Whattt up!
My name is Alex - I love cars and filmmaking. Although I do love all types of cars, I grew up being very involved/interested in the stance/JDM scene. I recently got into drifting and have been documenting everything as I go.
I decided to do this RUclips thing so that I can one day look back and reminisce on all the good times with family & friends - as well as it possibly becoming a way I can continue to fund car builds / help others / create videos.
I've always been interested in filmmaking & have recently decided to pursue my love for creating videos. Expect to see random car features once in a while!

E30 FIRST START TAKING DELIVERY OF THE CLEANEST E36 M3 EVER!
M gang 💪💪💪
Nice!!! You have chrome because it’s not a competition
What wheels Are these?
We got the same rims
12 minutes?
What are the parts you guys using for this can I get a list of that
A stage 2 tune on the M340i will really wake it up. Please do a rematch when he does. Bonus points would be an xhp stage 3 trans tune on the M340i as well!
What size tires are those lmao
34ft tooo longggg
What camera you using?
Sick vlog! Late comment but would you mind asking Alik what cage he got for his z? (tryna do the same on my '07)
@@obesesleepi it’s a Cusco cage!
@AlexMelnik Thanks! (time to go watch the rest of the z videos you got)
what is a stage 1.5?
No digs is crazy. But the m340 is pretty average unless you have xdrive. Stock rwd m340 loses to stock 392 scat (just barely) but still. Would love to see some digs with xdrive model.
A stock M340i will beat a stock scat pack hands down. I tried it multiple times on mine. Now I’m stage 2 e50 and I’m beating hellcats from rolls, I’m xDrive so from a dig is just a waste of gas since they can’t even keep up on rolls.
I got rwd because I have my 4x4 truck for bad weather. I have absolutely wrecked every single thing Mopar has outside of the Hellcat lineup.
340 never had a chance 😐
M3 better gearing
bro gonnna hit a speedbump and he gonna ruin everything lol
I tried to straight pipe my R6 but it was too loud, after a 10 minutes ride i had my hears burning
I chose the IS500 and I’m not sorry.
whats the wheel set up?
Man I’m bouuta buy a steering wheel just to manifest me buying a 350z manual as my first ever manual/drift car
What the??? So The title is just a joke then?? Piss me off!
😭was not expecting the street drift type shit i want to do but to much of a puss
Should of come with 275's on rear as standard
where did you get the background music from for this vid? some fire tunes
It's testament to b58s how close it is to a stage 2 m3. You can see it how it dies up top, maybe it's capped on stage 1 to account for cats etc but would be great to see stg 2 so it can push the exhaust upgrades and all.
We need to see a rematch both on a stage 2 tune.
lol that was a testament to the S55, not the B58... that 340 was walked bad lol... how much worse would it need to have been walked for the b58 to not qualify as a "testament"... lmao!
@@Andy-bm6zoYou do realize the M340i comes with a baby turbo that doesn’t flow nearly as much as the twins in the S55? Put the same turbo on both cars, and it’s B58 all day.
What track is that? Tou guys come out to Evergreen Speedway?
These are the mustangs guys are known for crashing
wait its 2 door?
The best looking 600 hands down!
Stock for stock b58 keeping up
delusion
Wtf are you talking about lol. Stock for stock??! So a m4 comp 444hp is equivalent to a 382 hp m340?! Go to sleep please...
@@N8_Tha_GR8_1horse power doesn’t mean shit😭 so what you’re saying is irrelevant
@@zboogiewitdahoodie3614 Carwow done a race between M440i, RWD G82 and F82. From a dig and roll race. In the wet. Guess how the B58 performed 🤣
I raced my friends f80 M3 Comp in my stock M340i xDrive and it was extremely close. We did multiple rolls and a dig. He couldn’t keep up in the dig.. But anyways, from a roll he got me by about half a car to 1 full car up top, from about 30-140.
M340 needs a real tune
Huge American flag in “Mexico” 😂
What material was the hood and fenders? And were they unpainted?
More content bruh
How about kdm cars
Hearing Lupe Fiasco in the beginning of the video made me feel like it was Goanna be a good video 😊
what wheels on the m340? Awesome car, definitely love the styling more on the f80 but that blue hits differently
Makes a world of difference
I’m coming for you boys in my e36 😂
Filmed in mexico 🇲🇽😈
damn david had a glowup
One of these two is going to be my next car. How is the M3 as a daily? Is the suspension as bad as people report or is it fine?
Go m340i bro trust me💯you legit get sooo much all in one fuckin car bro😭it’s the perfect car especially when tuned??? Tssss
F8X platform absolutely clears the M Three Hundred and Forty i (lol) stock for stock mod for mod. If you can afford it, go for a clean F8X series post LCI with competition pack. Suspension is adjustable and I love mine. Don't let the broke and delusional B58 kids fool you.
@@mistrkawz I bought an F80 Competition and returned it very quickly. The road noise is absolutely awful here in crappy UK roads. The lack of noise insulation along with those massive 20 inch wheels on low profile tyres plus the wheels being bolted directly on the subframe is annoying unless you're going on a spirited drive. I couldn't daily this car. If you're going to buy a weekend car you might as well buy a Caymen.
@@KieoryyI second this, I was in the market for both and went with the M340i and am really glad I did. It’s the perfect car.
@@mistrkawza used F80 is around the same price as a G20.... 😂
Damn we need go see yall run it both stage 2 the two cars im debating on buying i love both
short answer get an m3 you would regret an m340i, despite what the b58 clan echo chamber says s55 is always faster mod for mod
@@Danbimmerfan yea thats what im leaning towards too just more for the handling n a 6mt. Also dont care to be the fastest on the road f8x just seems way more fun to drive honestly
@@Danbimmerfan its faster mod for mod but also more expensive mod for mod so go with what you can afford cause theres more options in 340 for less or less option in m3 for more.
@stockaf30 yeah true I do think b58 makes more sense to build for high hp applications especially for price difference, f80s imo are best left on stock twins plenty of juice and enjoy the twisties
@@Danbimmerfan exhaust, wheels, and suspensions about all you need for an f80. Great car from factory.
Dude question, can you keep the rear bucket and springs and also have on the true coil overs on at the same time or do u have to take off the springs from the bucket?
hey man, i'm building a static s2k and was wondering what spring rates are you running? i would like to have the max stiffness needed to not clap my fenders before the ride gets unbearable, would appreciate ur insight since i'm assuming ur s2k is static!! thx man
Hey dude - 24k and 20k swift springs on fortune auto coilovers.
@@AlexMelnikthank you brother!! do you think if i went 30 k’s front and rear it would make ride quality worse?? what’s the reason for you running different rates front and rear??
@@bisooyeong Weight Distritbution is why you run different spring rates on front and rear
Chrisfix ahh driveway
Nice video! Definitely need a rematch once he does stage 2 tune. Would make it very very interesting.
Thanks! We’ll have to redo it someday 🙌
I’d never take a fake M poster over a real M. S55/s58 all day
Make sure the crank hub is good
100% M car > NPC car
Why is it fake M poster ? What’s wrong with M340i ? Is Audi S4 fake RS ? Or c43 AMG fake c63 ……. These are less sportier versions for less money , not everyone can spend the money for the full blown version from their line up ☝️
these are very different cars. M340 is daily with power and thousands of dollars cheaper. The F and G Ms are track focused cars with less mpg.
@@jawadalla11 with less MPG ? You don’t buy a high performance car for better mpg 😂
That M-poster needs some fortified vitamins. Sell it and buy a grown up M, bro.
Go cry in the corner, S55 ain’t breaking records. I don’t think it’s even in the 8s yet. B58 is in the only BMW in the 7s…
@@Eddy-09 LMAO! I’m crying? The video is right there my guy. It’s ok, one day you’ll grow up to own a real M car.
Hey, where can I get a tune for this cause it will run lean right? Please help bro
