We’ve all heard it before—“I’d buy this car.” But how often do auto journalists actually follow through? This time, I did. After reviewing the 2024 BMW M340i xDrive in Melbourne Red Metallic for BMWBLOG, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Fast forward to 2025, and I put my money where my mouth is.

In this video, I share my real-world experience owning the 2025 BMW M340i—the one-car solution for enthusiasts who want performance, comfort, and daily usability. From canyon carving in California to a 7,000-mile winter road trip across the U.S., I take you behind the wheel and explain why this modern sports sedan might be one of the last great all-rounders.

We’ll cover:
- Why I chose the M340i over an EV or full M car
- The 2025 updates to the G20-generation 3 Series
- Fuel economy surprises on a coast-to-coast road trip
- How it performs in the canyons versus track-prepped rivals
- And whether I’d buy it again

What do you usually hear in the news about Iran?
Iran is one of the most negatively portrayed countries in the media. But don't forget that the media only shows you things that benefit them, and that the regime and politics depict only one side of the full picture, and behind of that there are always regular people... Let's travel across the country and hear the real stories from locals to understand what it's really like to live in Iran.
