Almost anything in BMW's lineup sound better than the S55. Those things sound bad. The new M2 Competition is gonna sound a lot worse than the current M2.
I have also owned an E90 335i and E92 M3. Both sound better, I will agree but the driving experience is not comparable to a 335i and makes the E9x feel like a turtle
if you have unlimited budget yes, but for most people big part of daily-ability is how economical it is. this is expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, expensive to modify, expensive to insure, expensive to fill up with gas and finally when you go to sell it you realise it also depreciated like 50% in a few years you had it. so in the end you are better off leasing a new car as a daily and buying a used dedicated sportscar as an enthusiast toy
@darius2640 I got one with 35000 miles for less than 30. Spent less than 5000 in mods and it's 600 hp. Nothing has broken, insurance isn't that much more than my suv was and maintenance is the same as my old car.
I like Zack, and I'm glad they are still doing fan/custom/tuned cars. That said, Zack could use a touch more enthusiasm and project his voice a bit more. Sometimes it's hard to hear him. Matt is fun to watch because of how "into it" he is. The one take with the 600whp Evo is a perfect example. He's having a blast, and that is infectious. So speak up Zack! I feel like the only thing lacking is "stage presence" and that's an easy fix. Keep up the good work yall.
Your excitement/personality shines through ten fold compared to Zack. Granted, he hasn’t had any outlandish vehicles to experience yet. Maybe time will pull some more excitement out of him? Who knows. Either way, THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING ONE TAKES. Zack seems like a great dude, I think a little time & better vehicles, he’ll be close to on par with you for stage presence.

