Hey guys welcome back to the channel and in todays video we will be doing a deep dive on the wonderful bmw 3 series or 340i, 335i, 328i F30!! This cheap sports sedan with tons of tuning potential is still somehow decently reliable and luxurious for the budget you have!

i hope to own an f30 340i, it has such a nice design and doesn't break the bank only problem is they seem to be pretty rare.. like in my city there's only 5 available and they are all over 100k mileage

2016 328i N26 Msport (factory installed) here. You forgot to mention how early in the RPM band the torque is available. As early as 255 lb-ft @ 1,250 rpm. That makes a big difference when comparing it to other brands with similar power. Not to mention it's perfect to get around traffic, even in Comfort Mode. Averaging 26 to 28 mpg isn't terrible either. That said, I want to sell it and get something a couple of years newer. N55 or B58 msport would be nice.

im late to this but the 335i isn't bad, bolt ons, dp, 17t turbos with supporting mods and a proper tune they can go upwards of 700hp for less than 10k on top of the car

I also have been looking into getting a 340i, but just recently started getting into Audi’s…cause legendary awd…BUTTT considering I’m in Tx…I don’t think I’d really need it…either one I get…I’m considering keeping forever so…there’s that… any thoughts on Audi’s? Which is the rival I guess you can say to the 340i?

own a 340i and there great stock man. Honestly 0-60 in under 5 seconds and being rwd is awsome. There reliable and luxuries. Highly recommend one. And if your REALLY RICH go buy a m340i 2020 and tune that sucker. Now you well in the 11 second Quarter mile. On a reliable engine and trans. These cars IMO are the best generation for bmw.

I would say get a 340i xdrive, it had be switched to rwd only using xhp and u can still switch it back to awd if u need to drive through snow or want to put down high power and drag race it

You. Can definitely gap 90% of cars on the road with a fully built 328i pushing 375 hp on mine…about 5,000 in parts. 0$ in labor. And I still get 40 mpg in eco.

@@bkhan_ n26 engine making more power than a n20 at less rpm lower compression 328i is needed. You essentially delete the restrictive cats on a n26 and make more power under a tune than a n20. 328i is needed as the engine runs at lower compression than a base n20. N26 also has electronic waist gate. N20 pneumatic. Will not make as much power as a n26 under a tune. Sport line with Msport package installed, zf 8 speed is sport trans with paddle shifts and sports gearing. M adaptive suspension… mods list as follows. bootmod3 stage 2 93oct. Bootmod 3 zf8 speed tune. Evolution raceworks intercooler charge and boost pipe $1800, PPE transmission pan enlarged $350, GFB diverter valve $250, shuenk performance enlarged turbo inlet $350, injen (sealed) cold air intake $500, velosa tech ram air inlet in grill, $250 rolls performance full f30 chassis braces mid ,rear, front ,strut , 4 pieces $250 each limited edition red, evolution raceworks catless downpipe. Dinan high performance ignition kit. $300 Stock exhaust as it is not a restriction yet under 400 hp. The engine runs at around 200 coolant temp. Colder than stock. Stage 3 will be upgraded turbo (shuenk performance) $2,000 ish. All prices are estimated. Also the brake cable clip I replaced with a billet aluminum and I run a aluminum billet oil filter housing. That’s all I can think of. I did not include labor because I don’t pay it. Submarine mechanist mate…. Torpedo engine technician…. Also like to point out I did not opt for any burbles. Or the aggressive tune. This is the normal bootmod 3. As the aggressive and burble tuning defeats the purpose of tuning in the first place and you make less power to sound like a fool and you throw extra gass and fk with the engine timing. So if you want to actually be fast. DO NOT BURBLE TUNE. Settings need to be on 0 to achieve these results. Otherwise your trashing your air fuel ratio and rereading your timing. You will not make as much power of you do that. Don’t be a stupid teenager. Tune for optimal air fuel ratio. My Mpg actually increased. Under normal driving. Unless driving aggressively. Increase air flow. Increase fuel (when necessary) not to throw extra gas in exhausts to combust and make noises like a idiot.
