Ive had a 2020 as original owner. I have the stereo issue all the time. No other issues
Great video and clean whip. Can’t wait to see more mods
Appreciate it! 👊
Whip is a stupid name for a car
in Austria and Germany you get them for 30k euro. I catched mine for 25k. Will NEVER EVER sell this car , no matter whats happening ❤❤.E92 is great but this B58 is DOOOPE. Wish i had my E36 back with B58 engine hahaha
That’s awesome! And what a sweet build concept. Definitely would pick up a clapped out e36 and b58 swap it
@MrWilhelm76 are they still that cheap? I’m moving to Germany next year and I can’t wait to buy one
🤣🤣 The ending clips tho
Only there for the real ones! 🙏 😎
Ima watch more of ur vids

Thanks man I appreciate it! 🙌
I need to see this. I discovered another neat little car that rose to the top of my list as my next option. The M240i. It also has the B58. So my next choices are a Supra, M240i, or M4. I am leaning towards the M240i because of the price, B58, and extra space. I will contact Darwinpro to see if their F22/M2 spoiler wing fits on the M240i. It is the best wing on the market for the 2 series BMW cars, and I rarely see it on any cars in pictures. This is what I am thinking about as my next car. I have researched the F82 M4 and A90 Supra. Now I have discovered this neat little M240i car with the x-Drive option. I think my next car in the future will be a 2017-2020 M240i because of the price, AWD x-Drive option, it has the B58 engine, and it has the extra car space I like. I don't like the appearance of the next generation of 2 series cars. I saw one last weekend at Best Buy. 2017-2020 are the years I will choose. I have a stock 2016 Genesis Coupe 3.8 right now. The car is already becoming rare.
M240i is a great all around option especially if you plan to daily drive the car, cant say enough great things and you'll defiantly be seeing a Darwin wing on this car in the future ;)
Go for 2018+ if you have the money to consider an m4 or supra I wouldn’t buy a pre lci model
this is a late reply, but my brother owns a m235i with that spoiler if u would like to see it
2:49 These are literally the same thoughts I have been thinking the past year or two. The Supra is my favorite car among the recent modern sports cars, but I don't like the lack of spacing, and the M240i is cheaper.
Great minds think alike! M240i for the win!
Stage 2 93 MHD 6mt 240i. Had it for about 2 years now and I love it ! The tune wakes the car up like crazy I only imagine what it would feel like with the extra 30 or hp with e30 and a zf8
If you have the access to the E30 give it a spin! It’s a massive difference and well worth it, the manual sounds like loads of fun! I drove one briefly in a video once and it was a blast but it had a stage 3 clutch that was way too heavy though haha
Hi, have you had any kind of troubles caused by the tune so far? Currently I have 2019 model going stage 1 on 95RON. After 12000km I started feeling some vibrations at idle
@@rohatinandrei9327perhaps your engine mounts are getting worse. You could have unmetered air(maybe do a smoke test), spark plugs, coils. Vibrations come from a lot of things. Have you checked codes yet? It’s unlikely to be any actual engine issue.
I have a very similar one! Love it, going stage 2 here soon. Did you have to turn updates off or anything when you installed mhd?
2 series gang! And no I just had my seat belt on and all my accessories turned off..headlights and such
@@ParkerTheRapper awesome bro. I have to send mine to femto so I don’t want to mess it up. Everyone is like you need to turn off updates, with our vehicle I don’t believe that’s possible and we have to go to dealer to get done.
as far as I know I’ve never received or done any OTA updates , must be a new BMW thing since mines 2018
4:50 A F22 definetly does NOT have a drive by wire system. It has a servo motor that helps you but there is a connection.
Correct, I didn’t understand the term during the making of this video. The assisted steering is super light over all
one year of problems and the video is of him beating the shit out of his car
None in sight , don’t you worry 😎
Really getting underwhelmed by my mk8 gti because no tuners can unlock the tcu. Do these have the 7 speed dct or a regular automatic trans
This one comes with the ZF 8 speed, automatic. Great transmission and it’s tunable so you can throw a flash tune on the transmission to make it shift a lot faster. The DCT is quite the experience, though on the M2.
Thinking of buying one, maybe even cabrio. Not sure how it is for the snow (it's xdrive for Canada)
I have a buddy who have had an xdrive M235i who absolutely loved the car. The all-wheel-drive would make the launches insane as a bonus. ;)
@ParkerTheRapper I'm not concerned about stability on snow. Had Altima coupe that was very stable and well controlled. The issue is to get off the parking when it's lot of snow. Don't know if AWD non SUV's have wheel lock?
Mine with 500 bhp and 66 k miles and stil alive b58 is life !
