Why Everyone Wants A BMW F30 340i... Me Included

- I've been getting non stop requests to purchase a BMW that comes equipped with the B58 Engine. It seems to be the engine that has all the hype right now especially the one that comes packaged with the 340i. Here's the thing, I want to buy an F30 but was leaning towards the N55 variant 335i because I felt it made more sense for me and my audience. Well, my mindset might have changed after driving and reviewing @SwapDepot tuned F30 340i. In this video I explain why.

I’ve wanted the f30 since I was 16 and back then I was gonna settle for a 328i. I’m glad I never got it. Now it’s 2022 and I got certified pre-owneda fully optioned out 2018 340i M Sport with 22k miles. I’m only 23 and I’m proud of myself, I finally got the car I’ve always wanted all on my own. This car is truly amazing.
I’m in your shoes right now brother currently abt to turn 18, and doing software engineering bootcamp ima graduate on February and hopefully land a job near March at google, or Facebook, first thing ima do with my first paycheck is finance this beast or I can save up my money for 3 months to earn 35k idk let’s see.
@@Badasmovies I’m happy for you man, I’m glad you got your goals set on a career at such a young age, if I could I could do it over just like you. Your head is in the right place. If you end up getting the f30 340i you won’t be disappointed, it’s still a daily dream come true, every time I step in it and drive it it feels unreal. It’s super smooth and it can also be really aggressive in sport+. You can’t go wrong with the f30 b58, but if I were you I’d look into the g20 340i. It looks clean but I still don’t think it looks better than the f30. I’m not sure if I’d make the switch but it wouldn’t hurt you to check out both of these machines.

@@balenciimusic yeah thank you bro, same thoughts here I wanted to stArt my carreer path early to catch on. And yeah couldn’t agree more f30 just looks mean asf and it’s such lightweight and the handling is absolutely perfect, my buddy has one and drove it and fell in love, never had chance to check out the g20 m340i but deff will I think it runs s58 engine but those cars ain’t cheap lol so ig after getting job ima start off slow maybe look into the m340i test drive it
@@balenciimusic any mods you got on your f30?
Bought a ‘16 340i with 6mt about a year and a half ago. By far my favorite car I’ve ever driven. Puts a smile on my face every time. And being a manual transmission with B58, has appreciated quite a bit already. It’s the last non-M car 3 series to have a 6 speed. I plan on keeping it forever.
Did you buy from bmw dealer or a used car dealer ? I’m interested in buying a 6speed
Got super lucky and found an awesome deal private party, but across the country. Had it shipped from AZ to MA.
@@tristanbezzant7240 You definitely have a gem! Good stuff 🙏🏼
@Loe Chronicles looks better
@Loe Chronicles The engine in f30 340i is slightly up tuned comparing with that in 240i. Also, you cannot get much weight reduction from losing those 2 doors. The difference is smaller than 50 lbs.
The BMW 340i is such a cool car so much mods that can be done to the car, plus the 340i stock horse power figures is pretty impressive and the car is fast even tho the car is stock which is mesmerising. all in all great car and i applause BMW for making this car it really is a drive machine. imo.
How much is the price range?
@@rumble8014 depending mileage and package a fully loaded msport dealership 30k miles 42,000 60k miles 36,000 from what I’ve seen it’s cheaper if you find one from offer up or Facebook around the area you just have to make sure it hasn’t been abused and neglected lol
320 hp aint that much honestly
@@Freshest13 yes it is for stock horsepower
Go race a stock 335 or 340i & tell me it isn’t that much. Those cars walk most cars you see on the road everyday. Civic type r? Smoked, Subaru sti? Smoked.
I love my ‘15 F30 N55. I got it in 2018 and still own it now with little to no problems whatsoever *knock on wood*. At the time it was extremely hard finding a 340i and now I’m sure it still is now… I’d get whatever is more accessible to your audience as a safe bet and try the 340i later on.
I have the 440i and man, you can’t go wrong with the f3X platform with the b58 engine!