Dude. Everybody would be reserverd the first time somebody would tell you your job now is to drive other peoples cars who are probably proud of them. Let him get into the groove for the first 10-20 cars, judge then if you really need to.
Just bought this car today and I came here to vent my excitement. It's a total steal for less than 25 grand. Coilovers are almost a must I think. But I just need to say for the price this car is absolutely a blast. It's a killer motor. It really is.
I was shopping for an M235 used and tested a b58 equipped 340 and immediately bought an m240 because the engine is SO good. M perf exhaust and some bolt ons like this and bam car is a beautiful mix of daily drivability and sportiness/sleeper speed.
Zack is trying to be very analytical in these One Takes but he just needs to be himself. He is usually very funny. He also has great one liners that make me bust out laughing. One Take with One Liners.
The task is providing info while also looking for jokes (while driving fast and talking). But if there's no jokes said, I will die inside. Don't worry. - ZK
I am joining the club of happy people that accepted Zack as an replacement host. Really glad the series are continuing, one of my favorite ones for sure.
I dont like leased cars because as he said at 4:15 he cant spend a lot of money on it and then return it, so he is right, buying a car is so much better and you can do anything to it since its your car, and you dont have a specific time to give it back, thats why my 340i is bought not leased
Sport Mode tightens steering, changes/increases the throttle response, opens the exhaust valves (if you have the original BMW exhaust system) and if you have the adaptive suspension it tightens the suspension.
People who think leasing is a waste of money....you should do a little more research. First of all, bad leases are absolutely a waste of money. But for a 3 series..you can get into a 320i for about 300 a month with maintenance incl. A 340i....probably for 500-ish with 1k drive-off. So, let’s say 19k over 3 years. That sounds like a bad deal? Not really...a brand new 30k Accord is worth about 15k after 3 years. Not to mention paying for your own maintenance. Leasing is not good in every circumstance, but neither is buying. Especially so if you can write off the car for tax purposes.
YEEEEESSSS! been thinking zack needs (a lot) more camera time. I think handing one-takes off to him is an excellent way to keep the content flowing. also your previous-gen r8 v10 plus videos is one of my all-time favorites
I had a 2013 335i and did the JB4, catless downpipe, Intake and intercooler and ran E85 with it. Car was an absolute missle. Very fun sharp driving car. The luxury Supra.
nice video! really love how Zack has taken over the torch. i was skeptikal at first, but its awesome! This thing sounds better than a M3 somehow, impressive
Regular M2 uses a single turbo N55. M2 Competition uses a S55 twin turbo from the M3/M4 which sounds like ass. Idk why BMW stuffed the S55 in the M2 Competition. Maybe to all those whiners who said the M2 doesn't have an "M" engine? Who knows. I still think the M2 is the best car they sell today.
the overall production quality of the M2 isnt that great for the price. the interior is like a basic BMW, not so fancy like a M3/M4. Lets just hope the new Z4 is gonna be good :D
Great first video Zack, it's not an easy gig following Matt, but you did great. People give him some slack, Matt's done like a million one takes and has had loads of on screen experience. Zack will do great with some videos under his belt.
If you ever drive an F30 again and really want to get a feel for what the car can do, you need to press and hold TRACTION for 3 seconds until DSC OFF symbol comes on. That’s the best suspension setting IMO
the suspension firms up in sport+ and throttle response is quicker, but when you turn of traction as in the video it goes back to comfort. Stick to the left does shift more aggressively and at higher rpm so that's all you're seeing.
7:55 He said the B58 is the new Supra engine. He was right without even knowing it would have become the new Supra engine. Although I said the same thing 2 years ago.
Was on a canyon run with this car a couple days ago. Sounded great. Was in an M2 following and then leading. Hit me up if you want to do another drive again dude.
I own a 335i with the N54, and while I hear great things about the B58 -40i BMW's, I cannot say that these turbo motors make for good drivers cars. Among the other turbo vehicles out there today, I'll admit that the B58 or N55 are superior motors for driving cars, but among other vehicles in whole, an NA motor brings me so much more driving joy. Long live the older NA BMW's and Porsche's! \m/(oo)\m/
i tried looking for a 6sp for soooo long, ended up settling for an auto because of a good deal. still sad though, my thirst for a manual car still continues
I got a modded 328i but had a loaner 340i xdrive for a week and I'll tell ya it was a monster and it sounded great. I'd take a rwd 340i and throw a tune on it to offset the lack of xdrive grip, all the same hell of a vehicle.
The M performance edition AKA ZHP is something I'm looking for. You get so much with that package including the M power kit and M valved exhaust, bumping power up to 355 HP and 369 lb feet. New front side and rear aero, M adaptive suspension, and a whole bunch of other stuff. They're hard to find, but I think you can have it retrofitted at a BMW dealer.
Thanks for the vid! We have a 340i. The owner says "58 year-old driving their kids to school" what 58 year old is still driving their kids to school...lol
Nice job Zach. It's good you're not afraid to call BMW out for having all but lost their ultimate driving machine roots even In their smaller more sporty models such as this car. It's great the engine can be dialed up in HP relatively easily but it sucks the company who used to have the best steering is now inferior to a Kia Stinger. For those who want numb steering let them skip the sport package while those who want and pay for the sport package deserve much better.
I love how people are like "WHAT KIND OF IDIOT MODS A LEASED CAR!!" Matt Farah did...his Fiesta was leased and it was modded..It's not a big deal if you have everything to return it to stock. This guy has a piggy back tune that won't show up if he takes it to the dealer. I have an MK7 GTI. If I wanted to tune it without it showing up, I would go JB4, because it won't show up at the dealer. Just don't do anything that the dealer will know about.
Even with the tune removed, the dealer still be able to know (if they really dig into the stats, ask me how I know) the history since the boost level/statistic would pass the stock point in which itself prove that there was a tune. It doesnt matter if one do a piggy back or full ECU Flash, same thing to the dealer.
Wow I actually got scared when I heard this guy say good morning and didn't see Matt....was not expecting that.

Nice Beemer... All black, sleeper, great sound and refined... But a a lease? Meh... I prefer to own my own cars and not having to play a monthly fee for something I don't own, even if it is a significantly crappier one.
Ivan Jetá I agree I own a 2001 BMW 740il that I paid 2,000 dollars cash no lien holders I have my car title it's feels good to own a BMW that's paid for.
While I agree, because I own my e92 m3, fully paid for and everything, at the end of the day cash is king. The genius in financing and leasing is not committing such a huge sum of a money to a depreciating asset. Instead of putting 50k cash down on a car to out right buy it, more money can be made if you only put down a fraction and use the rest on other investments.
Owning a modern BMW is a bad financial move - they depreciate like bricks & tech fails shortly after warranty - if you want new you have to either lease or have cash to burn. If you are okay with second hand, learn how to repair/delete the tech garbage and save at least 50% of the MSRP.

