I love watching these videos, seeing their facility, equipment and processes knowing that they tuned my car!! RaceChip transformed my car into something I don't recognize! We are talking adding a turbo or supercharger level of difference along with Roar Pedal and K&N filter little race ⛽️ fuel I am living my dream.
Numbers only tell part of the story. The M340i is quite a bit faster in stock form than an M4 from a dig race despite the power difference due to the xdrive system. A side by side race tuned vs tuned comparison would have still been interesting. I think the M340i takes both races tbh. Rolling races might be a different story.
Thanks for watching our new Episode! Actually, we kind of messed up the M 340i's tuning run to be honest. By using 3rd to 5th gear as we did for the stock run, we would have probably even been a bit faster... Still almost M4 time! ;)
Great video!! I have an F30 B58 w/ mppsk, dinan springs, and I've upgraded my tires to 245/40ZR19s (front) / 265/35ZR19s (rear). I'm looking at the Dinan cold air intake, and may add the JB4. My goal is to be about 425hp / 440 ft/lbs torque. Your video mentions the downpipe install + GTS black. Do you think your install solution of these two items would bring my car to the levels I'm trying to reach?
With the first version of the B58 you can reach up to 400 HP (crank) without mods so getting to around 425 HP (also crank, of course) with a down pipe and a RaceChip GTS Black should definitely be possible. However, if you decide to go with our product, please reach out to our technical customer service so they can tell you which setting to use with a modded car.
I am glad the shops are still using M4 as a benchmark for new generation tuning, I bought M4 because f82 is one of the last generation RWD M cars, and the G generation was designed by a previous Citreon designer, I'm not fan of it.
On the 2nd gen b58 not being a completely different engine I’d have to disagree. It has a reworked head for cooling and a better hpfp are two of the biggest things but all in all has so many other smaller ones that it is a completely different engine with the same name
Let me repeat my answer from an older comment which mentioned the same issue: It's actually where the M4 shift flash (in the heads up display) suggests to shift so that's what we went with. We also tried some runs in automatic mode but it didn't make a difference. Since 9,2s with two people in the car is pretty much in the same ballpark as other runs you can find on the internet, we went with that. However, as mentioned in our VoiceOver, with driver only you should be able to get even lower 9 seconds times, maybe even high 8s. But: we drove the M 340i with two people in the car as well so I'm not sure if it would be an actual advantage for the M4.

The M2 mode was set to the second of three modes and we just missed to change it after restarting the car at some point. However, I guess this didn't decrease acceleration significantly. Hope this clarifies things a bit :)
If your looking to be faster than m340s just get z4 sdrive35is. Strap some bolts ons to i, get a tune and get different injectors and fuel pump turn boost up a bit you will hit over 500hp for less than 1000$. I smoke stock m4s m3s Rs4s etc etc..
Jetzt kann ich’s erst recht nicht erwarten meinen M340i Touring abholen zu können. Der RaceChip GTS liegt schon bereit...Vorfreude! Wisst Ihr zufällig was für ein Einach Fahrwerk das Auto hat? Nur Federn oder Gewinde? Danke und macht weiter so!
Hey Guys, thanks for the great video. I’m the lucky owner of an 2022 M340i touring (xDrive) and would like to tune it a bit as well. Wich tuner would you guys prefer (in the Netherlands or Germany). Thanks and keep the content coming 🙏
M4 has 7 heat exchangers to manage higher temps from a higher state of tune. A chip may allow the M340i to make more power, but what about additional cooling and effect on reliability of drivetrain over a few years?
Why compare a tuned sedan against a couple? Why not testing the M340 against the 4 door M3? Wouldn't that make more sense? Or are we just assuming their tuned M340 is outperforming the F80 M3, and going after the next, better performing M car?
Great video! Watched the whole thing. Thinking of buying my m340i instead of leasing the new ones. So I can install a downpipe and decent tune, but what are you thoughts on still using it a daily driver? Any effects for using a tune even when you keep up with maintenance?
After watching half way I have subscribed 💪💙 and thumbed up. Quick question MY22 M340i xD MHT saloon brand new.. Is it worth fitting a down pipe straight away or would you advise run a few thousands miles??? Also fuel economy got me 🤒 what would you say does MPG spikes up?
