Tuned BMW M340i v M340d v 330e: DRAG RACE

Sell your car for free with Carwow: bit.ly/Sell-Yo...
3 Series drag race let’s goooo!
We’ve got our hands on a BMW M340i, M340d & 330e, and they’re going head-to-head to see just how different the performance is of a petrol, diesel & plug-in hybrid 3 Series. However, they’re not all stock - each car has had a stage one tune! So let’s see how they compare.
Starting with Mat in the M340d Touring, it’s powered by a 3-litre straight-six diesel that can now put down 430hp and 850Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,945kg.
Next up we have the M340i. It’s equipped with a 3-litre straight-six petrol, and it now puts down 470hp and 630Nm. Like the diesel power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at just 1758kg.
Then finally we have the 330e. It’s equipped with a 2-litre turbocharged 4 cylinder coupled with an electric motor, and these combine to put down 400hp and 700Nm. Power is only sent to the rear wheels only via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s also the lightest car here, tipping the scales at scales at 1,740kg.
So the M340i has the most power, but will it be an easy win? Or could the diesel or plug-in hybrid snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I have a stage 1 330e and I honestly love it because it's the cheapest straight line performance car I think of. I pootle to work and back on electric only mode then if I want a bit of speed in xtraboost mode it absolutely flies! Mine was dyno'd at 415bhp in xtraboost which is crazy all things considered. The downside of the car is that you have to be careful about oil temp - if you've been running in electric only and suddenly want to boot it, you have a cold engine and have to wait 5 mins for it to warm up. Overall I love it though, I average well over 50mpg all of the time but have enough power to surprise 95% of cars on the road. Also - it does have launch control its just extremely finicky to get working!

[@Scott-mv1fk]

@@elnoel1220 I've had a m340i for 9 months, tuned it to stage 1, and then got bored and sold it. Bought a M440d, now tuned to approx 390 HP and 780 NM. It's in every way a better car (with the right diesel, like BP Ultimate) than the i, except the sound. But that B58 sound just gets irritating over time if you use it as a daily. I prefer the diesel because it always is at the sweet spot and ready to deliver the torque. To get the same acceleration feel in the petrol version i had to shift back 2 or even 3 gears. To me the m340i really felt weaker, except at very high revs were it had a relatively short power burst. Btw: The torque does not dissapear quickly at all on the diesel, it keeps pulling up to 260 km/h because it shifts right back onto the maximum torque sweetspot. The M340i does not do that, that torque bandwidth feels smaller compared to the diesel. Mostly because the diesel has more torque at 2500 RPM than the petrol has at 6000 RPM at it's maximum. The M340i only started to feel quick from 3750 RPM up to 5800 RPM but needs to reach the higher end to built it up. The diesel is fast from 1200 to 4500 RPM and feels quick during the whole bandwidth. Do the math. I could not keep up with my friends M5 (G30, original) in the M340i, but now with the tuned M340d it is more or less an even score.

[@CameronAC]

Not very fair the diesel being the estate variant, it's already heavy enough being diesel.

[@Manu-Official]

More torque though.

[@manoszervas9613]

How much lighter is the sedan version ?🤔

[@sven679]

​@@Manu-Official You know torque is meaningless. Only HP matters for acceleration. Especially when you consider that the torque on the wheels is the same, because of the gearbox... Try racing a truck engine. 2000Nm, but 400hp. It will go just as fast as any other 400hp car (assuming the same weight)

[@trader548]

Very respectable time for the plug in hybrid.

[@SteveTurner-xv4xy]

I own a standard M340d touring ( the price of petrol is cheaper yes, but full efficiency no where close to the diesel ) and the performance for the road and real world driving is ample! Great car

[@777DaKe777]

Real world performance for 340i is so much better and funnier. Fuel efficiency of 340i is like 1-1.5l difference per 100km on highway, which is most cases is nothin :) So funny to read that only plus diesel owners who paid a lot for nothing is “FuEl ConSumPtion” seriously mate 😂

[@SuperRob41]

@@funfzylinder the range is 300 miles, electric and petrol, I am showing about 40mpg - it does have a small fuel tank 45l - and the electric seems to be about 25miles. cost about £5 to fully charge the battery at a public point - cheaper at home so depends on what driving you do - as to the fuel consumption - as a daily its amazing, smooth - powerful - great tech and looks really good

[@Leeholtom2911]

I’d love to be able to refer to a £10k+ cost difference as ‘nah they cost about the same mate’ 😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Sthiba]

Please do more of these last gear races... They will definately bring out some interesting outcomes with various vehicle models.

[@stubbarn]

I’m on the Good Year Eagle F1 A6 and it’s an absolutely superb tire. Still quiet after 1.5 years with incredible traction and much cheaper than Michelin PS5s.

[@FreakyTrickshots]

330i is faster than the 330e 0-60. The 330i has 258hp while the 330e has 292hp but the 330i on paper still does 0-60 in 5.2sec whereas the 330e does it in 5.4sec, probably due to it being heavier. Would have loved to see the 330i in this comparison, very underrated and sounds beautiful as well.

[@TheFuelInjected]

I believe you're referring to the F30 without Eboost. The G30 with Eboost has a 4.9 0-60 time

[@tuftt]

I had the 330e and it has launch control. gearbox sport, traction off and pedal all the way to the click

[@KMWE60]

Teeeeechnically speaking the B58 is also a hybrid. A mild hybrid. 🤓

[@madhusudantiwari3232]

The idle sound of that diesel is 🔥🔥 if you wore earphones you can hear a constant bassy noise compared to petrol cars.

[@peterswift2774]

I love my 540ix.. few mods, tune and you have a luxurious car that will do 0-60

[@Farouq61]

The difference is that the 300e has the engine of the 320i and is compared to 340 models and it holds up very well. 😊

[@TheGhostRadio2077]

M340d ❤

[@markcarpenter4175]

great test, Ive got a 340i and also a 340d and the 340i has averaged 34mpg with the 340d at 44mpg. When ur in the mood the 340i is best but for everyday the 340d wins....

[@ujjvallal9909]

When your in mood 340d can work too

[@gord6695]

i’ve got m3 and m4 and m5 and m6 and i get 20 mpg from them

[@tomasvesely1441]

nope, petrol R6 BMW can work about 7-8 l\100

[@777DaKe777]

M340i for everyday wins, that’s obvious. 340d is a dull purchase, want to get an economy/performance - buy a tesla, but when you already spend a bunch on money for 3 serious, please don’t tell us about these 10mpgs. I’ve tested 340i and 340d, on highway it’s 1-1.5l difference, diesel with shitty sound, no emotions and vibrations is so idiotic

[@ujjvallal9909]

@@777DaKe777 kid the modern diesel got zero vibrations and it’s wayyy more efficient and is as quick too you high or smthing

Is the m340 really tuned? I have a few buddies with tuned m340s and they run wayyyy quicker then that quarter mile

[@talhakochan6584]

Thank you CARWOW

[@EnterTheFenix]

Ive got the diesel and I find that it performs better in a straight line with the gearbox in normal. Sport for the gearbox is better if you're changing speeds constantly