I do understand the benefits of leasing a vehicle and I'm just expressing my personal opinion on it. For me, if I could, I wouldn't even have asked for a mortgage to buy a house. Buying a 50k vehicle to me sounds ridiculous, unless you're making serious money and can pay it outright, but even still if I had 50k I would probably invest in a second home and let/rent it out to someone. After the invest had paid itself, maybe then I would use the extra income to lease a vehicle... Another option would be to buy a 15k daily driver and invest the rest of it in an older version of a sports car that I like, Mustang, M3, Camaro, etc and invest some money in making it a proper street racer or even a track day machine. Like I said. It's just my opinion.
Normally I'd be inclined to agree but BMWFS subsidizes the crap out of their leases, they're surprisingly good deals. And as stated earlier, cars are depreciating assets, so unless you can go back in time and pick up a 1 series M coupe it's better to put as little cash toward a daily as possible.
He’s talking about the N55 (this engine’s predecessor) not the B58 regarding 800hp, stock bottom end etc. No one has cracked the BMW imposed fuelling limit on a B58 yet. Bigboost hit 600+hp with supplemental throttle-body-injection and are supposedly working on port injection. Once that’s in place or someone crack the ecu, those power numbers or more are definitely possible as it’s a super tough unit, closed deck design etc.
Limivorous1 N54 is the motor that handles 800hp stock, n55 was made with lighter internals, even N54’s are only safe around 600whp, they have held together at 750whp but would not last for years at that power level. N54 lore! Motor +++ everything around it - - -
So here's my two cents, firstly, It's good to see the one-takes continue. I guess it comes down to getting used to Zack, Matt is kind of over the top with his reactions and general presence, Zack is more muted in his presentation, but very knowledgeable. What I would say though, is the length of the video is a little much, it's in the 30 minute TV show category (minus adverts), I think sub 15 minutes is the sweet spot for the one takes.
The reason why you can feel so much with the Porsche is because it's so low to the ground, short wheel base, wide track base, and the tires are wide as shit all around.
He didn't want to do suspension work because the car is a lease, but all the other mods are ok? I wonder if he gets the car serviced at the dealer and how that goes. In any case, if the car is equipped with the adaptive M suspension from factory there aren't many better options unless you are looking to spend big $.
After having experienced e46, e90, and f30, I think the electric steering has potential. It's still stiff, and I actually think it's sharper in the center than the older steering racks. The only thing I wish is that there was more feel to go along with that clinical sharpness, and I also wish there was an option to use the "sport" steering in all of the modes
Modern "Supra Engine" (2jz) is definitely the N54 (2007-2010) as it has proven itself. However, I am interested to see the potential of the B58 in the oncoming years. Nevertheless, great one take!
I like the honesty here. I own the same car and my biggest complaint is the suspension, but I will be putting coilovers/better tires on soon, I've heard great response from using coilovers. Or maybe ill wait and just buy a used Z06 🤔
That Ace Ventura sunglasses flick tho. ALLRIGHTYTHEN!!!
Wondering if that'll be Zack's signature move. Matt had his turning radius...
Perfect comment
STEERINGS A LITTLE LOOSE
*SMASH*
COULD USE AN ALIGNMENT TOO
The B58 cars sound so much better than the M3/M4.
Michi Scholl sadly thats true
Im driving a n54 and prefer its sound as well
Same also goes for the 550i/m5. 550i sounds more muscular, compared to the m5 which sounds like a vacuum cleaner
krezo the n54 has a devilish brap to it almost. the n55 and the b58 have a more refined sound imo. I love hearing a modified n54 blasting though
Almost anything in BMW's lineup sound better than the S55. Those things sound bad. The new M2 Competition is gonna sound a lot worse than the current M2.
I have also owned an E90 335i and E92 M3. Both sound better, I will agree but the driving experience is not comparable to a 335i and makes the E9x feel like a turtle
Best sounding engine that BMW currently makes imo
The M3 & M4 sound way too crackly.
The B58 sounds like how an inline-6 should do
The ultimate daily.
Perfect blend of sport, luxury, practically all the while being very mod friendly & one hell of a sleeper.
if you have unlimited budget yes, but for most people big part of daily-ability is how economical it is. this is expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, expensive to modify, expensive to insure, expensive to fill up with gas and finally when you go to sell it you realise it also depreciated like 50% in a few years you had it. so in the end you are better off leasing a new car as a daily and buying a used dedicated sportscar as an enthusiast toy

I think his point was that they are easy to swap back out and sell/reuse once he's done with the lease. Although I do agree with you.

