    Next year - after leaving the warranty period - the 1st thing is to send the DME to FemTo to unlock it. Then MHD Stage 2 can come... But you've forgot to tell in your vid, that it's recommended to change the downpipe to a 200 or 300 cell version (which I did - HJS DP) at Stage 2. I also changed the oilcooler to one from Wagner tuning to not having problems on the race track temperaturwise.
    And one optical tip (and maybe it's also a good idea for high speed runs) to Martijn: please assemble the M-Performance real wing - it looks amazing!

    Great comparison, thanks for doing it. Some things the M3 has that you cannot get on the M340i are; ceramic brakes, laser lights, carbon seats. But, even without those options, the M340i is still a lot cheaper. Best of both worlds: Alpina B3 Touring with the S58 engine…? Please do the same test with a M3 Touring vs an Alpina B3 Touring!

    Glad I’m not only one who hates those gauge graphics, it’s an absolute disaster, and even worse in a manual rev’ing car out on a triangle rev counter. Even the monotone nav display in cluster is just a weird design decision. I’d love to do a b3 touring build but having to look at that cluster is the barrier to entry

    The front bumper on the m3 can now be replaced with a aftermarket ADRO kit which easily makes the front end looking 10x more aggressive compared to stock. Only downside is that the upgrade requires additional 3-4k.

    • @BinaryBlueBull
      @BinaryBlueBull 10 місяців тому +1

      Wow, that does look very, very good. Reminds me a bit of that limited production BMW 3.0 CSL front end, which I always felt was what the M3/M4 should have been like. I assume it doesn't affect the cooling? I heard a BMW engineer explain at some point that they had to do those huge nostrils on the M3/M4 because they couldn't get enough cooling intake through that traditional kidney grille openings. I see that ADRO kit has a bit smaller grille openings than stock but not by all that much, so I assume it's fine?

    BMW charges a lot more for M3 for what is so little difference against a tuned M340i. Also, I don't like the fake air vents in the front guards- why put them there when serving no function and detract from the smooth lines? Most obvious interior change is the piped engine noise which is absolutely terrible.
