I've never owned a bmw. But my sister sells them so I've driven every car she leases them. Had a blast driving the m3 m4. I feel the build quality is top notch from the factory. Even closing the doors they feel solid.
damn, what a lucky guy i've always wanted to try an m3 or m4
@@afarrel3195 work hard man. I’m 26 and just bought an f80 m3 last year. Best car I’ve ever owned and more than enough for the average enthusiast.
@@F80mthree lucky for you, u should try to live in indonesia the cheapest m3 you can get is about 103k😂
@@F80mthree hell ya man, I'm 26 as well and about to buy 2018 340i, I make around 95k pretax and save like 40k a year since I live with my parents lol. Idgaf, I could easily get a place but I'm saving to buy 2-3 rental properties, then I'll move out. Did 4 years In the marines and moved back in with parents to save money.
Work hard, be smart. Stfu, and Grow.
@@EugeneHaroldKrab I’m 23 and I just got a 340i too. I love it so far
Remember that you can hold the traction control button to fully turn the traction control off and stability control (dcs)
Sport+ does the same no?
@@Supremepikachu It doesn't fully turn traction off. I've tried all the modes in the snow in my RWD 340i. Holding it off fully spins the tires.
@@Mike604 Weird, when i put it in sport+ it gives the same message that i get when i keep DSC pressed until it's turned off it gives the sport mode screen as well or did i not hold it long enough?
@@Supremepikachu hold it for about 10 seconds I believe. It’s been like this for a while. I also believe Sport + keeps 20% TC on if I’m not mistaken.
@@F80mthree Oh i see, and what is the difference between traction on and turning it off completely?
I like the idea. You’re right, you modify your car then you get bored. I think you could really boost your channel if you and your friends really brainstorm and get cars keep them, mod them tastefully, then sell and get more. Just start multiplying and collecting.
1,500 with a b58 gets you a stage 2+ tune, catless Downpipe and upgraded hpfp. Some e blend and your right under 500 wheel.
😭unless you’re me and don’t want no one else that have a 340i to beat me so i go big single turbo on e85
Looking forward to this series. I purchased a 2019 bmw m240i with the same b58 platform. Going “stage 2” tomorrow . Stage 1 already feels insane just between how smooth and comfortable it is, but has a kick to it. Extremely well rounded car, and for the price, Definitely worth it
I've also habe a stock m240i. How stage 2 compare to stock? ^^ thanks!
Night and day difference. If your looking to just bring the life out of the car and not have to do much. Get a bootmod 3 tune and XHP stage 2 trans flash paired with stage 1 93 map, and the car turns into a different beast.
Stage 2 just brings it to life that much more and for a small price tag of 300 for a downpipe, can’t be beat
2nd gen B58 in the M340i and Supra is even more beastly. BMW has done something special with their B58 motor variants.
The electronic suspension option staggered is next level and is really good in the different modes, soft or hard.
Chris is cool. Have fun learning!
Neat fact the intercooler is a liquid cooled intercooler that is built into the intake manifold. And it’s not really something you need to upgrade which is nice
Unfortunately I'm in South Africa can't win it even if I tried. But that looks like a mk7 gti
Vrrpahs
330hp is enough for a lot of people. More than quick enough for a fun daily commute. Looking at getting a g20 m340i soon.
I hope you got it bro
Try a modded XDrive 340. Totally different world !
Did highway pulls 60-130 with one of these a couple years ago driving through vermont in a 2007 350z I owned at the time. We were both stock with the exceptions of an exhaust on my z and were neck and neck until 100 and he'd pull maybe a car to 130. Didn't know what a 340i was until then
yes it is but you need the xDrive model which is much faster and puts it to the ground better.
can’t spin it tho
@@elijahgavrilov8470can xDrive delete if you want to spin it, if you wanna launch hard xDrive is goat
the b58 is no joke
After this project you need to do a VW Golf R that’s the true halo car of VW. You can’t compare the GTI to this BMW.
But this is basically the gti of bmw since the m3 would be the top tier one as golf R would be
@@imjay2463 I would more or less consider a 328i the "gti of bmw" even the m235i is steps beyond the gti, and it's a 2 series. The b58 alone puts this car in a completely different class than almost any VW I can think of, and this is coming from someone who owns a 05 mk4 and I love the car. But I also have friends that have owned m235i's and 340i's. That isn't to say the R isn't a seriously impressive car with some serious abilities.
@@forin9345 nah, a 328i like a regular golf lmao no way your saying a gti is like a 328i lol
@@imjay2463 it definitely is a good comparison
@@forin9345 considering the M235i Gran coupe is a direct rival to the S3 with both having awd and roughly 300hp, the 228i would compete with the A3. S3 = Golf R, Europe has a 128ti (direct rival to the Gti, with a little more power).
