I've been talking about this race ever since I bought the F80 6 months ago. We were finally able to make it happen! Follow me on IG @alexmelniiik Thanks for watching!
It's testament to b58s how close it is to a stage 2 m3. You can see it how it dies up top, maybe it's capped on stage 1 to account for cats etc but would be great to see stg 2 so it can push the exhaust upgrades and all.
lol that was a testament to the S55, not the B58... that 340 was walked bad lol... how much worse would it need to have been walked for the b58 to not qualify as a "testament"... lmao!
@@Andy-bm6zoYou do realize the M340i comes with a baby turbo that doesn’t flow nearly as much as the twins in the S55? Put the same turbo on both cars, and it’s B58 all day.
I have F82 with Stage 2, no hardware mods only tune making mid 500s. M340i, how much you need to spend to make mid 500s? And it still doesn't have M suspension which is huge when driving fast and around the canyons.
Why is it fake M poster ? What’s wrong with M340i ? Is Audi S4 fake RS ? Or c43 AMG fake c63 ……. These are less sportier versions for less money , not everyone can spend the money for the full blown version from their line up ☝️
hey man, i'm building a static s2k and was wondering what spring rates are you running? i would like to have the max stiffness needed to not clap my fenders before the ride gets unbearable, would appreciate ur insight since i'm assuming ur s2k is static!! thx man
@@AlexMelnikthank you brother!! do you think if i went 30 k’s front and rear it would make ride quality worse?? what’s the reason for you running different rates front and rear??
No digs is crazy. But the m340 is pretty average unless you have xdrive. Stock rwd m340 loses to stock 392 scat (just barely) but still. Would love to see some digs with xdrive model.
A stock M340i will beat a stock scat pack hands down. I tried it multiple times on mine. Now I’m stage 2 e50 and I’m beating hellcats from rolls, I’m xDrive so from a dig is just a waste of gas since they can’t even keep up on rolls.
Stage 1 M340? Missing out on a lot of easy power, not sure why he wouldn't go Stage 2. Would be interesting to see a rerun with the M340 Stage 2 ECU and Stage 2 or 3 XHP. Should be a bit closer then...
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking. Just do a stage 2 tune on it, he has the mods required for it. Technically the car should be on a stage 2 tune. Also, he should get XHP stage 3 to remove torque limiters and shift even quicker.
A stage 2 tune on the M340i will really wake it up. Please do a rematch when he does. Bonus points would be an xhp stage 3 trans tune on the M340i as well!
@@Danbimmerfan yea thats what im leaning towards too just more for the handling n a 6mt. Also dont care to be the fastest on the road f8x just seems way more fun to drive honestly
@@Danbimmerfan its faster mod for mod but also more expensive mod for mod so go with what you can afford cause theres more options in 340 for less or less option in m3 for more.
@stockaf30 yeah true I do think b58 makes more sense to build for high hp applications especially for price difference, f80s imo are best left on stock twins plenty of juice and enjoy the twisties
F8X platform absolutely clears the M Three Hundred and Forty i (lol) stock for stock mod for mod. If you can afford it, go for a clean F8X series post LCI with competition pack. Suspension is adjustable and I love mine. Don't let the broke and delusional B58 kids fool you.
@@mistrkawz I bought an F80 Competition and returned it very quickly. The road noise is absolutely awful here in crappy UK roads. The lack of noise insulation along with those massive 20 inch wheels on low profile tyres plus the wheels being bolted directly on the subframe is annoying unless you're going on a spirited drive. I couldn't daily this car. If you're going to buy a weekend car you might as well buy a Caymen.
I raced my friends f80 M3 Comp in my stock M340i xDrive and it was extremely close. We did multiple rolls and a dig. He couldn’t keep up in the dig.. But anyways, from a roll he got me by about half a car to 1 full car up top, from about 30-140.
B58 is a great engine, but unless you get upgraded turbo's, it's not touching a stage 2 S55.
Cap
Stick to Mopar B, you know nothing about BMW’s Son!
@@franklinwatson7767hes not wrong at all😂 dont need turbos to beat a stage 2 s55
@@andreb9597 Okay.
You mean turbo*
Nice video!
Definitely need a rematch once he does stage 2 tune.
Would make it very very interesting.
Thanks! We’ll have to redo it someday 🙌
where did you get the background music from for this vid? some fire tunes

We need to see a rematch both on a stage 2 tune.

what wheels on the m340? Awesome car, definitely love the styling more on the f80 but that blue hits differently
Wish I was Alex's wife. Im trying to be rolling in a f80 m3 as my daily
Ayooo 😂😂
Huge American flag in “Mexico” 😂
what is a stage 1.5?
I have F82 with Stage 2, no hardware mods only tune making mid 500s. M340i, how much you need to spend to make mid 500s? And it still doesn't have M suspension which is huge when driving fast and around the canyons.
I only spend 800 for stage 2 FBO e50
Mid 500s with no hardware? Crazy
@@AlexMelnik thank you 🙏 Alex
@@AlexMelnik not crazy...BMW M stock hardware can handle way more than more people give it credit for.
you need hardware for stage 2. downpipes minimum.
I’d never take a fake M poster over a real M. S55/s58 all day
Make sure the crank hub is good
100% M car > NPC car
Why is it fake M poster ? What’s wrong with M340i ? Is Audi S4 fake RS ? Or c43 AMG fake c63 ……. These are less sportier versions for less money , not everyone can spend the money for the full blown version from their line up ☝️
these are very different cars. M340 is daily with power and thousands of dollars cheaper.
The F and G Ms are track focused cars with less mpg.
@@jawadalla11 with less MPG ? You don’t buy a high performance car for better mpg 😂
hey man, i'm building a static s2k and was wondering what spring rates are you running? i would like to have the max stiffness needed to not clap my fenders before the ride gets unbearable, would appreciate ur insight since i'm assuming ur s2k is static!! thx man
Hey dude - 24k and 20k swift springs on fortune auto coilovers.
@@AlexMelnikthank you brother!! do you think if i went 30 k’s front and rear it would make ride quality worse?? what’s the reason for you running different rates front and rear??
@@bisooyeong Weight Distritbution is why you run different spring rates on front and rear