We love to read it! What do u have done to the car?
been looking into a b58, not sure how low i should be looking at with miles for a reliable one and not one with someone beating the shit out of it and bringing it back to stock if they traded into the dealership. seen a few on FB market place but im a little hesitant to buy from there as no warranty and could be buying a car that was beat.
I’ve personally seen friends buy other BMWs that aren’t as reliable as the b58 (high mileage n55 100k plus) and after all the necessary maintenance was done the cars have run strong ever since. As for the b58 ive also had friends buy examples that already had a big turbo installed and they are just now reaching over 100k without any major issues. It all comes down to maintenance and taking those precautions first then to the fun stuff.
@@ParkerTheRapper yea i had a n54 a while back and man was that thing a head ache even after fixing most of the things it needed and took pretty good care of it but the engine was just taking a shit so i just don’t want a repeat of that happening but i’m confident in the b58 treating me well after doing the necessary things to it
The years of research and development on the b58 compared to the n54 is VERY prevalent in its reliability. You won’t be disappointed! 😎
I really want to get one What year is yours? Ive been looking at some 2017 ones
2018, No regrets whatsoever on this car
Are those wheels plastidipped or sprayed? Just realised they sprayed over the M logos.
I believe it’s just regular spray paint! I bought the car and I realize there were black lines going through the brake calipers. Meaning they had just left the wheels on the car and sprayed! 🤬
looking to buy one really soon! How has it been after another year with it? I’m looking at one with 68k miles
She’s been a great of a ride as anyone could hope for! 68k is a great as long as the maintenance history looks in good shape, you’ve got nothing to worry about. I’m close to 75k still stage 2 and not a problem in site! It’s a great feeling knowing I can count on the car to always run great and it do anything I ask of it , again because i keep up on the maintenance, very key. Go drive one if you haven’t and try not to fall in love!
Coming from a mk7 gti that was a nightmare of problems. I’m nervous about the reliability in bmw but everyone raves about b58 reliability.. it would be my daily with stage 2 mhd 93. Would you say it’s reliable and will last me a long long time if taken care of properly
I’m at 75k at this point still running stage 2+ no problems what so ever, just do ur oil changes and she’ll go forever. I’ve got friends with big turbos at over 110k miles making 800hp+ on their kill map with stock engine and a trans. Granted they had a new trans put in at like 90k due to their driving habits lol. Overall highly recommend
@@ParkerTheRapper that’s what i like to hear! Thanks for the response!
Ive had mine 7 years in may, 70k miles, not 1 problem. Get one
Fair warning: I totaled my m240i through a PUDDLE that was about 4 inches deep (the intake scoop on these are low) so be VERY careful when driving in rain or after a flood, ect. If its heavy enough rain you can hydrolock your engine just by driving around.
it was a 2019 m240i in black with red interior with 8k miles, sad day, but now im in an audi s5, now ya know, thats life.
That a crazy story! Sorry to hear it though but the s5 are awesome cars, definitely won’t being going through any puddles from now on so thank you
Would you recommend the BMW F30 340i in line or long road reliability because I | Toyota owner
I want to change to a BMW F30 3401. Is it as reliable as Toyota or not, and what is your advice regarding the reliability of the car? Because my hobby is that I searched for Lexus for permanent purchase and BMW for rent
Do you recommend it for heavy and daily use, and which is better in reliability, the Toyota Camry V6 or the B58 engine?
The Camry v6 will always win in the end, as reliable and fun as the b58 is , a naturally aspirated Toyota engine will last you for decades if maintained properly, I can’t say the same for the bmw unfortunately. Toyota remains supreme
@@ParkerTheRapper
Professor, thank you for the answer, but do you recommend a B58 engine for long distances? For example, I have traveled 140,000 kilometers on it. Will it withstand it or not, and what is the required maintenance, please, because I love speed, reliability, and lack of breakdowns. Do you recommend the B58 engine?
Yes I recommend the b58 engine , maintenance I believe is oil changes every 10,000 miles and I do mine every 5k just to be safe
If you want reliability stay with Toyota BMW is made for people who have money
@@darkxyt4706 I got rid of BMW and its childish things and now I'm with Honda Coldwink and Nissan 🌹😅
i have a 2018 m240, and i don’t have apple car play.. is that not an option for every one, or what? i miss having it in my old car lol.
I believe it was in the middle of 2018 they added it..just depends on the build date I guess. I’m pretty sure you can code it in if you have the bigger display for less than 50$
@@ParkerTheRapper everything after 07/17 works
The turf hahahah
Still in there to this day!
I want to sell both my cars for an m240 but it’s nearly impossible to find one by me in manual and correct spec🙁
This one took me 6 months to find ! They aren’t very common but that makes it worth the journey to acquire
I think you should race C6 Corvettes more often
Now this is what I’m talking about , when it dry out it’s on 😈
Line up with the proper c6 and youll be wishing you didnt lol
Did u install the Apple CarPlay yourself?
