Has anyone done any upgrades to their M340i?
Hey guys, placed an order for my first BMW M340i xDrive. With Black Friday right around the corner, I'm assuming there will be some good deals on parts.
I'm wondering if anyone here added some bolt-ons to their cars for some extra hp or just for fun. If so, what were they? what companies? And what are your opinions on them? |

Well, everyone seems crazy about downpipes around here, so there's that if you don't care about legal reasons or warranty.
There's also the Burger Motorsports air intake, which is a super easy bolt-on. Burger Motorsports will also have a JB4 available for the M340i at some point (since they already have a version for the new Supra). As for exhaust, I don't think there's anything dedicated besides the M Performance one from BMW. Akrapovic said they will have one available for the car at some point in Q1 2020, personally I'm waiting for that one since it's ECE approved, so very good for me in Europe.

Iv had flash tunes on privious cars, but I hope by the time I get my car, jb4 will be fully operational. I like the idea of being able to remove when needed.

I was under the impression that jb4 was not out for the m340 yet, but I can see that all one would need is the data cable or the phone kit to switch tunes, other than that its fully functioning for the b58.... which air intake and DP are you running?

Bootmod/BM3/PTF (for those that are not familiar) has had a tune out for the B58 for maybe two years now - they came to market not too long after MP/Alex cracked the 1st gen B58 DME and launched his flash tune.
That said I just took a look at the PTF sight and the Supra is now supported and they are listing a B58 solution for the GXX (that's how they have it listed) so perhaps it is available for the M340?? I don't know - my money goes to MP always - but I'm happy to see others come to market. Last edited by chenry; 11-19-2019 at 01:35 PM.. |

You can always just flash back to stock and lock your DME in a matter of minutes - if the dealer digs deep enough they will figure out the car has been tuned whether it is a piggyback (JB4, JB+, Superchip, AA etc..) or a flash (Mission, Carbauhn, PTF/BM3 etc..). Given that information and after living with piggybacks and now a flash on my B58 I would never go back to a piggyback (unless it was on the backend of a flash like the MHD/JB4 solution). The flash is just so much smoother and linear vs the piggybacks (I had JB+, JB4 and AA). But that's just me...to each their own. My point is at the end of the day a piggyback and a flash are both detectable. The days of thinking that a piggyback is less detectable are behind us. |

Out of curiosity why are you waiting for Pro Tuning Freaks (BM3)? Not saying you shouldn't (and please understand I'm not being argumentative) but with Carbaun, Burger (JB4 piggyback) and Mission Performance (and probably others I haven't listed) on the market what are you expecting to get from PTF that these other tuners are not delivering?
Thanks!! |

Hey Mission Performance (if you care to respond) bench flash (send in your computer/dme) vs local (do it at home) where are you at. I understand it's a cat and mouse race between tuners and BMW and their updates Last edited by chenry; 12-03-2019 at 03:29 PM.. |

The above questions really depend on which software version you are running. If you have gone to a dealer and they have specifically UPDATED your vehicle any time from 11/05/19 and later, then you are probably running the latest tuning protection version which blocks us from flashing over OBD. In this case, we will need a computer here at our office to get you unlocked. Once unlocked, you can OBD flash your car to tuned or back to stock anytime you like using your windows laptop. Again, this only applies to customers that have been flashed by a dealer in the last 25 days. Everyone else can enjoy simple flashing over OBD at any time they like.
And yes, it really is that simple. Plug your laptop to your car over enet cable, follow on screen instructions and you are done. Unlocking ecu takes 5 minutes and flash changes take only 1 minute. |
