100k Mile BMW 340i Test Drive

[@GregNice718]

Great review 🔥🔥🔥 B58 is seriously one of the best engines ever made. I’ve got one and it has fulfilled and overflowed everything I could want out of a car..

[@spoolsociety]

Thanks! 🙏 on paper & through rumors I’ve heard fantastic things about it, but after driving one (especially in rough condition) I was blown away by how responsive & powerful it felt, even stock. I want to drive a 240i or m240i next, because I love the size of my e46 and it’s nearly identical

[@derbigpr500]

100k is low mileage, it's not even fully broken in yet. If it's maintained regularly it's doing 300k-400k easily. I don't know why Americans think 100k is high mileage, but with the wasteful culture of not taking care of cars at all and just leasing them without maintenance and then throwing them away for someone else to buy and not take care of them further, until something finally breaks that wouldn't break to begin with if the car was serviced regularly, I understand why their cars break down way more often than in the rest of the world. But 100k is definitely not high, a properly maintained one (and by that I mean just servicing it as the manufacturer recommends with original parts and fluids, not cheap replacements) will drive and feel like a brand new car at 100k, in fact, even at 200k.

[@spoolsociety]

@@derbigpr500 100k isn’t high enough for me to warrant getting rid of my car (as I’ve got 3 BMW’s with 100k+ right now), but it’s high enough to not want to pay $20,000 for a car. I would buy this car with the intent of modifying it & tuning it for higher power, and 4 owners in 100k amongst other things makes me suspicious of the cars condition & maintenance, especially combined with a cat-delete without a tune, another great indicator of poor maintenance. The issue isn’t owning a performance car at 100k miles…it’s buying one at 100k. Happy to keep it until 200k+!

[@verdunian595]

300k-400k on a platform with more plastic in the engine bay than there is in Nicki Minaj's ass. Keep dreaming bro

[@ltcwinger3123]

Can't agree more. I lived in Germany for 3 years and they took care of their cars much better than Americans. It could be a basic BMW or Audi or a higher end one...they were well taken care of inside and out. I think a lot of European reliability issues from the US is due to poor ownership care and maintenance.

[@JoiceVaderd]

Every BMW I have owned got over 200k miles. E46 and E90

[@Osamabeenleanin210]

On deployments in Afghanistan I would see them literally rebuild completely broken parts on old ealry 90's Toyota 4x4's, install it, and keep it moving like nothing. Here in the US when the navigation gets old folks think it's time for a completely new car. You see how quickly folks threw away a 2 year old iPhone, pay $1,500 for a new one, and the only thing that changed is the color option and camera🤡 America is the land of waste all to not be the last to have the newest thing that'll be old in 6 months. We love to impress people we hate for validation we don't need. My n54 has 193k miles with the original motor and trans and I refuse to ever get rid of it

[@jaioxung]

I have a '23 M240i and the stock B58TU pulls hard! It's a great engine and is probably making a bit more than the advertised 382hp. Definitely a future classic.

[@TM240x]

Got an early 2022 stock M240i x, nearly 40k miles , serviced every 5500 miles . Love it , pulls like a train and not bored of it yet .

[@frrad]

that’s a beautiful car

[@GeneralAlgren]

I had the N54 drove it up to 185k, now have a 2016 340 with 120k. This thing still feels crispy! I really liked the N54, but the B58 is a tank. My Dad has had more issues with his Corolla than I've had with this thing 😂

[@spidamit5278]

Looking at a 2 owner 150k 340 M sport, no accidents reported. Looks stock. Is it a gem or ticking time bomb? Any help???

[@N54_Jahzy]

@@spidamit5278make sure your gaskets done n timing chain potentially n any suspension components n you’ll be okay

[@mokatamine]

i think that this 340i is indeed not stock

[@spoolsociety]

No way lmao as soon as it fired up I knew, plus I think I spotted the tail end of a ceramic coated VRSF cat under behind the turbo

[@kitted0ut900]

I got a 2018 340i at 38k miles for like 25kish so I think the pricing is insane. 100K miles is low forsure but having 4 owners not sure how they maintained the car etc.

[@kitted0ut900]

I think the car was stock the turbo noises is regular.. and the sport pulls are super aggressive

[@eduardox2609]

When do you buy it and what state?

[@kitted0ut900]

@ 2022 and nj/ny

[@liamdk9848]

6:52 exactly what I thought when first driving my 340i and why I have no regterts up until this day after purchasing it...❤

[@SirKurogane]

Love how he ends the video with "yeah, I think I need a B58.." 😂😂

[@spoolsociety]

It’s going to happen 😂😂

[@SirKurogane]

@@spoolsociety you won't be disappointed. Just be prepared for coolant issues occasionally and get a PCV delete if you go gen1 B58. Otherwise you'll be paranoid every time you let it idle for longer than 10mins 😂😂 I just picked up my 17 540i x-drive m-sport in April and I've had to put a new radiator in it. Went full aluminum. And now it needs a new upper radiator hose (very slight crack slowly leaking on n off). But even with the issues it's hands down my most loved car I've ever had. I plan to make it as bulletproof as possible then enjoy the he\\ out of it for the rest of its life. 😁

[@b.f.378]

@@SirKuroganethat’s crazy cause I just replaced my radiator on my 2019 X3 M40i a few weeks ago, another coolant leak and now I have to replace my upper hose too which I’m taking care of in a couple days

[@randomperson8991]

@@SirKuroganebrother you got the right idea i fuck wit you. Hey so would you say it would be a good idea to simply just upgrade those parts before you even have any issues?

[@SirKurogane]

@@randomperson8991 if you have the time n money then yeah. My problem is there's currently no way aside from a lot of custom fab work to upgrade all my coolant hoses n lines to aluminum and silicone. There's currently aluminum radiators, expansion tanks, and caps. The PCV delete cap from Ross racing fits all gen1 B58s though. That's definitely on my to-do list 😂

[@Tachyon836]

Could be the mppsk package. They have like 360 whp Even the base 340i dynos like 323 whp stock. A good amount more than any stock N55 or N54

[@spoolsociety]

Interesting, would a VIN decoder identify that? It definitely felt significantly faster than a stock N54 or N55, even if the advertised crank HP numbers are only 20 higher

[@krystianrebowski4467]

from the exhaust tips alone, it was mppsk or even an mpe exhaust. that was a bone standard m sport pack car

[@lenspls]

Def not MPPSK, the exhaust tips give it away. They don't sell the tune separate from the exhaust.

[@akimbocs]

@@spoolsociety It will have a mppsk badge somewhere in the engine bay

Only the oil filter housing is a problem on these engines. Usually other parts are not that expesive to replace.

Hey bro I’m looking to start a yt channel doing car reviews how would you recommend I start?

@@MedullaM just start filming! This is my first & only car review video, and the only thing I did before this was repost reels from my IG to shorts on here to help start and build an audience, and pushed my followers to sub on here. I have 16k on IG but only maybe 25 people came over, so it doesn’t make a big difference overall. Just start making car related shorts & then record your first video & edit it

I have a 2025 M340i Xdrive on order. Portimao Blue with a tan interior. I will be the only owner from new and plan to trade it in after about 3 years or about 50K miles. If I have no wrecks and the car is kept in great condition I figure it will be worth about 40K or so.
