M340i has the updated b58 with more cooling jackets. It also gets a better fuel pump and slightly bigger turbo. A stage 2 m340i would make more power. It's literally different lol

The 3 series in this video is not an M340i, it's an F30 generation and is simply known as the 340i (no M). It replaced the 335i at the LCI in 2015. An actual stock M340i (G20 generation) vs an i4 M50 would be a good race.

You made a mistake in 2018 BMW did not make the M340 , it’s the 340. M340 come out in 2020. The 340 was made from 2016 to 2018 which has the first generation b58.
Both tuned and modified, yes, but the gaps may not be as gappy at BMW fans would hope. I do think the modified B58 takes it nonetheless. Lighter and the engine is a bit more stout than the VR30.
@@CheatCodeG80 i need an honest opinion from a vr guy like u, i see u do alot of racing, would u say that the b58 is better to get over the vr30? im in the market for a vehicle right now,
@@shameerhussain5380 Yes it’s the better option. More reliable, and the ZF8 transmission is better than the JATCO 7 speed. The B58 is also more refined as it is an inline 6 versus a V6 configuration. I also had to spend a lot of money to get my car to where it is at the moment but you don’t need much to make a B58 quick. Another thing is that swapping a upgraded turbo into a B58 is much easier whereas for the VR30 you need to drop the motor. All in all, I’ve had a VR30 for over 5 years and it’s been great. Hurt alot of feelings but I’d choose a B58 if I had to start all over again, it’s like it was purpose built for racing. Also if you plan on staying stock turbo, the VR30 makes more power. That would be the only advantage.
@@shameerhussain5380 Also I have raced and beat many B58s but none of them have been purpose built for the straight line like mine. If the same amount of time, effort and resources were put into a B58, it would come out on top every single time.
Nice contest Sam. I’ve drive the M340i a few times and just recently drive the i4 M50. Both are beasts of two very different natures. Honestly, I found the i4 to be much faster than a stock M340i.