My M340i is due to arrive in April - did this car have the downpipe but keep the OPF? I wonder if the new mild hybrid system will totally destroy the sound of the B58.
Seeing the most recent spy pics of the G80 M3 with the huge ass kidneys from the M4 i have to say that i would take the M340i over the G80 any day, no matter how good it drives.
XRP Real Estate Dude actually it wasn’t a critique on the music but that there should be no music. Im sorry that makes me a failure at life. I’m sure you are a better person in all measurable ways.
A wonderful comparison and I share your passion for the B58. I have the M340i touring xdrive and the way this motor responds is just amazing. The sound is classic - I think the single twin scroll turbo 'embedded' close to the intake is the key to that. If I was ever to modify/tune this do you export the packs ? The down pip[e seems a pre-requisite given the gains made just this that.
Congrats to your M 340i touring! We ship our products all around the world and you can install them by yourself in a matter of around 15 minutes. Down pipe for the b58 definitely has a bigger effect than for a lot of other engines but even without, you can get to around 460 HP with a tune. For the 480 HP which you saw in the video, the down pipe's mandatory.
I have a bmw m340i and I would like to buy gts black, but first I would like to be sure I am able to install it. I therefore ask you if it is possible to have specific assembly instructions for my car before moving on to a possible purchase. Thank you Alexander
Hi Alexander, sorry for the late reply first of all. Please feel free to contact our customer service at support@racechip.com - they will gladly provide you with the installation guide.
Question. When you dyno one specific car for making the chip, how do you know the chip works just as good in other cars of the same model? All engines are abit different i guess. And does the tuned M340i need 98 octanes or higher or do you make the chip for 95 octanes?
Awesome! Can't wait - will this work on the upcomming 2021 M340 as well or just 2020. Also I know in past video you explained blue line and number is your wheel horsepower number, so same here right? That is great gain!
Thanks! Will work on the 2021 model just fine because there won't be any changes engine wise. Correct, blue line on the chart and the respective numbers on the right of the chart is WHP.
I just don't get why bme destroyed their grill design on all their cars its so sad and makes audi and Mercedes look so much better. one real question you should have addressed was how does it suck in air ? the grill is closed completely...???
Only the upper quarter of the grille is closed permanently (or to put it easier: it's fake). The lower three quarters open and close while driving depending on intake air requirements. It's pretty similar to what Mercedes has been doing for a few years now on several models.
In Europe, dyno runs always show engine horsepower which is a result of wheel horsepower + drivetrain loss. We explained that quite detailed in another video, check it out: ruclips.net/video/dtavbg72xEg/видео.html

Hello, is the M340i dyno run performed on setting 7? Do you have power and torque values for settings 5, 6, 7? And is the Racechip safe to leave on 7 permanently? Thanks.
We didn't produce a video for the G20 30i but the product is already available for a few months. Have a look here to check out the performance data: www.racechip.com/shop/bmw/3-series-g20-from-2018/330i-1998ccm-258hp-190kw-400nm.html
How about the 435xd ? I’d like to see a comparison with that one, too. It has 313hp and 630nm (stock) so what do you think how does it compare (still being street legal in germany)
@Arda It's a complete suspension setup from Eibach with springs & coilovers, called "Pro Street Multi". You can find it at web2.carparts-cat.com/default.aspx?34=0,2047568&240=0&32=134016&230=29&1271=48&1272=6cef5a54-17b5-4d9e-a3f0-7fd060e98ce0&1273=1&10=48D547545F40476E9BE6009BF87CA825241001&14=1&12=130
Our products work with all variants of the B58 engine while with the older version, performance gains are a little more conservative of course (around 405 HP are possible without additional mods). Please note that in the US, the X3 M40i has been released with both variants of the B58 engine. If you can tell me you exact horsepower values I can check out data base for the respective product.
A really well done and informative video, great job! Still, there is one quite important missing link between those cars - the wheels and tires. The M4 has no chance against tuned M340i with forged wide wheels and wide PS4S/F1SS instead of these crappy PZ's anywhere, but dry Autobahn at high speeds. While M4 is lot more fun on side roads, the tuned M340i with proper rubber is shockingly fast, still with absolutely no torque transfer issues.