Your channel just blew up!! My man!!! Quality content with impeccable narrating keep up the great work man!! 🤙
Thank you 🙏🏼
id think the 340 i been watching your n54 builds even before i got mine and watching you go through everything made me understand what im getting into
Looking to upgrade from my six speed WRX into one of these. It’s seems like these B58s have everything: speed, luxury, comfort, and looks!
I was just thinking about this the other day! Thanks for the video!
This is why I'm considering the 40i models as my next project... this engine.
There is a few differences between the pre Lci f30 and lci f30. Headlights are redesigned (front and rear) a few different tweaks on the inside. And 340i drives better and smoother. Got a 2018 340i on coilovers. Amazing car. Don’t regret a single bit buying it
Another great video. I agree with your driving impressions, especially cruising at highway speeds. I've been very satisfied with my 2018 340I xDrive equipped with MPPSK and Track Handling. Conservative-looking, yet fun, daily driver.
Did the mppsk came with it when you bought from dealer or owner?
Happy new year 👍 got my 330d f31! Here um my country,Portugal 🇵🇹 diesel are cheeper than regular petrol! These F models R very refine, Butter smoth! Year ago was into the 425d but i thank God i went other way round!! Best of BMW,F30/31! Big hug for u man stay safe!
Just bought a '16 340i myself, and I can confidently say its a car that will continue to impress you. Even stock its a great driving vehicle.
How fast is it stock?
This car is absolutely amazing! I had the pleasure of being able to track it a small event and it was a hell of an experience. The 382hp is perfectly balanced throughout the power and the car wants more. I can only imagine driving it all the bolt ons and nice tune. Straight rocket 🚀
The F30 340i came from the factory with 320hp. The G20 M340i is the one with 382hp that came out in 2019.

@@bitcoochie4093 I’m well aware the engine is underrated, I was just stating the advertised power output and correcting the OP that the car on the video is not the M340i with 382hp.
@@bitcoochie4093 its rated 325 at the crank.
2018 340i MPPSK RWD.
God this car is just the best car I’ve owned in my means. I had a B8.5 S4 prior and that car was fast but never handled the best, the F30 had a great chassis (could use more steering feel but the chassis is competent and controllable even for a RWD novice like myself, you can tell it shares a lot of Supra DNA) and the brakes are very strong and the engine/transmission combo are chef’s kiss. I am just stage 1 93 with Sutphin transmission tune atm but DP and TU pump on my work bench… great sleeper for someone who needs a family car to do double duty.
Same thing in the uk but with the m140i, people going crazy with them over here!
Loved the experienced been through this car since 2016 brand new. Never disappointed.
I reallyyyyyy want a B58. It would be so cool to see you do an F30 build. I’d vote the b58 and you modify the engine rather than doing an exterior build
No need to emphasize b58, 340s only come with b58's
@@hexagonosaurus5848 What I meant was I want a 340 or a b58 equally as much. I probably know more about BMW than you do, haha. I understand which vehicles got which engine variants, LCI, pre lci, etc.

2 years with my 16 340i xDrive and loving it
I drove a 2015 335 M Sport Manual with Dinan upgrades for 180,000 miles. Reliable and a blast to drive. The interior looked flawless the day I sold it. It was my daily driver and I even let my 6 kids eat in it... granted we took the minivan when we weren't going in multiple directions.
That’s what I have and I’m at 100k... stage 2+ and she’s running good
@@thesharpshootersfl yup. I loved that car. But I was having back problems (almost 50 YO, 6 ft 3 and 235 lbs) and the kids and their friends are too big to cram in the back. So I got a 2018 740 M Sport. No more manual tranny but i love the space and comfort and the 7 is still surprisingly fun to drive.
Dude is about to be the second guy to raise the prices on the used market 😩😂
For sure have to get a 340i once it depreciates a little more, I'm tired of the love and hate relationship I have towards the N54 😂
I just happened to get my BMW CPO 2017 340i RWD M Sport w/ 38k miles at the beginning of March 2020 miles for $27K only bc my wife couldn't drive my other car, a 2018 6 speed MK7.5 GTI. Best decision I ever made and so glad I snagged it before COVID/insane car market hit. MPPSK is on my to-do list, can't wait!
Wow we just traded our 17 33k mile mppsk/track rwd for 34k. Prices have really gone up!
Because of you I modded my 335 I and I love it, and I also flipped out and for the hell of it bought an E 90 M3 which is cooler than cool can be
I have a 14 F30 335i msport, with stage 2+ it runs pretty good, stock exhaust is quite inside needs an electric cut out, I didn't do a CAI just a drop in filter. Burbles are on medium, and I wish they were more. But I prefer more wild and loud.
loving the content man fr
Get F30 n55 2014+ ewg n55. Msport and adaptive m suspension is a must. I love my f30, it’s a great dual personality car. My dd and weekend car.
The F chassis and above is so funny to me with the options because its almost like they just looked at the most popular aftermarket bolt ons and started offering them in the m-performance/sport. Same thing with the new mercedes
Nice
Still got a lot of love for my 335is (e92 and n54 ) with dct, and now brembos, koni , and Mfactory LSD
:-D
Go B58. I haven't modded yet . 2017 340i Xi just learned about launch mode. Had it almost 3years
Finally a F30 340i on the channel. Nice!
grabbed a manual m240i earlier this year just threw a tune and intake on things a beast
Had the 340 mppsk 6mt for 3 years. Really nice car.
I vote for the B58. I give my 335i f31 away and now look to buy an B58, maybe the f36. Greets from Switzerland.
Bought my 2016 340i M-Sport in 2017 with only 11k miles on it...got it for a hell of a deal at $38k (sticker new $55k) just one year old, and now I have 55k miles on it. Dark Gray over Red, really sharp and subtly sporty. I love it, it's easily one of the best cars I've ever owned. I haven't modded the drivetrain but am thinking about it, now that it's out of warranty. I occasionally have eyes for other cars, but really I don't know what else I'd want in a daily driver.
I️ managed to pick up a CPO 18' 340i for 35k last summer, had 19k on the odometer
That’s the exact color combo im looking for, lmk if you’re selling.
Got me one this week!
missin my *16 340i, picked up 2 yrs ago , Black with Saddle Brown interior 25k miles for 32k total, got involved in accident 3 months ago( hit by 15 yr old who had no drive experience driving in the busy city traffic, got paid 31,800. ,2016 still going for 33-36k on market, had tune(downpipe/catback exhaust were on the way) had bilstein B16 coils, micheline PS4s, CF spoiler& diffuser, Stoptech slotted rotors/brake pads, lug stud+ spacer(liked stock 403m wheel)
And for all of the criticism on the interior due to plastic, if it was optioned a different way it would’ve had the same extended leather as in an M3
Gotta love the 340i amazing whip.. I currently have the 14 328i shit is amazing
Bought my '15 335i M Sport over a 340i years ago. At the time I wasn't sure how reliable the B58 would be when it was new so I decided to pick the 2015 instead. That said I don't regret my decision. It has over 122k miles on it now with no big issues and its been seriously driven hard daily even through beaches and tornados (wish I was joking). Amazing and fun daily car and the N55 makes a tad better sound in my opinion. I still smile the same way as the day i bought it.
that's a pretty stupid statement coming from a BMW fan, why would you choose a mechanically inferior version of the drivetrain, love all these youtube warriors thinking their opinion is better then a BMW Mechanical Engineer.
@@IEATU95 Well thats just an unnecessary rude comment. New iterations can have problems and the N55 had been around a long time. At that time it was a better choice for reliability being my first car. I'll flip that on you... Why did you choose a 328i instead of a 335i/340i? That's pretty inferior isn't it?
Mine 15, 335i has been bulletproof as well, mine has quite a lot of interior squeaks and rattles tho and some of the plastic parts seem to get absolutely demolished by the heat/sun. I miss the quality of my B8 S4 but the dynamics of the F30 are much better.