That said, the 128ti is just as quick as the M235i/M135i.
When I had a Mk7 Gti, it was quicker than my both of my friends 228i coupe and 230i coupe, it was actually pretty close to a stock f30 335i xdrive, stock for stock and both auto.
Love the video…….. but what’s that clicking sound when you turn? 😂
how convenient, cam uploaded JUST as i got home from work? its like he read my mind or something O-O
Cameron did a GTI S the same year I did my mk7 GTI S. I'm now deciding between a 135i, 335i, 340i, S3, or Golf R to trade the GTI on.
I'll be interested to see how his build goes - yet again.
335 gang can find one for less than 10k
have a mk6 rn and stuck with the same issue
Wayzor & people. HELP ME OUT!! I got a 31k$ loan from my bank!!!! I learned about this channel! I wanna get into the car scene! Always been a dream!! I’d be down for the GTI S but I’m worried about reliability! Should I get a GTI or a bmw to mod?! Im down even just a Stage 1 tune!
Lmfao there’s literally no reason to choose a N54 over a B58 the maintenance is too much
that’s the b58, the supra has the b58TU, which is the revised version. Higher output and slightly different design. same block though
I went from a '16 M235 to a '20 440i. I hated the 440i stock, it was slow and sluggish. Then I got the MPPSK and I f-ing love it.
it would be even more of a beast when you get a downpipe and mhd tune.
@@swirled oh I already have 450 rwhp build planned out. Just need to wait until my CPO warranty runs out in 2025. 😂
SO EXCITED FOR THIS BUILD
Its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
damn i remember back then before i bought my z and i was doing research on the car and i found ur channel and now that i sold my z and doing my research on a 340i i found ur channel again ha
Please do a bmw project car would be awesome🔥💯
Hmmm Lexus hatchback or Mazda 3 hatch is what I think the car is
Battery is in the back i belive !
Specify the year big guy cuz they’re dinosaurs
MAN I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

Got my entries mate! Bring the project over to Vivid Racing we can help you promote it!
lol welcome to the dark side where everything looks the same
I'm sure you're aware now but the battery is in the trunk
the model 3 S gets smoke easy! 😂😂
Gen 1 and gen 2 B58’s are a little different. Gen 2 is a little more capable and reliable
What’s the year difference? Like what years are the gen 1s
@@nikomatsis7238 gen 1 B58s are mostly from the F generation of BMWs from 2016-2018 in cars like the 340i, 440i, M240i, etc. Gen 2 B58s are found in the BMW G generation of cars like the M340i, as well as the A90 Supra
@@junmaecarlo there’s no difference with the B58s, the only thing changed was the fuel pump shut your mouth spewing wrong information
Tbh there aint much difference
Is the car giveaway world wide?
“This thing boogies” that’s funny af lol And I’m gonna try to get some entries in before that promo ends my wife keeps telling me all these give aways are a joke I just need to win one to prove her otherwise
Hi, how does it compare to the subaru Sti ? Pretty sure is faster , is the suspension much more comfy?
Yes my car was fun stock, more fun modded
You can tell this car is not equipped with the XHP tune , the XHP makes it 2s faster and more fun to drive.
Waoooo switch up so fast
🔥💯💪, keep up the work
Is his windshield cracked?
put it on bags
🔥🔥🔥
waiting for warranty to expire to do donuts? lol FULL SEND IT and worse case scenario you have warranty to fix anything
what year 340i is this and what packages does it have
Gotta clean that engine my guy
I own one and no it’s not fun at all to drive stock
Those come with the b58 ?
Yes, ALL BMWs with “40” has b58
@@Hold.My.Tacoss hell yeah thanks
Battery is in boot tho.. :)
what year is this
Great vid, +1
CAMERON------- first please like my comment and fee free to respond but i don’t know much about bmw but i have fixed cooling systems in them and hopefully after this series i’ll know more. but where is the subaru i neeeeeed to see it turn on and rumble for the first time and should i put a backseat in my 350z
Nah Gen 1 B58 is pretty different from Gen 2
Hey im thinking of buying either e90 325i (218) lci 2009-2011 or f30 320i (184) 2012. Can you give me your thoughts and advice on which one is better? Which engine is better and more reliable the N53 or N20? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Europe, Bulgaria.
N20 is decent lower mileages
The n52/53 mis one of the most reliable modern bmw engines being naturally aspirated whereas n20 was bmw first attempt a turbo 4 cylinder and many engine failures have occurred based on some quick research.
Gti
Bought some merch hopefully I win 🙏🏼🙏🏼
