- Matt stops by with his new car, the BMW F30 340i xDrive fitted with a 6-speed manual. You don’t see too many of those anymore, and soon they’ll stop making them all together. So let’s find how it stacks up in our acceleration test.

Are you cross shopping this car with the Audi S5 or S4? If so, check out my performance review on the Audi here >>> ua-cam.com/video/gQMjwOu5dyA/v-deo.html
I just caught two of your videos (S5 and 340) and both times you mention the C43. Any chance there is an upcoming review? I'd be very interested as it's a tough call between the c43 and 340!
6 minutes and 4 seconds of automotive presentation excellence. Don't change a thing, Dan. Your vids are cinematic jewels.
Thanks Neil!
The 6-speed is great however with all this talk about how fast the car is, the 8-speed auto is the faster definitely the faster variant.
Well with Xhp Stage 4 for the 335i you get pretty close to the 8SPDR abilities with holding the gear, hill descent, and rev matching features plus the sound with DPs and DCI or intake for N55 it sounds awesome!
The auto is faster from a standstill but this test was for 40-100. The manual is the faster variant.
For straight line auto but for racing & drifting manual
manual gearbox enthusiasts don't care about 0.2s of acceleration
why is this so cinematic lmao, so different from other channels i love this
new 340i owner here. B58 is phenomenal stock, can't wait to do bolt-ons. But definitely jealous of the 6MT here, wish I found one, very difficult to come by these days
secret - Majority the 6spd produced were optioned X-drive :)
Getting my 2017 430i 6sp with 13,000 kms next week. I'm so pumped to enjoy it stock for a bit then get into some bolt ons!!
Nice, I forgot these things came with AWD. Comes in handy with a JB4, intake, DP and E85.
I like how you brought the owner into the mix. Well done!
Damn! This is the first video of yours I've come across and the cinematography is fantastic. Kudos!
Same!
This was a perfect episode. Even the dialog at the end was good!
I just recently purchased a 2016 340i but it's the rwd. And about a couple of months ago I had a jb4 installed at stage 1 and let me tell you the speed is ridiculous. I've yet to dino but I have seen my sports display max out at 400, both power and torque but until I die know it I won't know for sure. Great video dude 👍
Got the Dinan tune and intake installed yesterday! Perfect sleeper for my Real Estate business. Not doing the exhaust.
what's the Dinan tune bump the car up to power wise?
Great dialogue and cinematics. 🎥
Had my 340i xdrive on jb4 for almost 3yrs, great car for a daily... but my charger hellcat oh boy what a machine. Looking forward tonmy g20 m340i
All I can I say is wow! Nice of you to portray your feelings unto us on the other side of the screen.
Nice review and special underrated car!
Yes sir. Anotha one. Ty kind and well spoken sir.
Awesome with manual, definiately gives more enjoyment, even if somewhat we shift slower than the automatic.
0-100 in 9 seconds. That’s insane beating a focus RS. Those grille inserts added 100 horsepower not 50 😂. We did that on my dad’s 428i. Miss that car so much. The N20 motor is probably the best sounding 4 cylinder I’ve ever heard. Nice video once again. I was surprised how fast the 340 actually is. You wouldn’t think much of it at a red light until you were in its mirrors 5 seconds later
Actually 40-100. 0-100 time would be something like 12 seconds I'd I think. Definitely an underrated engine.
Track Day TV oh ok must’ve misheard you. And yeah the B58 is a wonderful motor, one of the best ever made by BMW’
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy underrated? Buddy, the b58 is super incredibly hyped, its coming in every car, they even put the S version in the X3M/X4M competition. Everyone knows how fucking insane this engine is
damn bro, your cinematography is on fuckin point, good job man!
Loved the walkies, reminded me of doing a mission in need for speed in real life.
love how you talk so monotone and serious lol
Legendary voice. 👍
It’s sad that manuals will no longer exist in new cars in the next ten years 😢
There are soooo many things to love and hate about his videos
I like those grill inserts. Especially on that color.
another great production !
Sounds pretty good too
Pretty impressive for sleeper family sedan. Gotta be careful when I run into one of those.
Great video as always! Want to compare this car to my F80 M3? I would be interested to see stock vs stock and then with his mods. The AWD will absolutely help once the mods are done.
Thanks. That'd be awesome! Always wanted to get a stock F80 M3 on the channel. Where are you located?
Chicago. You?@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy
Out in NJ, so a head to head may not work out. But I'll test an F80 M3 soon. I just did an M2C recently.
Okay, not problem. I figured I would offer if you were closer. Keep up the great work and I'll look forward to that M3 video! @@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy
Pretty sure the conversation at the table was a deleted scene from kill bill 2
Did Matt ever come back with his modded car? Would love to see how it does after the mods.