@@IEATU95 you’re not a real bmw fan because if you was, you’d respect every bmw. I’m just saying. Doesn’t matter which engine you decide to get. You can make more than enough power on a n55 for a daily
B58>
U can keep it. E92 on coils is the sexiest
1stockf30 is a contributing factor to why a lot of people want this car now
I have a bmw active hybrid 3 fully loaded in my collection and it slaps. Very good car worth the google slightly modded tho. One of our family sedans we use mainly with the kids. Nothing stays stock though.
Hybrid ew
Everything except a manual transmission. I had an e90 chipped with double air intake cones.. I replaced the head unit to have apple car play and everything you could ever want.. two shallow 8 inch speakers under the seats, two 10s in the back.. it was my baby.. did everything myself because I was poor after buying it and for a girl it was a lot. It was my favorite car in the world and I should have saved it. It was purchased from me within 1 day and they drove from another state for the manual and it had 99,000 miles on it but was like new. Carbs cleaned… new shocks. Such a sexy beast but have been so disappointed with bmw for taking manuals away that I won’t buy one for a long while.:(
Nice video. I have a 2016 F30 340i and am considering the BMS JB4 (CA legal) tuner upgrade. Do you know anything about it and would you recommend it? It seems like a good value in terms of dollar per horsepower/torque gains. Thanks.
I done 70000 miles in an M140i and NEVER wasn't excited, exhilarated or happy driving it, such an incredible, effortless engine. It scalped a few quick cars too.
I sold it to fund property but life ain't the same without a B58... 340i is next as I can't move on 😀
Agree looking to lease a 340i , the 140i is a weapon
2013 335i Daily almost no issues surprisingly.
These are so dope. And the auto's on the newer cars are SOOOOO fast.
nice vid bro
At the risk of being difficult.....do both. I have ZERO interest in N55 content, but I'd support it because you're right......you have a larger audience because the N55 is more accessible. Then trade it in on a B58 which I am VERY interested in seeing. The plan is to add either a Tesla or a B58 340i to the e93/Lexus LS garage in the next year.
B58 all day in every way. I had an n55 and n54 preferred the n54 in my 335is over the 2013 335 n55. And now my b58 is just killing the game with some simple bolt ones and tune especially with xdrive and 6spd.
why’d you prefer the n54? was it for power? i’m tryna get a n55 as my first car from what i’ve heard it def makes less power than the n54 but it’s way more reliable plus i’m just getting into cars so would that be a good platform to start?
@@krazykid490 id say either are great and powerful platforms. If you manage to get a 335is that n54 is the most reliable n54 with some added goodies. The n55b is from the m2 pre comp model and is a very good motor as well. I just prefer the driving feel of the n54. Both csn be made really fast. If you care for them properly they are both easy platforms. My buddies n54 is making 700whp with a single turbo conversion. And my kther friend has a pure stage 2 has a pure sturbo stage 2 and makes around 630. Both a fun and nice and easy to work on.
@@krazykid490 just make sure you do your homework and you be good to go. Esp when purchasing a used one. What platform were you thinking of buying?
It’s nice bro!, Good grab.
I had a 435 manual stage 2 fbo and now I have a 340i auto and I can say the b58 is an absolute monster. the n55 was great but I genuinely can't recommend getting one after being in a b58. also, for all my die-hard manual fans I would honestly give the automatic in this car a chance I would much rather have this car in an auto after owning both and if you still want a manual I would recommend a different car but at the end of the day its all personal preference
yea bro the 8 speeds are no joke
I’m about to try one with the auto tomorrow- looking to upgrade from my six speed WRX. Looking for fast and comfy daily driving
@@jonm.678 very comfortable ride quality stock but would definitely recommend a stage 1 tune at the very least
Sheesh i got the N54 rn 💪🏽 this hella clean too
An F32 435i build with an N55 would be a pretty cool tribute to your old E93 335i build!!
True! The 340i is a gem!!
I wish my country got the 340i. We only got the 320i and 330i for the LCI model. But, with the pre LCI we had the 335i, but they are expensive (even used)
Love how when u sensors a curse word it’s the BMW chime 😂😂
Seen an m235i stock Motor pushing 760 by bigboost an N55 build will go crazy on this channel cuz not manny people really have N55s builds.