Nope, it’s a factory option on the 2018+ models
How do you check if you have the msport exhuast
If you look under the rear bumper it will say MSport on the muffler
that exhaust is crazy 😭
I’ll take that as a compliment! 😎 thank you!
Not even close to an N55 M2 stock exhaust. But if these really are more reliable maybe it’s worth it 🤷♂️
@@anthonyb2990 don’t get me wrong I love the M2 but for what the B58 provides in making power and reliability I’d be ok giving up the awesome exhaust note the N55 has
i just bought a 2018 today it’s nice spec
Congratulations! They are awesome cars!
@@ParkerTheRapper thanks I get to pick it up tuesday been watching ur vids bro
@@fullmetal1421 that’s so cool! Have you driven one before?
@@ParkerTheRapper yeah I liked it a lot, i’ve driven a lot of newer generation M440i and M340i but they’re a bit pricy, just having a B58 coupe was my goal tbh.
what’d the tune get you to?
With E30 maybe mid 4 hundreds?
How tall are you? I’m 6’3 lol afraid I’m too tall. Wanted to trade my 440i GC for one.
I’m 6’1 maybe 6’2 on a good day, The sunroof definitely gets pretty close to my head maybe and inch or half an inch but I have a very vertical seating position. If I didn’t have the sunroof I’d be just fine. Go to a dealer and try it out. They can’t really tell you no lol.
Im 6ft 4, plenty of room, no sunroof
Is the tune legal in Cali? Does it pass smog?
That’s a secret 🤫
@@ParkerTheRapper HAHAHA thank you for the response. I saw the other video you uploaded thank you
bro how can all the people in america afford these cars, in spain a 2018 m240i is like 30k$ with 50k miles on it. and the base salary is around 1600$ wtf
I never knew that! I wouldn’t say everybody can afford these but I wish everyone could experience cars like this. Some of us have the privilege combined with the discipline to afford them. For me personally, I work at a technology company.
We can’t… most people in America are up to their necks in debt. It’s supper common for Americans to own cars they can’t afford and take half of their salaries. It’s one of the main things that keep Americans poor. I’m making about $100k per year and I don’t feel like I could comfortably afford one of these right now at all.
@@ROVA00I think it largely depends on where you live and what your living situation is. Making about 100k you should actually be able to afford one of these. However 100k in NY or Cali or south florida you’re probably gonna struggle to afford this.
@@Jacob-xd3ko no way man! A car that’s over half my salary would not be a responsible expense. Could I pay for it? Yes… but what about saving and investing?
I guess it depends on your priorities and how you define “affording”. If I can pay my bills, have money to invest for retirement (at least 30%), a years worth of emergency savings, and still have money for taking my wife out to eat every once in a while, and can still pay for the car an insurance, then I can afford it.
If having the car means I can’t save/invest much for retirement and have to sacrifice going on a yearly trip or the occasional steak, or I am stressed about a house or cat repair, then I can’t afford it.
Maybe if I was 22 years old and making $100k I would feel more comfortable spending all my disposable income on a car, but at 35, retirement seems a lot closer.
In my opinion only the wealthy can truly afford a sports car like this brand new. Americans have simply normalized spending a large portion of their income into a car.
@@ROVA00 LOL funny thing is I am 22 and ordered a M240. Granted I don’t have a wife… or kids… or any bills… Totally possible. It all depends on responsibilities and what you choose to do with your money! Can’t take it to the grave with you!
what about the fuel consuption?
Car is great on gas! In the times that I was really trying for good gas mileage I got around 30 miles per gallon! When I’m on E85, it’s a different story🤓

This car stock looks like crap
I can somewhat agree with that, but rather than crap…a blank canvas
kyllähän mustangi on sentäs auto miesten mies ajaa mustangilla aina
You look 16, how much did Dad pay for this car?
Best compliment ever. Purchased the car on my own thank you very much.
0:04 hey what’s wrong with mustangs😢😢 to be fair I called bmw’s a girls car🤣🤣🤘🏻
😳 well ya see…
same lol wonder why he doesnt like mustangs, must be because he just got a b58 and feels like hes on top of the world, started with a n55 lol gotta humble yourself, have a 2017 10r80 and a 2017 b58 mustand drives better forsure, once u hit 100-120 in the mustang vs the bmw the mustang feels like youre cruising mind u the mustand is bone stock and the 340 has kwv3s. Dont be one of those car people!
Funny mustang joke. Not a fan either, but you're crazy to hate on the new shelby gt 350or gt500
The 350s are one of the greatest sounding cars of all time IMO. Road in handful of them and man they’re a fun ride! Definitely want to hop in the GT500 at some point as well!
You need XHP ,without it the tune will be limited
Stage 3 XHP with stage 2 e30 MHD is amazing on this car forsure