2018 340 x drive
Dinan tune ,mid pipe.its a beast at rough 400hp
Coilovers round it out
To help with new m340
I'll take them all day long
Ik this comment old bit I just got a 340 and I just ordered a catless downpipe why did you go with dinian I’ve been leaning to mhd but I’m new to bmw so I don’t really know the tuners
Mine in AWD with MPPSK is killer, and the paddle shifters work for me.
Great video as always 🇺🇸
To help you BMW had the 335i F30 who had 326hp then when they did the LCI changed the name to 340i and the 6 inline went to 340hp 😉
340HP rating would make a lot more sense. Are you in Europe? In the US, even the 2018 models are still rated for 320HP.
@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy Wow that's something that I didn't know. I thought that BMW would officially give the 340hp 340i. I lived in Europe and that's what we have so USA is getting robbed (well on the ratings on paper). But anyways great review keep the good work like that man
@@Random63R400 the 340i is coming with 326hp, not 340. Only the M performance version is coming with 340, however most of the b58 engines have stock around 360 hp
@@solucky1994 The M Performance Pack comes with 360hp
335i is shit n54 and n55 engine. 340i is b58- fucking insane and relaible engine
Nice work. Hope the G20 340 is as underrated and awesome as this one was.
It’s now the M340i it’s sounds like it’s gonna be a monster 0-60 4.2
F30 340i 👌
dream car
I dont see you replying to any comments, but ill ask anyway.
could you elaborate why the xdrive can gain more hp than the rwd?
Thanks for the comment. I don't think I specifically said that the AWD would gain more HP than the RWD. I think I mentioned that the RWD version would be faster due to less theoretical powertrain loss and weight reduction. But the AWD would potentially be faster in the real world if the car is modified because you won't have any traction issues on hard acceleration.
I’m looking into getting a 2017 340i at first but you got me on the xDrive... I have one question though, does it let you go fully RWD when you want it to?
@James 702 It does not let you go full RWD. If you plan to keep it stock or just do bolt ons, I’d say stick with the 340i instead of the xDrive. Unless of course you need the AWD for where you live.
Bravo! Another job well done! We can I expectyou in Ohio to review my cars 😎
Thanks! What part of Ohio? Hit me with a message on IG or FB.
340i in all it's glory.. but a 240i, same engine, coupe and less weight. Thats where it is ;)
Has a lot less road presence than a 3 series though, 2 series just doesn't look mean or as nice as 3 or 4 series.
Well, I have kids. I definitely needed the four doors. If I were in the market for a two door, I would have went with the 240i. Instead of a 2018 340i. Both are badass BMW’s. Love the b58.
I didn't think the new Supra came in a manual. 🤔
Great vid as always.
Thanks! 😄😄😄
9 sec is time of what????
Can someone tell me what bmws have a b58 engine and does this one have ?
340i and 440i,
Have you tested a A10 GT mustang yet? You can test mine if you come out this way.
Not yet, but I have done the M6 GT with 460HP as well as an A10 Ecoboost. Would be cool to see how much faster the A10 GT is though. I'm guessing high 6 second range for the 40-100.
Track Day TV it’s considerably faster. Drag mode is beast. I have a PP1 A10. Let me know if you come to the Bay Area brotha👌
Will do! Can you shoot me a DM on IG?
Track Day TV I do not have IG, send me a email address or something similar and I’ll hit you up.
Who else has a 340i xdrive and just watches reviews for mental comfort? (Not that its needed with this car).
Anyone else waiting for the second video with tune /dp ? 😭😭😂I want to see the diffence Soo badly..
I'll stick my M3 but this car is fast for not having an M badge on the name.
Nice
Not bad👍...is quick
Is Z4 is the new Supra this is the Chaser
Austrain's always fudge the numbers..325 to 370 ish ..you Americans and your HP numbers🤣, nice car.
Lines were long af fam cant ever be 1st
One day you'll get that first comment ☝️
"Something like that." :D
Why the goofy laugh at 2:51...what was that supposed to signify ?
i am in USA 'unfortunately'.so what is 0-60 time for this car? It can't be converted use simple math from metric to imperial as the real time is not linear acceleration.
That’s gotta be it
Hot car with a hot dude.
Why would you want a manual gearbox when the superb 8 speed auto is so much better?
Cheap ass interior
Looks good to me
@@jamsxr that's good jim have at it
Well, compared to American interiors 😉
@@jamsxr well done and agreed
No way AUDI RS4 AVANT / RS3 ...
Jfc another bimmer with the triple stripe grille, makes it look so tacky.
