bmw logo

The seventh generation of the BMW 3 Series range consists of the BMW G20 (sedan version) and BMW G21 (wagon version, marketed as 'Touring') compact executive cars. The G20/G21 has been in production since mid-October 2018 with a facelift in July 2022 and is often collectively referred to as the G20.

The M340i, one of the first models in the range, became available for sale in the spring of 2019, with the 330e plug-in hybrid model scheduled for launch in 2020. The 3 Series Gran Turismo fastback body style was discontinued for the G20 generation.

For the G20 generation, BMW has begun production in Mexico for various world markets including the US, replacing the Rosslyn plant in South Africa where the previous F30 generation vehicles were assembled.

Common 2020 Bmw M340i problems

The BMW M340i 2020 has been reported to have several common problems by its owners. One of the most frequently mentioned issues is the squeaking or creaking sunroof. This problem seems to be a recurring issue with the BMW M340i, and it can be quite annoying for drivers.

Another problem reported by owners is the malfunctioning of Apple CarPlay maps and WhatsApp. Specifically, the maps show only small grid lines with no map detail, and WhatsApp does not display messages. This issue can be a significant inconvenience for drivers who rely on their car's infotainment system for navigation and communication.

A third problem reported by owners is the annoying notification after every startup, saying an app is available for an iPod Touch, which is not available in the App Store. This issue can be frustrating for drivers who just want to start their car and drive without being bothered by unnecessary notifications.

A fourth problem reported by owners is the misaligned steering wheel, which can affect the car's tracking and steering. This issue can be a safety concern for drivers, as it can make it difficult to control the car.

A fifth problem reported by owners is the hollow and boomy sounding Harman Kardon Surround Sound, which is different from the H-K system in previous BMW models. This issue can affect the overall driving experience, as the sound system is an essential part of the car's entertainment system.

A sixth problem reported by owners is the recalibrated sport program for the transmission, which seems to hang onto gears and produce silly mock heel and toe manual gearbox downchange sounds. This issue can affect the car's performance and make it less enjoyable to drive.

A seventh problem reported by owners is the different colors of Cerium Grey on the mirror housings and wheels, which seems very strange. This issue may not affect the car's performance, but it can affect the car's appearance and aesthetic appeal.

Overall, the BMW M340i 2020 has several common problems reported by owners, including the squeaking or creaking sunroof, malfunctioning Apple CarPlay maps and WhatsApp, annoying notifications, misaligned steering wheel, hollow and boomy sounding Harman Kardon Surround Sound, recalibrated sport program for the transmission, and different colors of Cerium Grey on the mirror housings and wheels. These issues can affect the overall driving experience and enjoyment of the car, and they can be a safety concern for drivers.

The only warnings we had were the oil not measuring through the interior display, the only way to check it no dip stick, not completing or stopping at 21% with failed measurement. It has first appeared for me at 20k miles, for others as early as 5k miles. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance other than the dealer and local independent shop.