The N54/N55 and B58 will always sound better than the S55.

While I agree, because I own my e92 m3, fully paid for and everything, at the end of the day cash is king.
The genius in financing and leasing is not committing such a huge sum of a money to a depreciating asset. Instead of putting 50k cash down on a car to out right buy it, more money can be made if you only put down a fraction and use the rest on other investments.
Owning a modern BMW is a bad financial move - they depreciate like bricks & tech fails shortly after warranty - if you want new you have to either lease or have cash to burn. If you are okay with second hand, learn how to repair/delete the tech garbage and save at least 50% of the MSRP.
I do understand the benefits of leasing a vehicle and I'm just expressing my personal opinion on it. For me, if I could, I wouldn't even have asked for a mortgage to buy a house.
Buying a 50k vehicle to me sounds ridiculous, unless you're making serious money and can pay it outright, but even still if I had 50k I would probably invest in a second home and let/rent it out to someone. After the invest had paid itself, maybe then I would use the extra income to lease a vehicle...
Another option would be to buy a 15k daily driver and invest the rest of it in an older version of a sports car that I like, Mustang, M3, Camaro, etc and invest some money in making it a proper street racer or even a track day machine.
Like I said. It's just my opinion.
Normally I'd be inclined to agree but BMWFS subsidizes the crap out of their leases, they're surprisingly good deals. And as stated earlier, cars are depreciating assets, so unless you can go back in time and pick up a 1 series M coupe it's better to put as little cash toward a daily as possible.
He’s talking about the N55 (this engine’s predecessor) not the B58 regarding 800hp, stock bottom end etc. No one has cracked the BMW imposed fuelling limit on a B58 yet. Bigboost hit 600+hp with supplemental throttle-body-injection and are supposedly working on port injection. Once that’s in place or someone crack the ecu, those power numbers or more are definitely possible as it’s a super tough unit, closed deck design etc.
Limivorous1 N54 is the motor that handles 800hp stock, n55 was made with lighter internals, even N54’s are only safe around 600whp, they have held together at 750whp but would not last for years at that power level. N54 lore! Motor +++ everything around it - - -
Yeah sorry I meant N54 :)
So here's my two cents, firstly, It's good to see the one-takes continue. I guess it comes down to getting used to Zack, Matt is kind of over the top with his reactions and general presence, Zack is more muted in his presentation, but very knowledgeable. What I would say though, is the length of the video is a little much, it's in the 30 minute TV show category (minus adverts), I think sub 15 minutes is the sweet spot for the one takes.
The reason why you can feel so much with the Porsche is because it's so low to the ground, short wheel base, wide track base, and the tires are wide as shit all around.
Good first One Take, Zack!
I'll be getting this badboy soon BMW 340i 🇩🇪👍
Thanks for keeping these going.
He didn't want to do suspension work because the car is a lease, but all the other mods are ok? I wonder if he gets the car serviced at the dealer and how that goes. In any case, if the car is equipped with the adaptive M suspension from factory there aren't many better options unless you are looking to spend big $.
After having experienced e46, e90, and f30, I think the electric steering has potential. It's still stiff, and I actually think it's sharper in the center than the older steering racks. The only thing I wish is that there was more feel to go along with that clinical sharpness, and I also wish there was an option to use the "sport" steering in all of the modes
the steering is extremely direct and sharp. the only problem is the communication with the road.
Modern "Supra Engine" (2jz) is definitely the N54 (2007-2010) as it has proven itself. However, I am interested to see the potential of the B58 in the oncoming years. Nevertheless, great one take!
That thing seems pretty fast
Should do with 400 at the wheels.
I have this car too; it's pretty fast and a good sleeper
I like that the Zack one takes are a bit longer. Hopefully Zack doesn't get jaded too quick lol
good one Zach, keep them coming
No flex

Excellent start. Video is too long though for my personal tastes. I would say keep it between 10-13 min.
Batta Marwan it's a one take, the video ends when the conversation ends.
So stop watching at 10-13
Wow ur seriously going t suggest a time haha... selfish fucking people. Me me me. God damn
I like the honesty here. I own the same car and my biggest complaint is the suspension, but I will be putting coilovers/better tires on soon, I've heard great response from using coilovers. Or maybe ill wait and just buy a used Z06 🤔
A bunch of dudes praises the glorious manual gearboxes like it was THE hype.
Muricans for ya I guess.