Are you saying stock for stock, or M4 stock vs tuned M340? There isn’t a comparison if you are saying stock for stock or mod for mod. They are both very capable cars but once you mod the M4 it’s no longer a reasonable comparison- hence why they didn’t mod the M4, as they said in the video.
Yeah, you'd have to test both cars head 2 head on a track which we didn't have the time for. Would be interesting to see if the AWD of the M 340i is able to beat the RWD M4. From what you can tell on the road, there's pretty much zero understeer which is impressive.
@@RaceChipChiptuning I realise the lack of time, but that would have been an immensely more meaningful comparison. Especially if you had managed to do stock M340i vs. modded M340i vs. M4 stock. lap times. I may be wrong, but I suspect that while straight line performance may be attainable for far less money than the price difference between an M4 and an M340i, lap times would tell a different story.
Hey Randy, you can compare the RS and GTS Black pretty easy on our product page: www.racechip.us/shop/bmw/3-series-g20-from-2018/m340i-2998ccm-382hp-275kw-369lb-ft.html But in short, with the GTS Black you get more power and better features, most importantly: 2 year engine warranty, 1 re-programming if you change to another car in the future Putting the car back to stock is pretty easy: Version 1: Simply deactivate the tuning in the app (in case you opt in for the app feature) or put the GTS Black on mapping 0 (if you don't get the app) and the car runs with stock power right away. Version 2: Deinstall the product including wire harness and it's back to stock for good (which is what most people do before giving the car into service at the dealership)
@RaceChip , can you make a video on how much difference there is for an 840d like you did with the m340i ? or a bmw 540d on dyno before and after race chip installment ?
As a BMW owner and admittedly fanboy I am very disappointed with them as of late with their nickel and diming practices. I'm referring to making people pay for a subscription to Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, heated seats and whatever else they will require a subscription for. This is why I have been boycotting BMW and now am sticking to my current car, not to mention they are going away from RWD on to FWD. First they killed the road and direct steering feel connection, then do the subscription nonsense and the FWD crap.
The M 340i sounds a little bit better than the previous B58 models even in stock. BMW seems to have invested some work in the sound. Nonetheless, the downpipe still helps a lot, definitely makes a huge difference to stock.
Hi, I have a Racechip GTS black for my BMW M340i and just wondering if there is a difference between hitting the off button on the phone app and setting 0? Do they both put the car back to stock mapping/tune?

Well, the latest Supra also has the revised B58 so I guess it comes down to styling and how many seats you'd like to have :)

Supra blows it away style wise. This looks good, but looks like every other BMW. The Supra looks insane in real life.

How about the 435xd ? I’d like to see a comparison with that one, too. It has 313hp and 630nm (stock) so what do you think how does it compare (still being street legal in germany)
That music is way to loud
Will I lose my warranty if I tuning my bmw series 1 2018 m sport
Yes unfortunately
I have a 2017 340i and i want to upgrade but i think the new body styles are ugly as fuck. Hopefully the next design brings it back to looking good
What is the suspension setup? Is it factory shocks with eibach springs? Coilovers?
@Arda It's a complete suspension setup from Eibach with springs & coilovers, called "Pro Street Multi". You can find it at web2.carparts-cat.com/default.aspx?34=0,2047568&240=0&32=134016&230=29&1271=48&1272=6cef5a54-17b5-4d9e-a3f0-7fd060e98ce0&1273=1&10=48D547545F40476E9BE6009BF87CA825241001&14=1&12=130
M4 wurde viel zu früh hochgeschalten.
Normal braucht er 8.5 sek 100-200
considering most m4s are comp packages id have used that one to compare but its minimal good video
The M4 we've used for the comparison is a Competition Model. Sorry in case we didn't mention that in our video.
Race Chip works with B58 TU1? Will this work on a 2020 X3 M40i?
I need to know this too, @racechip
Our products work with all variants of the B58 engine while with the older version, performance gains are a little more conservative of course (around 405 HP are possible without additional mods). Please note that in the US, the X3 M40i has been released with both variants of the B58 engine. If you can tell me you exact horsepower values I can check out data base for the respective product.