I got rwd because I have my 4x4 truck for bad weather. I have absolutely wrecked every single thing Mopar has outside of the Hellcat lineup.
M gang 💪💪💪
Filmed in mexico 🇲🇽😈
s55 >
But not better than s58 tho which is the engine it should be compared to
B58 FTW. Sounds better, responds to mods better, handles power better, makes better low end power, and it’s the only BMW in the 7s.
M3 better gearing
What camera you using?
That M-poster needs some fortified vitamins. Sell it and buy a grown up M, bro.
Go cry in the corner, S55 ain’t breaking records. I don’t think it’s even in the 8s yet. B58 is in the only BMW in the 7s…
@@Eddy-09 LMAO! I’m crying? The video is right there my guy. It’s ok, one day you’ll grow up to own a real M car.
Automatic. So where is the fun coming? Just step on the gas as hard as you can…
That’s not competition m3
Did I say it was?
His f80 being a comp would have no difference on this race lol
@@Danbimmerfanat all literally
With a passenger 😂 s55 gang🤙🏽
Well it is about 300lbs lighter lol. Even with a passenger the m3 is pushing around less weight
Stage 1 M340? Missing out on a lot of easy power, not sure why he wouldn't go Stage 2.
Would be interesting to see a rerun with the M340 Stage 2 ECU and Stage 2 or 3 XHP. Should be a bit closer then...
We’ll re run it someday if he goes stage 2!
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking. Just do a stage 2 tune on it, he has the mods required for it. Technically the car should be on a stage 2 tune. Also, he should get XHP stage 3 to remove torque limiters and shift even quicker.
@@AlexMelnikhas he done a stage 2 tune yet? He desperately needs to, would make it much closer. Specially if it also got the xhp stage 3 tune.
I'd day he had the stage 1 map then done the karts for stage 2 but hasn't done the map yet
@@AlexMelnik is the rerun happening anytime soon?
A stage 2 tune on the M340i will really wake it up. Please do a rematch when he does. Bonus points would be an xhp stage 3 trans tune on the M340i as well!
eddie wanted all the smoke
Damn we need go see yall run it both stage 2 the two cars im debating on buying i love both
short answer get an m3 you would regret an m340i, despite what the b58 clan echo chamber says s55 is always faster mod for mod
@@Danbimmerfan yea thats what im leaning towards too just more for the handling n a 6mt. Also dont care to be the fastest on the road f8x just seems way more fun to drive honestly
@@Danbimmerfan its faster mod for mod but also more expensive mod for mod so go with what you can afford cause theres more options in 340 for less or less option in m3 for more.
@stockaf30 yeah true I do think b58 makes more sense to build for high hp applications especially for price difference, f80s imo are best left on stock twins plenty of juice and enjoy the twisties
@@Danbimmerfan exhaust, wheels, and suspensions about all you need for an f80. Great car from factory.
what makes the rainbow reflection on the windshield in the F80 please ?
New sub!
🤝
M340 needs a real tune
That m340i needs stage 2+ e40 tune 😪🥲
AND an XHP transmission tune 👁️🫦👁️
@@isaiah.villarreal I have all that
@@socalecos550are you the owner of the M340i in the video?
@@Eddy-09 yes 🙌 Mr. Eddy, how may I help you?
@@socalecos550 have you been able to do a stage 2 tune? Is your downpipe catless? Any rematch coming soon?
One of these two is going to be my next car. How is the M3 as a daily? Is the suspension as bad as people report or is it fine?
Go m340i bro trust me💯you legit get sooo much all in one fuckin car bro😭it’s the perfect car especially when tuned??? Tssss
F8X platform absolutely clears the M Three Hundred and Forty i (lol) stock for stock mod for mod. If you can afford it, go for a clean F8X series post LCI with competition pack. Suspension is adjustable and I love mine. Don't let the broke and delusional B58 kids fool you.

@@KieoryyI second this, I was in the market for both and went with the M340i and am really glad I did. It’s the perfect car.
@@mistrkawza used F80 is around the same price as a G20.... 😂
340 never had a chance 😐
Twinning #m340
Stock for stock b58 keeping up
delusion
Wtf are you talking about lol. Stock for stock??! So a m4 comp 444hp is equivalent to a 382 hp m340?! Go to sleep please...
@@N8_Tha_GR8_1horse power doesn’t mean shit😭 so what you’re saying is irrelevant
@@HennyMePls Carwow done a race between M440i, RWD G82 and F82. From a dig and roll race. In the wet. Guess how the B58 performed 🤣
I raced my friends f80 M3 Comp in my stock M340i xDrive and it was extremely close. We did multiple rolls and a dig. He couldn’t keep up in the dig.. But anyways, from a roll he got me by about half a car to 1 full car up top, from about 30-140.
Should have tried from a dig too
Woulda been cool. Next time hahah
The x drive of the m340i would give it a big advantage