Could you tell me what you did to the exhaust to get it to sound like this? I have an e90 328i but really thinking about upgrading to an f30 340i
Nice. Is good 2 be back tho. Keep it up with ill videos. Excellent content........
I have a '17 440i 6MT with M-Sport & THP. Good car.
This is on if the videos that sold me on the b48 in the f30. I got 2018 340 with m sport package yesterday. Wasn’t planning to buy it yet but the test drive kinda blew me away.
Congrats bro how much you pay
Bro, I still have my Grey n54 w the red seats which is my baby. But, in Oct I picked up a white 435i M package (red interior) with 40k miles. I must say I love my N55. It has every option as well, including heads up display. Definitely a buy, and a Beast!!!!
Oh boy when he said "the interior has kept pretty well for 56k miles" while I'm sitting inside my Evo X at 235k miles, that really hit home although I got it in mint condition and mileage is just a number from the constant builds I've done with the years lol
I would like to see a 340i on the channel !
I LOVE my 340.. there are SO many options for everything you want to do. And for a Stimulus check worth of money its fucking quick. 3 bolt ons and it moves..
What mods
@@eddiegallardo8941 downpipe exhaust and tune yields 500 crank hp
Gotta get a B58. Overtime I'm sure there will be way more B58 owners. I personally plan on getting one in the near future.
The seats are probably sensetech so they hold up well. For the radio there is tons of ncr music on UA-cam.
I drove a 2018 f30 w sport package for a week last month in SoCal over 1,000 miles, yes the f30 loves and I mean loves going 90-100 mph but also yes the handling just isn’t telepathic on this platform … bmw makes a great car (even though the plastic interior on the f30 is shameful, shameful) but their drive-by-wire settings are absurd for “the ultimate driving machine” .. great car, great value, but if you’re an enthusiast TEST DRIVE FIRST!
The 8HP is a game changer.
Very nice car wether you keep factory performance or modded out and great looks too.
Please do full N55 build.
i have a 340i, i love it
Selling my supra for a 2018 340i xDrive w/ a 6 speed, I honestly can't wait to get back into a manual transmission.
The n55 crazy build would be great to see. It would be a ton more content for the channel too.
I got a 17’ m240i with the b58 and it’s such a fucking great car. I’d prefer the m240 over the 340 even if you compromise a bit of space
You're describing the "Euro Fast" feel.
Lol you should see my 150k+ mile f30 328i. its proof of how good these interiors are. It doesn't have that many options fitted but its held up very well to a family of 4 and 3 dogs
Can you really say it's affordable vs the N54 platform, plus has it been around long enough to say it's reliable at high HP tunes? Thinking of the bricking of Thick Whips 340i
I drive a 2003 e46 330ci convertible - my first BMW I bought last summer. I'm in such a weird place mentally because this was the car I wanted when I was 19 but couldn't afford it. Now, at 32, I can afford an f80 m3 but I still choose to drive an 03 car like I'm emotionally stuck in the past whilst every other car on the road is a new car. Anyone else have this weird attachment?
2013-2014 e550 coupe is where it’s at. Twin turbo v8.
Hey bro ! I have a 2006 Bmw 530xi !! What you think is a good car ? I want to make it louder ! What you recommend?
F30 n55 please!!! Not just because I drive one. But could be something new platform for your channel ! :)
Do you know where I can find performance mods for my 2014 750i ? It’s an f01 model with the n63 engine. I literally can’t find any good Inter coolers, charge coolers, exhausts, Intakes etc.
Definitely build a n55 performance car stock body just carbon bits and see how far you can take the stock bottom end
@Shelik Hodge N55s suck compared to B58s
@@Rhadiqul agreed
@@Rhadiqul Completely ignoring the fact that every big youtuber with a B58 has had a catastrophic engine failure... I love my N55, enough power to max out AT trans, and proven to be reliable at higher power levels. Unlike the B58 that turned out to be mostly hype.

i have about 15k i don’t know if i should buy a n54 335i or put it down on a 340i and finance the rest. i want about 500whp and i’m in college. any advice would be appreciated!!
