Nice ride! Another 6MT 340i here. Respect.

JV973 · 06-09-2016, 07:25 PM

Damn that red looks good beautiful.

The IS was a hell of car and I still miss mines.

Thanks everyone for all of the responses! I was really nervous about the color-coming from 2 space grey (such an amazing color) BMW's and black and Maroon car, it's the brightest , most out-there color I've had but it's gorgeous. Love the way it looks in different lights. And the saddle is awesome!

Nice

what's your take on the N54 vs B58 so far?

M3maniac20 · 06-16-2016, 07:35 PM

Got the new rims put on!

Livetodrive · 06-16-2016, 09:18 PM

Great minds think alike! Mine is also Melbourne Red with the saddle interior, but with the 8-speed auto tranny and X-Drive. I love mine too. It has 5k miles on it, and so far, no problems.

The B58 is definitely quieter but that's already been discussed. The power is the same as my 335is so ko loss their but it's a great engine!

kolosy · 06-16-2016, 10:25 PM

nice! now, go get a blendmount and a savvy plug for that v1.

Congrats on the new 340i!

Interesting comment on the engine comparison.
My 340i Msport 8spd distinctly feels faster than my 335i Msport 8spd did, and my 335i was no slouch.

Did BMW change the gear ratios in the LCI 6spd MT?
Are the lower gears taller or has the final drive ratio changed at all?

I was quite surprised at how much I could feel the power difference between the 2 cars/engines as I wasn't expecting that much of a difference.

Congrats ! The Melbourne red with saddle is beautiful !!!

Surprised that you swapped the stunning looking 442Ms for the 405s.

tmdals0213 · 07-03-2016, 05:18 PM

Car looks great! Love the Melbourne Red. I'm missing my tuned 335is though. Car was a beast and the exhaust was intoxicating. Good luck with the ride.
