I looked at all three of these (US Versions) and got the M340i LCI. TO me, the fastest and best looking. The Mercedes looks great too, but the B58 performance overshadowed the Mercedes looks. Mine is fully spec'd and it's just an amazing driving car. The torque is 50ftlbs underrated by BWW too. Actually pulls about 420ftlbs. The acceleration is incredible and you can do 100mph without even knowing it. It has no problem just going. And I came from a Mustang GT A10

I will have to say the BMW seats with SensaTec are by far the most comfortable. I took a trip for 13 hours in my BMW, and my back wasn't even tired. Volvo seats exhaust me faster. I also owned an Audi S5, and while the sporty seats were very cool and supportive, they did make my back more tired in long-distance driving. They would sort of "ram" into under my armpits and over time it became more noticeable. I guess it also depends on your body shape and other factors. I think all cars in this class are very comfortable.

C43 is amazing. I don’t think the BMW is a better buy. The one you want to spend time in is the smart buy. You made a great choice. (Though admittedly I prefer the V6TT in the old one for its howling exhaust and stupidly loud pops/bangs and shift farts) but I’d happily own your car in a second.

I own the BMW M340i Touring, pre-facelift version, so my choice is already made. I have to say that I prefer the interior of this version to the LCI because of the real air-conditioning controls, the real gearshift and also because I'm not a fan of this huge digital screen. Externally, the new one is nice. Otherwise, I am basically an Audi driver. Before the BMW, I only owned Audis, including two S4 Avant, a B5 and a B8. Only, when it came time to switch cars in 2020, the TDI engine in the new S4 became eliminatory in my choice. I also tried the C43 AMG V6 which I really liked (nice sound), but after trying the M340, the magic of the B58 engine and the dynamic behavior of the car convinced me. I haven't tried the new C43 yet. Too bad about the 4 cylinder, but from the comments, the handling seems great.
Thomas always has the 1st hand report for us who live outside of Germany. Well done, so much details in your videos!

@ 15:40 - Not necessarily. In my 540i I use Sport Individual with engine in Sport and transmission in Comfort mode. Engine in Sport gives you better (faster) throttle response and transmission in Comfort keeps it one gear step higher than Sport, thus avoiding unnecessary high engine RPM and higher fuel consumption when they are not needed. When required, (overtaking or fast driving through a set of curves), I just slap the gear shift lever to Sport and I get the Sport transmission. I'm gonna miss that gear handle so much...
I took the C43. It was very expensive compared to the older one. But, I’m so happy with it.

Thomas, this was a fantastic review. My choice lies between BMW and Audi, with more bias to BMW.
To be honest, the BMW looks the most interesting to me. Unfortunately the Audi only has a diesel for the S-variant and the C-class is way to expensive for what you get. The whole luxury doesn't fit the C43 that much and performance wise it's barely an upgrade to the previous one. Also the M340i has a lot of potential to tune etc. It's also the only bmw that I like for the looks, except for the 8-series and some X-models. But to me it looks so much better than the new 2-series, M3, 4-series, 7-series and fromwhat I've seen the new 5-series won't look that good as the current one either.

You must note that the s4 TDI depreciated heavily, even more than some 45 tfsi models.😅 You can find one used and use the money gap to buy a proper week end car (like an mx5 or gt86)
Looking for the sportiest drive, but I was comparing the S5 Vs C43 AMG. Going to Mercedes dealer tomorrow, I like the tech. We shall see. I have had 4 BMWs so looking for something different now.
BMW for sportiness Audi interior And Mercedes overall 🥇
Mercedes lost a previous customer in me going with the 4 cylinder turbo. Needed to replace my old C43 and went into the M340I. Took delivery back in October and been very happy with it so far. Just been an adjustment to use their infotainment system.
People saying the M340i, but it seems to me that the one with the most worth for the common people is the C43. The engine is perfect for countries with heavy tax on engines bigger than 2.0l. It also got the best looks and interior imo.

At low speed it takes some getting used to but the way it slams into gears in S+ is so freaking good. Love the feel of that car, feels so much more edgy and sporty IMHO.
It's not easy to me to fathom why Audi don't make 4-cylinder quattro models rear-wheel drive biased, like the 6-cylinder (disappearing quickly) ones. Interior aesthetics: it's clear to me how the focus on (large) displays has become what everything interior design hinges on. As a result Audi, where the display isn't yet the king of everything, have now the best-looking interior. 19:26 🤞🏻That very truly is.

