I've said it once and I'll say it again. You have a good life Misha. Anytime you have people throwing their cars at you wanting you to take them for a lap in their car can't be half bad. Great video as always.
Given that he himself said he wouldn't let anyone drive his car, it's not surprizing he'd get _a bit worried_ with someone else driving it at high speed on a race track... but he did crack a smile here and there, when he was sure the car will survive the corner or bump 😂
@@grimmig13 Yeah, for me that's just a face from who doesnt have much confidence with others driving his cars to the limits, but it was misha, saw that he always got control even if the car doesnt wanna to and his face getting relaxed every min he drive
Could clearly see how proud was "German Post Malone" on initial acceleration on the start of the track :DDD P.S.: Fantastic setup, car is clearly fast and responsive
Incredible seeing the same car as mine with similar power even, mine is about at 500 hp now. Jeez my suspension setup is what needs to be dialed in now too. This is something to see fr
Comrade Misha, maybe you mentioned it in one of your videos: About how long does it take to get to the level that you get into someone else car and drive it like that around the ring? 1000 laps? 3 years? How long?
Wicked cool lap Misha! At the 06:20 mark you said birds and it made me realize that the loud exhaust noises actually protect the wildlife with a warning to get out the way. I used to work at a place that was out on some crown land and out of the 50 plus workers there in 5 yrs I was the only one that hadn't hit a deer. I can not for sure say that was only driving skill, but a loud AF car stereo system probably helped the most, they would hear it over a mile away and move. Most people will push and hold the horn on steady, I find this has the opposite desired effect, if you rapidly pulse the horn off and on it's like they can tell you are getting closer and tend to move away quickly. I wonder if EV's have more than their fair share of deer or wildlife strikes because they are almost silent?
I see deers maybe twice a week on my commute. See dead ones often and only ever had 1 cross in front of me. I see they actively avoid my LED headlights, backing away rather than getting stuck staring like they do with lamps.
Fun fact: Only the 1 and 2 series (m140i and m240i) in the previous generation was an m performance amongst the 1 to 4 series lineup. This meant they have ~15kw more than the 440i and 340i.
And the other fun fact that you didn't mention was the 340i and 440i both had the options for the M Performance power and sound kit which bumped power to 265kw / 500nm through a tune and valved exhaust (similar to the M3/M4 cars)
@@Scrytheux Definitely was available in the EU although not sure if there were any specific countries excluded. I need to clarify that it wasn't a factory option but a dealer installed accessory
Love the B58 engine, but I don't think I could live with an open differential and that exhaust note on the car. Great driving, and I enjoyed the struggle of the open diff life driving style
Always blows my mind the number of big money, big power builds people do without getting the absolute basics like suspension and alignment set up first. Great car with great potential, but as ever, track time first, get everything dialled in, then power last *if* you find you need it…
@@Soarin8or to max power first and then break something very quickly - all these platforms have their issues and although some may take 400+ hp all day long on the road, but on track it’s a different thing.
Not sure if that's just the camera sound pick-up, but.. As a B58 owner myself, I find those burbles way too obnoxious.. Don't understand people who think it's 'cool'.. 🤷♂️🙄
I'd love to know how he has the lift off cracks/farts? I have a 440i with BM3 and when I lift off the accelerator there is no anti lag type sounds like he has? It's just silent and then followed by the usual pops and bangs

