BMW F30 340i B58 Manual 6MT Long Term Ownership Review - Better than an M3?

Hold traction button off to get into dsc off mode and have fun, but be careful very unpredictable

Have you tried the MPS 4s? What's your opinion on those vs your SS?

Clean whip man, been looking on the market for one of these now just worried about those bmw problems but I haven’t heard much about the b58 do you prefer the 340i or 335i f30

What mods have you done to the exhaust, love the sound

2018 340 x drive 6 speed is my dream car... could buy today but decided to invest in real estate properties instead 🤔

Does the dinan tune add pops? Also was it the m performance exhaust or stock.

Awesome car was the 100th like 👍

Love the sound of this car. Great job!

So I have the 2018 340i M-Sport Manual RWD. Absolutely love my car and glad I picked it up over the M3 and saved $20k. One thing though I've noticed on mine, especially shortly after startup and before it warms up, when I put it into 1-3rd gear I feel a clunk through the shifter. I'm not sure if that's a trans/engine/diff mount or the drive shaft is loose or something. The dealer said everything looked fine and they don't see any issues. Have you ever experienced anything like that in yours, am I just going crazy lol? Btw love the OEM+, thats what I want to do as well. BM3 tune, full turbo back exhaust, some intake stuff, wheels and coils.

I hate that I can’t find a 6 speed anywhere 😭😭

Such a nice spec. In Canada, it's impossible to get a non-xdrive and the manuals are extremely rare.

What front lip manufacturer did you use? Fitment looks good.

Cmon man, that B58 needs to eat, feed it a nice big turbo 😂

Owned a b58 for 6 years and only went bmw stage 1? Nah you lost me there. I've owned mine for 5 months bought stock and now pushing almost 600 on e and upgraded turbo. Don't know how you did that. Sad

You wanna sell?

You said that it has 3 modes? 🤔. Yours does not have sport+? I have a M Performance edition and have 4 modes.Actually 5 modes if I turn off everything by holding the button down for 5 secs.

A car that can do 0-60 in a shade under 5s, return 40mpg when cruising and carry 4 people in comfort - always reckoned it was a hidden gem in the BMW line-up.

Every time I find one for a good price someone beats me to it

Love it man I have a 2017 Estoril blue II 340 x drive 6spd. Love it and keeping her. Where did you get your shift knob can you post a link please.

I also own a 340i granted with the 8 speed auto but I do believe for what you get it’s probably one of the best cars for the money, there cheaper faster cars but not ones that can hold 4 people and have such a luxurious ride while looking so good. I say if you wanna ball on a budget and beat 8-10 cars on the road in a race without spending over 30k boom bmw 340 b58😘

For a car that can do 0-60 in the mid 4’s, seat 4 people at least 5’10” tall, and can be had for a reasonable price, the 340 M performance package is really hard to beat.

Nice car. I’ve been looking but now they are in the 40s

I got a 13 335 with the stage 2 tune. Love it! You got a beautiful whip there! I need the b58 with a 6mt.

6th gear really short no? 3+k at 80

Clean, I love OEM stock.

Stage 2 is perfectly safe for stock set up with DP ,

I have a 2019 440i and I do not see a stage 1 tune on Dinan's website. Am I missing something? Is this a dealer install? Thanks

No…..it’s not better than an M3 !

It's not even close.

I have the M340 xdrive 2017 automatique and still i love the sound and even if its not manual its still is great driving . Yours look a lot like my laguna seca edition 😁

wow so you reply to every comment?! wow, im impressed. Just bought this car from carvana. 2016 340i M package...the whole 9. 10k miles. brand new. looking forward to it.

If youre using it as a daily driver ya its a better buy than m3 for the money. Thats from experience with e46 e92 f82 f10 m cars comparing to 440 gran coupe. The new 240/340/440i are more than enough car for public roads. Ya theyre a whole lot softer and not as sharp as m2/3/4 but imo its plenty good. If you care about sound the b58 sounds better than s55 stock vs stock (mpe vs mpe). But s55 is wayyyy sharper. The sound is easily fixed with equal length midpipe too. Pros and cons to both but as far as car for the road 340 is better buy for the money.

Would that be faster than a x3 m40i?

Sounds great! So the only exhaust modification is the mid pipe?

Good video but I can barely hear what you were saying

I’m looking for the 340i xdrive in manual but can seem to find it at all

did i hear u right, you added the m performance brakes. how much it cost ya?

Nice video. Do you still own the car?

Dream daily, you can't find a car that ticks this many boxes

Is it the CG PRECISION DS-1 - HI-FLOW RACE CATTED DOWNPIPE ?

Need to see more of this car please🙏🏽

I love the lack of tech in a way that there's less stuff to break overtime

what i find interesting is that the two best manual luxury cars are the bmw 340i and manual acura integra. how much is the bmw 340i manual? the integra is selling for 35k (2k under msrp)

What are the main things that go wrong with these 340i cars. Like on the e92 M3 is the Rod Bearing, TA, evaporator for the AC etc.

When he accidentally said auto downshift instead of revmatch 😂😂😂😂😂

Honestly love my EB 340i. Went stage 2 and it’s insane for a 4 door daily.

Just wish mine was standard. Beautiful car!!

What is the colour or is it a wrap?

Great spec