A really well done and informative video, great job! Still, there is one quite important missing link between those cars - the wheels and tires. The M4 has no chance against tuned M340i with forged wide wheels and wide PS4S/F1SS instead of these crappy PZ's anywhere, but dry Autobahn at high speeds. While M4 is lot more fun on side roads, the tuned M340i with proper rubber is shockingly fast, still with absolutely no torque transfer issues.
Are you saying stock for stock, or M4 stock vs tuned M340? There isn’t a comparison if you are saying stock for stock or mod for mod. They are both very capable cars but once you mod the M4 it’s no longer a reasonable comparison- hence why they didn’t mod the M4, as they said in the video.
Yeah, you'd have to test both cars head 2 head on a track which we didn't have the time for. Would be interesting to see if the AWD of the M 340i is able to beat the RWD M4. From what you can tell on the road, there's pretty much zero understeer which is impressive.
@@RaceChipChiptuning I realise the lack of time, but that would have been an immensely more meaningful comparison. Especially if you had managed to do stock M340i vs. modded M340i vs. M4 stock. lap times. I may be wrong, but I suspect that while straight line performance may be attainable for far less money than the price difference between an M4 and an M340i, lap times would tell a different story.
Hello Nice M340i, My wife got the Rwd here in the U.S. What is difference between GTS & RS? If I decide to put it back to stock tune will it be easy?
Planning to get one just don’t want to void any warranty or any check engine? I’m a newbie to tunes
Hey Randy, you can compare the RS and GTS Black pretty easy on our product page: www.racechip.us/shop/bmw/3-series-g20-from-2018/m340i-2998ccm-382hp-275kw-369lb-ft.html
But in short, with the GTS Black you get more power and better features, most importantly: 2 year engine warranty, 1 re-programming if you change to another car in the future
Putting the car back to stock is pretty easy:
Version 1: Simply deactivate the tuning in the app (in case you opt in for the app feature) or put the GTS Black on mapping 0 (if you don't get the app) and the car runs with stock power right away.
Version 2: Deinstall the product including wire harness and it's back to stock for good (which is what most people do before giving the car into service at the dealership)
RaceChip Thank you for the reply, one more thing where do I get the Downpipe here in the U.S?
RaceChip when you go back to stock, does it leave any tuner codes?
pro tip for amateur youtubers - when talking details make sure you turn down the music or you dont use it at all.
Is this measuring wheel horsepower?
@RaceChip , can you make a video on how much difference there is for an 840d like you did with the m340i ? or a bmw 540d on dyno before and after race chip installment ?
Do you make a GTS black chip for US SPEC?
Why is the gear change in 2 and not in 3 in the m4?
I would like to see the cars more, I am here for cars, not faces.
Can you buy the m340i with a manual?
No
@@KiingCam96 I know, but that is a difference, cuz you can buy the m4 with manual, for more fun. (maybe slower round times)
Yes you can just the older gen one
Omg..😢😢 where is his hair!? Is he ok? His beautiful hair??
As a BMW owner and admittedly fanboy I am very disappointed with them as of late with their nickel and diming practices. I'm referring to making people pay for a subscription to Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, heated seats and whatever else they will require a subscription for. This is why I have been boycotting BMW and now am sticking to my current car, not to mention they are going away from RWD on to FWD. First they killed the road and direct steering feel connection, then do the subscription nonsense and the FWD crap.
Does the downpipe make an immediate difference to the engine note/noise? Just wondering as my m140i sounds nothing like that?!
The M 340i sounds a little bit better than the previous B58 models even in stock. BMW seems to have invested some work in the sound. Nonetheless, the downpipe still helps a lot, definitely makes a huge difference to stock.
Is the ibach suspenion just springs?
Just springs!
Hi, I have a Racechip GTS black for my BMW M340i and just wondering if there is a difference between hitting the off button on the phone app and setting 0? Do they both put the car back to stock mapping/tune?
reduce the volume of the music next time, cant hear the voice that well
It’s not just the volume it’s the type of music as well....play some hard rock or at least something that is inspiring!