@@SeanSer where he enters the track its pretty flat . When i saw the needle move i noticed it was a bit slow for 500bhp . Even on a hot day mhd stage 2 hpfp on e40 should get you below 9 seconds. A m140 does it on a warm day just above 7 seconds
It did seem off from 500, especially if this is supposed to be whp. Even 500 crank seems way too much. These tuning shop are so often full of bs when selling their tuning products and then blaming the poor dyno,wrong gear,not optimized for 4wd, humidity/temp., unknown 35% loses,... anytime you get a car tuned you take it to a dyno in next town over to verify
@@thomasvennekens4137 Won't happen. If you bring your B58 to the track and drive it a few laps, you would be shocked how much timing it's pulling. I had 3 B58 cars and lapped the Ring a lot. The cars are pulling timing sometimes with better fuel than it's mapped for on a cold day. I can guarantee, that it will pull lots of timing on the track, sometimes even close to knocking events. That's why it will never be that fast from 100-200. Also you don't know which fuel it was running, most people run 98 octane from closest petrol station because they don't know about Aral in Breidscheid or want to drive there. And it pulls even more timing with 98 octane on the track, even if it's mapped for it.
@@vinniw.3848 it was at the start when he passed the cones so the extra laps you are talking about arent relevant . I know once the iat's rise because of the soaked IC system your power will drop . The mhd stage 2 hpfp map has two options either 95oct or E40 . That latter one generated 495 whp with stock turbo . And zero timing pull . Ive also beta tested a 93oct map for stage 2 hpfp . But that wasnt any faster compared to.a normal stage2 because of pulled timing . They also ran on sport+ so the fuel map isnt completly free , you have to use dsc off for that .
I think that’s what’s referred to as marketing, having had the 330d and now a 340i I can vouch for this sensation. You have to be really committed to make it work with an open diff, come off that point to soon and you make for the ditch! Really hoping an lsd is going to make the car….before going stage 2

Exactly, all upgrades are good, just the LSD and it's perfect. Also in my opinion the F30 looks waaay better than the Gthing (i think it's the G30) and for sure looks better than the G80.
"E-LSD" is what bmw calls their open differentials. They use the rear brakes to try and mimic an lsd, but its only active with traction fully disabled, and it doesnt work very well.

Thought about your 340i when I saw this video title 🏎️
We saw him some weeks ago for the first Time at the ED and thought he is a mafia oder Rocker Boss 😅
What adapter did he use to mount the f80 discs?

I love that the auto generated captions say [MUSIC] whenever Misha is hitting the full bore upshifts and downshifts 👌 that sounded phenomenal 🎶
Talked to this guy today at ED, very nice dude and cool car.
Owner says he "has never let anyone drive his car"...then Misha on track. This is the way. Fun to watch!
Love the car even exhaust set up, owner is a cool guy
Misha you drove the nuts off of it! Best ring video ive seen in a while.
I'd take an open differential front midship over transverse AWD every time. Fun lap
Sounds insane 🔥🔥
Thing sounds really nice for a modern car. Love the B58 in general, must pull way harder on 500hp than the 340hp version I drove though😅
To me that is a pretty fast car. You drove that thing well. The owner seemed a bit worried but he was vibing for the most part.
I like the 340i its a great car with great engine but the first thing I would upgrade is the diff.
He looked a bit scared. 😂 Nice lap considering the suspension set up.
That's exactly what I thought 🙂
actually I think he was really relaxed during all the lap
Given that he himself said he wouldn't let anyone drive his car, it's not surprizing he'd get _a bit worried_ with someone else driving it at high speed on a race track... but he did crack a smile here and there, when he was sure the car will survive the corner or bump 😂

The diff is fuct up lol
Also, what nice guy.

Interesting and convenient how tame it sounds until 4,500, then it suddenly sounds like a proper race car.
Badass motor..Full power✊
Nice car, a proper sleeper. Just needs setting up, and it'll handle as well as it goes.
Love the old school speedo (i meant not digital)
Out of all the B58 powered vehicles you have lapped which one was the most exciting to drive ?
Last year's M140 xDrive. It was properly track-prepped!
Misha have you driven the g20 m340i on the ring ?
This guy looked terrified most of the drive :D

Should have the virtual software lsd? So with all TC off it shouldnt one wheel spin much unless the rear brakes are overheating?
I really liked the sound.

Maybe my favourite viewers car in the channel
Can someone tell me the difference between, normal/open and limitied/closed diff
5:29 what is causing that noise? It's like a purr in between shifts and when you release the throttle?
I'm amazed you can tell 1 of the suspension parts is longer just from how it behaves under braking 😮
As the weight balance is out, and that will be corrected by adjusting the ride height per corner.
Good video

You can upgrade the diff easily
The MPPSK package he said he had installed is a valved exhaust system, with the valves closed it's fairly understated
