I remember when everybody wanted bright white Lights in E46 and E39, now everybody wants yellow again :D

[@AI-Records24]

Funny how trends change isn’t it same with “fashion”😅

[@schwuppdiewupp7]

That‘s because the "yellow“ from old halogen headlight isn’t the yellow color that looks nice. The modern LED yellow is amazing, like the one from racecars

[@BinaryBlueBull]

@@schwuppdiewupp7 Indeed. And not only that, the limited edition M4 CSL has these yellow DRL's from the factory., too That's why people want them on their cars too, because it is a nod (or an insult, depending on your viewpoint) to the CSL edition, alongside being a nod to the GT3 cars as you say

[@BasRikken]

only tokkies want yellow

such an amazing car!

Great car for sure. I have the stock version picked up November last year (2024 model year) and couldn't be more happy! Cool mods but not a fan of yellow lights. I very much prefer the bright white lights 7 days of the week. I think you mentioned the car was on winter tyres being limited and moments later, you blast down the Autobahn at 260+ km/h 😬 You're a brave man 🙂

Our top speed limit here in the UK was settled on 70mph, back when the the Flintstones were still driving/running about. Pathetic... As a populace we will basically put up with anything the government tells us to. Meanwhile the average street is almost undrivable due to potholes. Remember all that North Sea oil? Rant over😪

[@keketsorathobei2688]

I don't like the yellow DRL's, and I don't think there is a problem with cerium grey on the older spec 340, but I think it is better suited to the M340i rather than a luxury spec or comfort spec with cerium grey options...

[@grubguts309]

These b58/s58 are awsome. 500 to 600hp for the street is plenty.

[@zdx197]

The Alpina B3 has the S58, not the B58.

[@irfanbaig8776]

I wonder why m340 is so ‘hot’ but not the m440. Four doors are practical, but the m440 is so much more fun.

[@alext4019]

Is this a mild hybrid? Is this exhaust setup compatible with the M Performance Exhaust?

[@kasuh3105]

I believe this is pre-mild hybrid, so no. Also, in EU I dont think the MPE is available - at least not in Germany due to regulations.

[@alext4019]

@@kasuh3105 I found it on realoem by code, then searched for the code at different suppliers in Romania. I managed to find it, it is almost 2k euro.

[@blase3121]

the car is cool, the only things I dont like is that it is an estate and those ugly yellow lights. if that was a saloon with normal lights it would have been awesome

[@janiikavalko4046]

wow it really revved to something like 6900rpm cleanly. GoodJob.

[@jortepap]

but loses torque after 5500 rpm... Latest A45 S for example has a more flat/NA-like torque curve. I wish more fast turbocharged hatchbacks/saloons/estates are like that :(

@@markus8484the m comfort seats are an option and just bolt in, I have them in mine, they are so much better than the stock seats, you sit lower, more supportive, and look much better

[@markus8484]

@@Becausefamilycar hmm what are you talking about exactly because I looked it up and as I knew before…there are no M Comfort Seats as an option for the M3. M3 has its standard M Seats (ventilation is an option there) and the carbon bucket seats. Comfort seats wouldn’t make sense in a M3 anyhow! If you like a comfy car, do not buy an M3! So the stand1rd m seats maybe be a little better than the Soort seats in this m340i Touring but would not justify a swap.

Since when is MHD street legal ??? That is new for me.....

[@PrinceBarin77]

Perhaps someone can explain since I cannot really understand why you would tune a car this expensive instead of just buying a faster car. Almost all of this spend is sunk cost since I don’t imagine buyers are queuing up to buy a “tuned” M340i. In fact, I imagine values of tuned everyday cars are pretty poor. It invalidates your warranty. It makes insurance a nightmare (unless you lie to your insurer and then good luck making a claim). And by selectively tuning certain components (those that give you speed) over others (like brakes, engine components etc), you are more likely to have a car that is imbalanced for its overall performance. Just buy an M3 surely?

[@framfull]

We have wintertyres so we have a limit. 260🤣

[@markus8484]

„It is completely street legal in europe“ and he has MHD Tuning on it…🤔

[@themightywhatever4884]

No clue about other EU countries, but Germany has a very different opinion about the "street legal" part 😂

[@Becausefamilycar]

Legal in the uk, as long as it passes emissions , which if ece it will.

[@vollcare4076]

@@BecausefamilycarI don’t think it’s legal in the UK - maybe nobody is checking it or penalize it (as standard), but that doesn’t mean it’s legal

[@justus9694]

a tune doesn't generally make a car illegal in Germany, there are completely legal tunes out there which get noted in the cars paperwork (different power, top speed) and then you're good to go. Don't know whether MHD offers this, but there's no general problem with tuning your car in Germany. Same with the downpipe etc., although there even are downpipes out there which don't even require any paperwork, as they have been tested to perform within the margins of the stock downpipe emissions-wise. I'm not saying tuning is easy here, but it's also not like everything was illegal here.

[@themightywhatever4884]

@@justus9694 You're of course completely right, but in the specific instance of this video, the car is definitely illegal (in Germany at least). MHD themselves offer no Teilegutachten (paperwork to get it legal for non-Germans), and even if they did it would not apply to the car, as the car is not stock (Downpipe). The downpipe itself is legal (ECE), but also not in this instance, as the engine software was changed. Both mods cancel each other out legally, so you would need to get a Einzelabnahme (very expensive and complicated check if the car is legal with all the mods for non-Germans).
