For sure, especially as the stock speakers are perfectly OK with the possible exception of the under seat woofers, and even those are fine unless you're into EDM or other bass heavy genres. I only listen to Classic Rock, so I haven't bothered to make any changes to my Hi-Fi system, other than to add tweeters to the rear doors and to add real crossovers between the mids and the tweeters.

Did you make your own crossovers? I assume you have the knowledge and ability to do that.

[Billfitz]

Yes, I did.

This is very useful

Comfort access (keyless) is probably the main thing I am missing, although reverse cam would be nice extra too.

Where did you find service info. I'm about to purchase a 2017 340i GT

[kristobendito]

I wish I had found this thread before I got mine.

[Fuksas]

I wish I knew my F34 had different width tires (front and back)

[Billfitz]

They're the same all around on mine.

If I am honest what I had been missing out on, coming from a Ford Escape/Kuga, to a 320d GT, the comfort your getting is amazing, with the 8 speed auto-box a delight to use and when it's slapped into sport mode just a sheer treat, First BMW and won't lie it will not be my last!

[DannnnyG]

'15 328i xdrive from Canada here...

Wish I had found this forum before getting my f34... the vast amount of tips, info etc on the f30 sedan is almost endless; specific info on the f34 is like finding a needle in a haystack lol
This is also my first BMW and certainly won't be my last either!

If the sunroof didn't close right, or one of the doors, the mothereffer floods in an auto carwash.
I had water coming through the damn mic holes in the roof liner, damn near crapped my pants in the midst of it.
BMW's first foray into frameless windows only error was my passengers not shutting the damn door all the way.
The sunroof one... might have to have someone who knows better look at the seals, but never doing a drive through car wash again.

[Billfitz]

The necessity of having the sunroof and doors fully closed to keep water out applies to all cars. I've never had a drop of water come into my F34.

I wish I had known sooner, rather than later, the convenience and utility of the F34. I wish I hadn't listened to the reviews of the GT's, like the first 5-Series GT, and then when the 3er GT came out...

[Billfitz]

The 5GT was a nice car spoiled by the hatch configuration, which was overly complicated for no good reason. It was much better when they did a redesign of the hatch in the 6GT. The interiors of both versions were gorgeous. As for the GT reviews, those from European sources were much different than those from American sources. Europeans 'got it', Americans didn't.