I agree on the C43 being super cool with the v6biturbo. But the C43 AMG absolutely feels more special to drive than the M340i (having driven both). However I am brand agnostic. I’d own any of these without reservation and in fact have the last gen GLC AMG43 with V6. The driving dynamics on all of these cars is fun, but I’ve always found the AMG’s to be more hard edged when comparing M sports to Baby AMG’s. either way my next vehicle will mean test driving all of them again and I do love that beautiful B58, though I think I’ll aim for a Full M or Full AMG (63s) next time. I have my eye on an X3 M Competition right now. So we will see. I recommend driving a C43 for real…it’s surprising, even with that little engine (that is also underrated)
As a driver of a 4 cylinder cupra formentor, my next car will be the 6 cylinder b58 in the bmw m340i, but in touring form, it is a good balance of fun, luxury and practicality, thank you Thomas for comparing all these cars, just reaffirms my decision on what I'm going to look at in a year or so time, best thing is a year old model you can save around 15,000 pounds in the uk 👍
Thomas, another amazingly thorough comparison review. I agree with all of your conclusions on each of the cars. I really wish Audi would listen to you (and us) that we prefer a better user interface, especially for the climate controls. The control knob in the BMW is a nice compromise but the Audi S4/S5 climate controls are great. Thanks again.
Why is video quality unavailable? On the us east coast…
Low Profile horizontal screens make no sense for sat nav, I want to see wher I am going not way off to the left and right, a proper portrait screen is way better
There are some things that I don’t agree with you, and one thing that I absolutely disagree with you is that AMG cars were the most different with their non AMG cars. I think that BMW M cars differ the most from the normal cars. On the Audi part, I agree. There is the gap little and the transition is smooth.
do the cla 45s vs 340i
I didn't expect it but the Audi petrol version is my favorite. Mercedes looks the best from the outside, but I am completely turned off by their interior.
Since we only get the TDi version of the S4 in the UK it's not really comparable to the Merc or 340i for us. Bring back the TFSi S4 in Europe!
Audi S4. I’ve had a few BMW 3 series cars and always got tired of them. The S4 is so easy to live with.

Was that your dog, Thomas? Very handsome dog he is. Wonder if he can do car reviews too? Hope he will make more guest appearances.

hehe no, used to have a dog but that's sadly long ago.
Wouldn’t it be more fair to compare with Audis next gen model which will be coming soon, rather than the older model shown
That iconic B58 engine from BMW. Just an outstanding, well balanced design! TBH...I'd love to get the B58 engine in the standard 3 series which opens up the options! That's how I want mine. I'm not such a fanboy of that faked piped in artificially sounding engine noise! No thank you.
Regarding engines my opinion goes semthing like: You buy premium brands also (not only) for experience that other common brands can't deliver. So in this case i expect to have bigger engine than 4cyl you can have in Octavia RS or so. Yes, merc 4 cyl has great power, but it is still just 4 cylinder, does not matter how much artificial sounds you "slap" on it. I was huge fan of previous c43 because of great sound. But now, 340i all the way (and i don't like BMW as a brand really... so it says a lot). Let's not talk about that TDI S4 please, it is almost inappropriate.
I personally think the high spec 2.0L Giulia is the best overall package for a sport sedan available today, but the B58 in the BMW and the Audi seats and interior are incredible.

I am in love to with Alfa, but 3.0 R3 in BMW is also worth of considerations. Plus bmw is available in touring spec …

The Giulia does look great but interior is cheap in comparison to these, also the 2.0 engine is rough and slow. They are also very unreliable. If Alfa improved quality and gave it 360hp it would be perfect, unfortunately the 280 hp version just can't compete at the same level as these 3.

I wish I was as confident in my opinion as many of those who responded are. I like all of these cars and would be happy with any of them except for one feature. I am 73 years old and from a generation that prefers screens to be integrated into the dashboard, not tacked on. I note that Porsche has no trouble achieving this, but all three of these cars have this Achilles heel. I held onto my 2020 BMW G20 solely because its screen did not look like a billboard erected onto the dash. The huge Mercedes iPad, I feel, will soon look silly, and the Audi's perched iPad seem like a lazy engineering choice. I am hoping that the next Audi A4/S4 design will look more like the current A3 and A6, but I fear that Audi won't invest the money in this because they are focused on the electric versions. I know I am showing my age and may just need to accept that this is the future, but it's just the way I feel. Feel free to tell me to get with the times. Thank you, Thomas, for another great comparison review; I truly respect your knowledge and instincts.
