3/14/2019: Only M340i xDrive up now - RWD no longer available
3/14/2019 UPDATE: 2020 M340i (RWD) available on configurator, not sure if it'll be up for long given pricing sheet only mentions xDrive availability in Canada...
3/9/2019 UPDATE: Link below still redirects to show 2019 330i xDrive only
EDIT: Hmm... looks like it's no longer up as it redirects the URL to show MY19 330i only. I probably came across it while they were testing it before going live; I'll keep an eye out.


Looks like the configurator (Build & Price) on bmw.ca has M340i available now. https://www.bmw.ca/content/bmw/marke...B/G20/esl/new/

Granted there's more standard options now, there's a big price difference between when I bought MY16 340i vs. this new MY20 M340i... For comparison:
- Base MSRP for MY16 340i RWD was $51,900 CAD before taxes when I ordered my vehicle at the end of 2015
- Base MSRP for MY20 340i RWD is $59,150 CAD before taxes
Nice thing is you effectively get M Perf tune, LSD, Remote Starter, Alarm System, Storage Compartment Package (yay ), Parking sensors, Driving Assist, Digital Instrument cluster & 10.25" iDrive touch screen as well as ConnectedDrive Professional as standard - hard to say if that much of a price difference is justified though.

If you're going by packages, the F30 prices to the same if not more. To get the same equipment as the G20 on the F30 (MY18), you would need to add premium package enhanced and smartphone connectivity packages for $7,250 which is on top of the base price of $56,800. That doesn't include the power/sound kit to try and match the power of the G20 which is another $2,800. So if you're comparing the closest build possible, the G20 isn't terribly priced. The debate is whether or not you need the options. I personally don't need most of those options so I would be forced to pay just for the vehicle. Those wanting those options are getting it at a slight discount vs. the F30.

(Of course this doesn't include the interest and residual value).

I have a fully loaded RWD 340i and by comparison, a similar fully loaded G20 M340i with the "Premium Excellence Package" is slightly higher by about $2,000 CAD on it's MSRP. But again, you do get more features like Laser Lights, LSD & Remote Starter.
IMO, you get better value for this vehicle if you option it out vs. getting a base or less options.

Check the OP’s edit.

They took it back down.

Hopefully we’ll all be able to see it soon.

I just asked about this the other day. Now that its down, broke my heart.

Edit: Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the 340i supposed to start at $56k USD?

The image above shows 63k CAD which is 48.5k USD.

I'm not familiar with the standard equipment for US M340i but it may be different than standard equipment in Canada so that's where the price difference may come from but pricing generally varies across countries due to taxes/tariffs/etc. either way so it's hard to do a direct conversion like that.

You can use the official price guide and just add it up in Excel. That is what I did. Mine came out to $79K fully loaded out the door, basically every option except smokers package and individual paint. Used the delivery stuff from the configurator for the 330i.

Starting price is $61,850 CAD. The config tool includes freight, fees, etc. in the base price.

No way... I currently see RWD option only on the configurator as well. Something tells me they're still tinkering with it because the pricing sheet for 2020 M340i only shows xDrive option as of March 1st. Maybe they're in the process of revising it?

I find this pretty interesting:

I really want a classic front engine rear wheel drive inline 6 BMW. Why do these suits in Ultimate drive think it is too much to ask? Dammit. Yeah, RWD might be tricker in the snow, but it is my problem to worry about. Unlike manual, Germany still make RWD version of G20, Why can't us Canadian customers order one? We are goddamn paying.

Even if it's offered, it's not readily available. I waited 4-5 months for each of the RWD bmw models I've had due to allocation limitations and I'm over it now. If I get another performance BMW model, it'll will have to be an M car with M xDrive for best if both worlds.

Can a US Citizen order a car by doing business with a Canadian dealership? Building the car in Canada actually seems better.

It'll come in KM instead of MPH and I'm not to sure your warranty would work at a BMW dealer in the states, I would contact a dealer and ask them about that... I'm sure under request it's possible.. money makes anything possible haha

Maybe I'm seeing something wrong but the Canadian M340i build fully loaded is almost the MSRP price of the a U.S. Build M340i.
