accept that this car is excellent to drive, fast, practical, and well built.
it's funny that we all seem to love this car, it's like a new (old) BMW

I have had my 330d tourer for 5 years from new and it offers great performance and economy, with good looks and space. Having owned several BMW`s this for me is the best that I have enjoyed.
Who else was sad when they didn’t see the car wow stick of truth
Sheh Deheh yup i was

re Shah. That was the general expectation.
There was a car wow finger of truth!
“I have the carwow stick of truth” gets me every time, but he didn’t say it this time 🥺
Because it's BMW buddy
Not usually a fan of red interiors but the shade of red and the way BMW used it in this car, I really love it!
The simplicity of BMW interiors is awesome.
But boring, Audi and Mercedes are the ones with the wow factor. This doesn’t mean BMW is bad, better than lots of cars on the market
@@SM-1010 Please shut up, buddy!
"Boring" certainly isn't the case with the M340i. Design always is subjective.
BMW 3 Series interior design was made by purpose, to match the quality level of cars like the 7 or 8 Series. This isn't a downside at all.
BMW today has the best build quality in quite every class! Mercedes-Benz and Audi are not as well built.
I'm German, and I'm saying this without any bias. I'm just objective about it.
@@user-jf8gd3lv7q It in fact is boring, very blocky looking with a screen on top of it. It isn't something that will turn me away from the car since we have Mercedes and BMWs in the family. There is no wow factor to it like you get with Mercedes and Audi. I would say interior quality is the same and this is where you are wrong. The BMW we have is a 3 series to be precise, and I was able to test drive a C-Class recently. They are the same interior wise, soft leather and metallic bits are virtually in the same places. Like Matt does in the videos where he shakes and pushes on the panel is what I mimicked in those cars. In addition, we have an old Mercedes SUV back when they used to call them ML it is built like a tank. I pushed on the parts and absolutely nothing creaked at all. There was carpet and nice soft leather bits down low where things would usually be plastic. They both feelgooand none of em creaked. It doesn't matter if you are German, you probably don't work at either company.
@@SM-1010 At least the BMW has normal physical buttons, all the rivals have ugly screens everywhere.
Elliott_ 100 Mercedes actually has both, screen and hard buttons

Still waiting for the m3 touring 🙈
Daniël Oost I donˋt see any need for a hard, loud and track optimized M3 or M5 Touring. Tourings are (heavier) family cars. A M Performance Model should do the job. BMW agrees with my opinion 😅
Markus Z but there is need for an SUV with V8 motors? I think Bmw is just not interested enough to make one
Not going to happen
I doubt its gonna happen , I mean something like a m340i is more than enough , an M car is supposed to be the fasest , most fun version of a car and adding a Touring adds weight
Safwan Halabi what about the suvs though.
I’ve just ordered the 330e touring. Can’t wait :)
Nice closing door sound :) Overall I like this car. Still, I will go for the 5 series or A6 for my family, I was spoiled with the space and practicability from my Skoda Superb and got used with :)

Been investigating fuel cost for 340i vs 340d. With current pump prices (1.50 vs 1.70) I reckon petrol version costs £40 a year more on fuel for 10k miles a year. Real world economy reported as 30mpg petrol vs 40mpg for diesel.
The oxide grey individual colour looks freaking amazing !
Agreed looks better in the flesh than in the configurator and photos
Configurator colours on their website look no way near to real life. True
With BMW you can also get REAL oxide!
I was wondering too how good this looks in real life, in the configurator it looks much more beige
Now, I'm pretty sure this colour looks better in person!

I think *everyone* (even the fanboys) know the Supra is 97% BMW.
That's definitely not a plus side it's a big negative. BMW bumps up their real hp numbers for press cars, for me that's just pure cheating and unfair competition.
S. Klinkhardt not press cars every turbo bmw
@@freshklinki93 they don't bump up HP for press cars 😂 europeans use metric HP which is a bit more than the bhp they use in North America and they are allowed to be off by like 10% I believe which 370hp is 37hp so in other words these are prob over 400bhp and that's nothing to complain about it's a BMW station wagon hitting 0 to 60 times as fast as an Audi rs3 and BMW m2 competition
