Hilda, the BMW 340i

Hi guys,

In April of 2019 I bought a 2016 BMW 340i xDrive M Sport. Sadly, I did sell the Tacoma to help pay for this car, but man is this thing a blast. The car is powered by the B58 3 liter turbo I6 coupled to the ZF 8 speed steptronic transmission, the same engine and transmission that is used in the new Toyota Supra. It's been a complete blast to drive from the get-go, and I've since installed some go-fast parts and cosmetic mods, and its even more fun to drive. I've also widened the tires from stock 225s to 245s. I haven't dyno'd the car yet, but its pushing a lot more HP than stock. Searching BMW forums for similar builds points to anywhere from 375-390 horsepower, compared to the stock 320. Stock 0-60 is somewhere around 4.5 seconds; its now pushing around 3.9 seconds. Here's a list of everything that's been done so far:

Wheels
-245/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+
-18x8.5 Enkei Raijins in black

Exterior
-M Performance front splitter
-Kies Motorsports side skirt extensions
-Kies Motorsports carbon fiber rear trunk lip
-Kies Motorsports carbon fiber M-style mirror caps
-Monaco Motorsports carbon fiber rear diffuser
-Carbon fiber M exhaust tips
-M3-style dual slat grille
-Clear side bumper reflectors

Interior
-Extended paddle shifters
-Red start/stop button (adds 50 hp)
-Ambient lighting upgrade (aka plastic strips that redirect light on doors)

Performance
-JB4 tune
-Agency Power air intake
-VRSF High-Flow Catted Downpipe
-xHP Flashtool Stage 3 transmission tune

And of course, this thread would be worthless without some pics. First two are as it sits as of June 2020, next 3 are from my trip with some friends to the Tail of the Dragon:
