My new BMW 340i LCI

[yush1]

Hey guys. Small update. Went to the dyno today at CS Auto. Obviously the car is stock. I was shocked at the power it made. Just to add some perspective, the was a M135i, LCI, with a JB4, upgraded charge pipe and a full exhaust by TMSS which made 240kw. Below is the graph and a video.

Impressive!

I think the m135i that ran 240wkw and 505Nm was run with the hand brake up. It had bootmod3. The shop damaged his rear brakes. I maybe mistaking cars though.

You are right. it was a white one. The car normally gives you a warning if you drive with the handbrake amd you would defintly smell the brakes. I did expect more from than M135. When i spoke to the owner before he ran, he said hes expecting between 240kw and 250kw. Maybe other M135i owner can comment. This was the LCI one.

Power seems about right for a stock B58! Must light up DTC a lot :smilebounce:

A stock b58 makes 300kw at the fly? Thought it was an underrated 240fwkw, is the 60fwkw what bmw underrated that motor?

Indeed yes you would expect the 340i to be between what the 335i was and the M3/4 is.. My car makes 222wkw stock, this B58 makes 266wkw stock and the M3/4 makes well North of 300+wkw stock. So sounds about right yes :smilebounce: All BMW 6cyl turbos are quite underrated.

Im beginning to wonder how accurate dynos are? Are the manufactures actually under quoting this much? What is the actually power on the fly wheel than? I would like to compare on the same dyno on the day with another B58. Guys at the dyno kept insisting the car is tuned and its not possible. I guess some side by side action with other 40i's is the true measure. :thumbs:

Awesome car bro, enjoy her and travel safe!

M135i's ( or mine in particular ) made 201 wkw stock on the dyno.

Yeah I think the guy's name is Ryan with the LCI M135i. If that is the same guy you spoke to. Anyway the quoted power on bimmers accounts for fuel quality in all markets and all conditions. So with the worst 95 fuel you could buy the car would make its quoted figures. Places like Germany get good quality fuel and the cars do well on their pump fuel (98 etc). So when you add in some octane booster here the car responds well to it and gives higher numbers (By no means my real world findings but that is what alot of the European and American youtubers mention all the time). I tend to think it is probably the case.

Yup, that is Ryan's car. And as above, the car was dyno'd with the handbrake up and dyno'd in the wrong gear as well.

wow very strong!

 

[rsgordini]

Nice.. congrats

hey dude, Sweet ride!

congrats dude!

Is it possible that maybe the car has the MPPK upgrade also and they have not told you about it?

I dont think so. I do have the rear M Performance rear silencer. Theres normally a sticker in the engine and the sport displays shows around 270kw. Mine shows 240kw.

So, I went to ODI Raceway this past weekend. Firstly, the venue is safe and we had no problems. Big up to Nazzy and RaceSA for keeping the 1km going. Did one a run without the LC, ran 227kph and 228kph with the LC. Was really impressed considering the RS3 (294kw) did a 235kph. There were no QM speeds but if I had to estimate I think it would be around 13.1s @ 177kph. There were a few impressive cars like a Fiesta ST that did 224kph, M235i, 242kph, M3 CP (tuned), 255kph, RS3, (294kw), 235kph, another M4 CP - 275kph, E63s AMG, 255kph and a Golf 7R - 251kph. The car does slide around a bit with the LC. I think the x40i's can hold there own against most of the VAG tuned K04's. :cartel:

 

[Yuben]

:bravo::bravo::bravo:

I think you can be quite satisfied with your results Bro:thumbs:

 

[FerdiBotha]

Great speeds there bud.

I have so much respect for X40i’s. This just proves how quick they really are.

 

[babyboss]

Well Done guys :thumbs:

Hope 2 u'll @ next event ..

Fuel consumption update. Drove down on Saturday morning from JHB to Durban. Road was nice and quite. Filled up in JHB. Average speed was 110 kph. Full eco pro mode, never exceeded 2000 rpm. Filled up again in Durban. Final result, 18 km/litre or 5.5 litres/100km. Fuel gauge was one mark below half and the OBC indicated 17.9 km/ litre which proves its quite accurate. Amazing for a 6 cylinder petrol. Going to check going back later this week in comfort mode with much higher speeds and not being concerned with consumption. :cartel:

some really impressive figures right there!

 

[FerdiBotha]

Great consumption there Yush. Really, really impressive.

Please update with your return trip consumption, average speed etc.:thumbs:

 

[cOlDFuSiOn]

Great numbers! At 110km/h the engine is barely turning over in 8th so consumption figures make sense. :thumbs:

Thanks. Im quite impressed with the low torque. Revs sitting around 1600rpm.

Update on the trip up to JHB from Durbs. Average speed 130 kph. Comfort mode. Obviously the obligatory hard acceleration at each toll gate other than that took it easy to avoid fines. Got 12km/l or 8l/100 km. Overall Im really happy. Better than expected. :smilebounce:
